(NU/1433-1) Z-LIM - Rail Breaking Technology: The Provision of Business Consultancy to Assist Commercialisation of University Research.
What the buyer wrote
Newcastle University has developed an innovative and potentially disruptive technology designed to overcome limitations in existing train braking systems particularly in periods of low adhesion. The technology removes the need for 'defensive driving' strategies resulting in greatly increased capacity in the network. The 'Zero Wheel Slip Linear Induction Motor' (Z-LIM) aims to reduce dependence on friction between wheel and rail for traction and braking forces, with minimal changes to existing rolling stock and infrastructure. This braking solution is based on well-known linear induction motor technology using known technology but it is using it in a novel way. The novelty of the inno…
