TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Evaluation Method of Train Operation Control Under Gales Considering Temporal Fluctuations of Wind Velocity JO - Quarterly report of the railway technical research institute of Japan A1 - Fukuhara, T A1 - Imai, T SP - 148 EP - 152 VL - 48 IS - 3 N2 - This paper describes a study in which the authors investigated a method for quantitatively evaluating the safety levels involved in train control operations in gale wind conditions and the risk of a train overturning. This effort involved estimating the distribution functions of wind velocity occurrence and wind temporal fluctuations. From these functions, the authors were able to calculate the probability of a gale occurring in a particular section during train operations. This calculated probability was then compared with the relative frequency observed at the site. A risk analysis of gale conditions was then conducted for several different train operational control rules.
