Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-speed rail is a comfortable, safe, flexible, and environmentally sustainable mode of transport that contributes socioeconomic benefits.
This Special Issue aims to show the research progress of high-speed railway and train technology around the world, to improve the exchange of relevant and new methodologies and achievements, and to promote the progress and development of high-speed railway systems.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Inovative technologies for high-speed railway infrastructure;
- Inovative high-speed train technology;
- Wheel–rail contact in high-speed operations;
- Dynamic response of high-speed trains;
- Track dynamics;
- Running safety assessement of high-speed trains;
- Inteligent condition-based monitoring for high-speed trains and tracks;
- Optimal scheduling of maintenance actions.
