About the influence of wheel-rail adhesion on the maximum speed of trains
Wheel-rail adhesion is a fundamental aspect in rail transport, with high impact on traction and braking of trains. In the case of high speeds trains, wheel-rail adhesion is particularly important, as the maximum usable traction force is limited by the adhesion force. The present paper analyses the i...

The present paper analyses the influence of wheel-rail adhesion on the maximum speed of trains, considering ranges of usual values for the track gradient and the adhesion coefficient and the real data of two Japanese high-speed trains.
