URBAN TRACK Issued: August 13, 2008<br />

Quality checked and approved by project co-ordinator André Van Leuven<br />

By means of the marker signals, the time plots were recalculated to path plots and the evaluation of the<br />

vehicle’s relative accelerations related to the <strong>track</strong> induced accelerations is done for every channel. A<br />

deterministic and statistic evaluation is performed. The results are for the both directions:<br />

Beside the reduction of the dispersions the results of the measurements from the time plot show:<br />

At the bogie: the differences between the two types of geometry cannot be seen due to the large<br />

amplitudes; the running characteristics are dominating.<br />

Much higher accelerations at the roof than at the bottom.<br />

Vehicle body has smaller non-compensated accelerations on the newly tamped <strong>track</strong>; it is guided<br />

calmly.<br />

When compared to conventional clothoid curves, the vehicles run more deterministic than stochastic<br />

with much smaller amplitudes on the Viennese transition curves.<br />

The fluctuation of non-compensated acceleration is evident smaller and the empiric dispersions are<br />

reduced.<br />

Is valid independently from the travelling direction.
