Hydrogen production from petrochemical refineries wastes and its utilisation in powertrain for railway vehicles and in distributed generation of electricity. Activity leader University of Perugia. Estimated activity cost 6.9 million. 

Efficient fire protection is also based on the consideration of product or scenario-specific hazards, which may lead to very specific materials development goals. Examples are the combination of impacts, such as vandalism and ignition source for seats in railway vehicles, or a preceding shock wave before the fire impact in navy applications. Some more product-specific phenomena of such kind are related directly to material properties, such as building up an increased risk for pool fires through burning thermoplastic plastics or dripping foams, and thus have become topics in the development of some flame-retarded materials.103... 

This method is easy to use, uses simple equipment with specified operating conditions of temperature and air flow. It is increasingly used for fire toxicity testing of materials used for railway vehicles and is also included in prEN45545-2. The lack of requirement for flaming to be observed...

Specifications for cone calorimeter heat release data include the MIL-STD 2031 [96] for products used in U.S. Navy submarines and the IMO draft [97] for materials used in highspeed surface craft. More recently, cone calorimetry heat release data have been used to assess the fire loading of railway vehicles [98].

These extmsion grades produce low levels of smoke, aroimd half of a comparable PPO alloy, and on a par with rigid PVC, often the main material chosen for many extruded electrical components such as ducts, conduits, etc. Bayblend FR 3030 even satisfies the Airbus Industrie demands on toxic fumes potentially released in aircraft cabins. It also achieves V-0 at 1.6 mm in UL94 and 1 mm components pass the glow wire test at 960 °C. The materials pass the Epiradiateur test for building panels and the German Bundesbahn test for parts in railway vehicles.

The pocket electrodes have a strong structure and are excellent in durability and the manufacturing cost thereof is low, and therefore, the pocket electrodes have been used for miner lamps, railway vehicles, emergency backup power, etc. for a long time. 

The TDG Regulations also permit a person to transport a substance between Canada and the United States by road or railway vehicle in accordance with the HMR when the substance is regulated in the United States but not regulated in Canada.

In general, the equations of motion are nonlinear. Making special assumptions on the MBS under consideration some multibody formalisms result in partially linear equations. For example the kinematics can be assumed to be linear in some applications of vehicle dynamics If the motion of a railway vehicle on a track is considered, the deviation of the vehicle from the nominal motion defined by the track can be assumed to be so small that one can linearize around that nominal motion. If in addition also the forces are linear, the resulting equations of motion are linear. For a straight line track and linear, time independent force laws the equations are linear with constant coefficients. For details on multibody formalisms which establish linear or partially linear equations, the reader is referred to [Wal89]. In this section we will assume that the equations of motion are given in a nonlinear form and we will show how the linearized equations look like. In subsequent chapters we will refer then to the linear equations when discussing linear system analysis methods. 

Collision involving railway vehicle A collision involving railway vehicle is a collision accident in which the first harmful event is the collision of a road vehicle in transport and a railway vehicle. 

Alloy 6005A is easily extrudable and can be press quenched. In the T5 temper, its mechanical strength is in the order of 290 MPa. This alloy has remarkable fracture toughness, and can therefore be used as a structural member, for instance in commercial road and railway vehicles, and in mechanical applications.
