English

Subject field(s)
  • Urban Planning
CONT

... in recent decades, the concept of mixed land use(MLU) has been hailed by urban planners for diminishing the demand for car transport and improving the vitality of urban neighbourhoods. MLU entails the integration of various land uses in an area; such as a street or neighbourhood with housing, shops, offices and leisure activities.

Record 3 1999-03-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Rolling and Suspension Components (Railroad)
CONT

High-speed maglev vehicles employ one of two kinds of suspension: electromagnetic (EMS) or electrodynamic (EDS). ... the electrodynamic system pushes the vehicle up above the guideway using repulsing magnets.

OBS

As implemented in the Japanese MLU prototypes, EDS is based on superconducting magnets, creating a gap about 10 times greater than EMS is capable of producing. The greater gap allows for less precision in guideway construction tolerances.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Roulement et suspension (Chemins de fer)
CONT

Les Trans Maglev à grande vitesse emploient la suspension électromagnétique ou la suspension électrodynamique. [...] le système électrodynamique soulève le véhicule au-dessus de la voie en utilisant une répulsion entre aimants.

OBS

Sur les prototypes MLU japonais, la suspension électrodynamique recourt à des aimants supraconducteurs et crée un espace environ dix fois plus grand que celui que peut produire la suspension électromagnétique. Cet espace supérieur autorise une moins grande précision lors de la construction de la voie.
