Results were compared with full scale data and assessed in terms European standards for trackside worker and passenger safety limits. Rail vehicle aerodynamic studies have tended to previously focus on high speed passenger trains in line with increases in train speed. The research presented within this thesis highlights the issues associated with the aerodynamic development around a freight train, providing the foundations for further research and a basis from which to develop international safety standards in relation to freight, as well as high speed trains. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aTransportation engineering 606 $aTraffic engineering 606 $aFluids 606 $aQuality control 606 $aReliability 606 $aIndustrial safety 606 $aTransportation Technology and Traffic Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23120 606 $aFluid- and Aerodynamics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21026 606 $aQuality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T22032 615 0$aTransportation engineering. 615 0$aTraffic engineering. 615 0$aFluids. 615 0$aQuality control. 615 0$aReliability. 615 0$aIndustrial safety. 615 14$aTransportation Technology and Traffic Engineering. 615 24$aFluid- and Aerodynamics. 615 24$aQuality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk. 676 $a385.2042 700 $aSoper$b David$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0763809 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254220003321 996 $aThe Aerodynamics of a Container Freight Train$92540603 997 $aUNINA
