Ever since the first ever train was used to carry coal from a mine in Shropshire (England, 1600), the technology of railway transportation has never looked back. It has only evolved and developed and remains one of the most important developments in the history of mankind even in today's age. The biggest invention in this field was the development of steam locomotive, but it took another two hundred years for commercial rail travel to practically begin. The railway systems of present day are much more complicated than they earlier used to be. This book is devoted to parameters monitoring in...

This book is an important source of information on railway systems engineering. In railway applications, performance studies are important for increasing the durability of railway systems. One of the main objectives is to validate whether the working conditions are reliable and safe. This task not only requires analysis of the whole traction chain, but also needs authentication that the railway infrastructure is efficiently working. Therefore, many tests for detecting any dysfunctions on their proper operation have been developed. This book discusses the various basics of railway traction,...
