The objective of the study is to identify and evaluate potential problems involving wheel-rail interaction which could limit the speed of a high speed rail (HSR) system. The study is based upon a survey of existing knowledge in the areas pertinent to wheel-rail interaction; no extensive analytical work is presented, but several approximate calculations are given. An attempt has been made to investigate possible wheel-rail speed limitations and to set aside some of the 'non-problems' which may at first appear to constitute a serious constraint upon rolling HSR concepts. The results and discussion are concentrated in four main areas; estimation of the dynamic loads; wheel behavior and structural integrity; rail dynamics and structural integrity; adhesion, hunting, and related problems.
