商品描述

This book reveals the fundamental principles of how railways work, enabling safe, comfortable, accurate, high-speed, and energy-efficient operation. It utilizes figures and photographs to systematically and clearly explain the basic technical elements of building a railway system, including not only rolling stock but also tracks and electrical equipment.

Readers may have questions such as what is the real reason why trains run and stop? What is the difference in the air resistance between trains and automobiles? Why can a train curve without a steering wheel? How did we come to be able to use AC motors on railways? What is the idea of vibration-free and quiet vehicles? What are the technologies to achieve energy conservation and low noise?

This book answers simple questions from readers who are involved in or interested in high-speed and urban rail technology, allowing them to discover the secrets behind the development of advanced and innovative technologies. These eye-opening stories will inspire and energize you for the next advancements in railway technology.

In preparing the English edition, all chapters are reviewed. In particular, the latest information on safety measures for major earthquakes, which was not included in the Japanese edition, is added. This includes the early detection of earthquakes to stop trains before a major earthquake strikes, as well as measures to mitigate damage in the event of a major earthquake.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書揭示了鐵路運作的基本原則，使安全、舒適、準確、高速和節能的運行成為可能。它利用圖表和照片系統性且清晰地解釋了建設鐵路系統的基本技術要素，包括不僅是車輛，還有軌道和電氣設備。

讀者可能會有以下問題：火車運行和停止的真正原因是什麼？火車和汽車之間的空氣阻力有什麼不同？火車為什麼可以在沒有方向盤的情況下轉彎？我們是如何能夠在鐵路上使用交流電動機的？無震動和安靜車輛的概念是什麼？有哪些技術可以實現節能和低噪音？

本書回答了對於參與或對高速和城市鐵路技術感興趣的讀者提出的簡單問題，讓他們發現先進和創新技術背後的秘密。這些令人耳目一新的故事將激勵並鼓舞您迎接鐵路技術的下一次進步。

在準備英文版時，所有章節都經過審查。特別是，新增了在日本版中未包含的有關重大地震安全措施的最新資訊。這包括在重大地震來臨之前，及早偵測地震以停止火車的措施，以及在重大地震發生時減輕損害的措施。

作者簡介

​Dr. Masayuki Miyamoto received a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Tokyo.
