Virtual laboratory predicts train vibrations

Wednesday, February 9, 2011 - 11:31 in Mathematics & Economics

A team of researchers Spain has designed a mathematical procedure for evaluating the vibrations produced by a train as it travels along its tracks. The model, which has been validated using data from the Madrid-Barcelona AVE high speed train line, makes it possible to predict the pattern of vibrations according to the type of train, the materials involved, and the condition of the track.
