Abstract:One of the main countermeasures to the problem of crosswind in railway vehicles is the introduction of windbreaks in the windiest points of a railway line. However, in some cases due to the morphology of the terrain or because operational reasons, gaps can be found in the stretch of windbreaks with a consequently reduction of efficiency. The goal of this work is to develop a methodology for the evaluation of the effects on the safety to crosswind of high-speed trains running in a track where a gap is present i… Show more
