TCRP report 155 provides guidelines and descriptions for the design of various common types of light rail transit (LRT) track. The track structure types include ballasted track, direct fixation ("ballastless") track, and embedded track. The report considers the characteristics and interfaces of vehicle wheels and rail, tracks and wheel gauges, rail sections, alignments, speeds, and track moduli. The report includes chapters on vehicles, alignment, track structures, track components, special track work, aerial structures/bridges, corrosion control, noise and vibration, signals, traction power, and the integration of LRT track into urban streets.

Electric Traction and Utilisation of Electrical Energy, with the former constituting approximately two thirds of the course, is an elective subject prescribed in electrical engineering syllabus of most engineering colleges. While there is a growing demand for making this subject compulsory, most students complain about non-availability of books dealing with all elements of electric traction featuring in the syllabus. To bridge this gap and present the subject in a lucid manner, this book was conceived by the authors with the following broad objectives: (i) To present electric traction as a complete system. (ii) To combine knowledge of fundamentals with an eye on practical orientation. (iii) To give a glimpse of the present state-of-the-art. The books currently available on the subject mostly deal elaborately with train mechanics, traction motor and its control gears, but miss certain key aspects that are essential for appreciation of the subject as a system of transportation. The book has sixteen chapters dealing with different aspects of electric traction. The unique feature of this book is that it includes chapters dealing with such aspects as Linear Induction Motor Propulsion, Railway Signalling, Protection of Electric Locomotive Equipment and Circuits, Preventive/Corrective Maintenance and Application of Computers for Management of Electric Traction System. Illustrative worked Out examples and unsolved numerical exercises taken from question papers of different universities and competitive examinations are designed to impart sufficient clarity and grasp of the fundamentals. The practising engineer in the field, in most cases, pick up the subject in bits and pieces over a rather long time frame. A complete view of the entire subject in the beginning itself may generate better understanding leading to innovativeness and efficiency at work. The authors hope that the book will be helpful to graduate level students as well as practising engineers in the field. Suggestions for further improvements in subsequent editions will be most welcome.

Electric Traction for Railway Trains: A Book for Students, Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, Superintendents of Motive Power and Others by Edward Parris Burch, first published in 1911, is a rare manuscript, the original residing in one of the great libraries of the world. This book is a reproduction of that original, which has been scanned and cleaned by state-of-the-art publishing tools for better readability and enhanced appreciation. Restoration Editors' mission is to bring long out of print manuscripts back to life. Some smudges, annotations or unclear text may still exist, due to permanent damage to the original work. We believe the literary significance of the text justifies offering this reproduction, allowing a new generation to appreciate it.

Pantograph and Contact Line System comprehensively introduces pantographs, contact lines and their interactions in many areas including geometrics, dynamics, materials, and electrics—helpful to understanding the basic theories of interaction between pantographs and contact lines. The book examines application techniques for system design, construction and maintenance, and includes suggestions to keep pantograph and contact lines working in a safe and stable manner over the long term. In railway traction power supply system, the match between pantograph and contact lines is critical for reliable power transfer. The book provides application techniques for system management and parameter selection in design, construction and maintenance. This book is useful for people who are in catenary and pantograph-related areas such as college teachers and students, researchers and other professional and technical personnel in design, manufacture, construction, operation and maintenance. - Includes comprehensive coverage of all types of electric-powered trains - Presents pantographs and contact lines as a whole system - Explores electrical acting between pantograph and contact line systems for the first time - Summarizes techniques in geometrics, dynamics, materials and electrics - Establishes theories specific to pantograph and contact line systems - Applies theories of pantograph, contact lines and other interactions into system management and parameter selection in design, construction and maintenance - Provides the techniques applied in measurement and maintenance
