High speed rail trends, technologies and operational patterns: a comparison of established and emerging networks
This paper is set within the framework of the RailNewcastle Summer School program 2014 run by Newcastle University (UK). It presents a short history of high speed rail describing its main design and operational characteristics. The focus of the paper is on assessing the two key distinct models emerg...
