SEMS - ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGH-SPEED RAILWAY

Similar to the strain gauge used for the "Precision in Emergency Landing", in the ground transportation each element of the suspension of a car, bus or transport of load makes the same function as a strain gauge, but with a much greater precision. To Fig. 1 we would have to add the anti-roll or torque bar, so in this case we have four-way or types of measurements to verify with precision the elasticity of the structure or elements. In any case it would be the springs and anti-roll bars those which best represent the function or elasticity of the "strain gauges".

As in aircraft, the SEMS system in a car would take a camera for the processing of images, by what this camera (day and night) become the "eyes" of the car. If previously we store the exact details of the path to follow, and we also rely on the GPS system, States categorically, that with this system any car could circulate without human intervention with total autonomy and safety throughout the network of roads in any country. If we also consider the white lines or reflective lane markers, then we can say that such vehicle literally circulate as being "on rails" (in the same way that a locomotive). Reason why I posted online that with the current technology “by wire”, and the accurate measurement of the structural elasticity (SEMS), it is impossible that any vehicle (car, bus, or truck) goes out of a curve due high speed.

Until it was withdrawn from the Internet, there was a famous video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeSpwUiDHbE) carried out by the world known BBC car program named Top Gear, where a known German brand car circulated in competition mode and without human intervention, with total precision by the racetrack of the program.

For the best understanding of the application of the SEMS in the high-speed rail transport, next are shown two types of bogies with shock absorbers, pneumatic suspension and primary and secondary spring suspension. In this type of transport and for obvious reasons, the SEMS would be mainly based on its installation on the bogies of the two locomotives. As in any transport structure, for a given speed and load, the structure of each locomotive will have a unique Resultant Elastic Envelope (EE), that could be exact or not among them (in any case it doesn’t mind at all). As explained in the road, sea and air transport, it is obvious that the transport by railway using the SEMS system, would literally become infallible against human error or route output for speeding. In fact and according to statistics, such transport always has been considered (by far) the most safe of all.

It is noteworthy to remark that for each Locomotive EE or for the whole Train EE, there is always a unique and exact Railroad EE (according speed and load). It means that both EE interact between them, so that any variation in one of them is detected by the other; so each locomotive becomes as the best tool or sensor for the scientifically exact monitoring and/or inspection of the railroad, in real time and conditions. This fact will suppose a great saving in maintenance and ecological benefits.

On the other hand, we know that in the market there are inclinometers with the precision according to the table of the two models on the left, where the yellow model stands out for its precision of 0.2 sec. To remember that in the decimal system of measurement: 1º = 60 min = 3.600 sec. This precision will allow us to obtain the exact Railway EE (due both locomotives will give double safety or redundancy in measurements). The elastic variations (EE) of the railway are understood to be constant , so each variations will act as reference points (like "beacons") to know the exact position and speed of the locomotives in real time, without the need of costly beacons whose monitoring and safety escape to the control of the driver.

Also, the Railway EE will allow us to detect in real time any gradual geological discontinuities of the terrain, as well as tunnels or holes in the ground for possible liquation of the land, or any other cause.

As in a car, the double vision cameras (day and night) by image processing will detect and read any route or speed indication. This read indication would be transmitted to the driver via screen warning (sound and light signal), by the SEMS computer together with the onboard security system computer (safety redundancy). The application of this technology already exists in the automotive industry.

For high speed straight paths, it is obvious that high speed trains should have radars with sufficient scope, to detect any obstacles or objects in good time. For aerodynamic reasons the radars would be located inside the locomotive (yellow circle) or outside with aerodynamic covers. As is the case of aircrafts, simple metal beacons detected by radar will work as references to indicate the exact speed and location of the locomotive on the railway.

For these reasons, and considering the application date of the first innovation (January 2004) as test and demonstration of the two New Physical Laws, it is evident that the accident at Santiago's July 24, from every point of view it was inadmissible to happen inside the European Union, whose government and agencies are responsible for the transport safety, as with the maritime and air transport (EMSA and EASA).EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency)EMSA (European Maritime Safety Agency)
