Evaluation method of snow accretion around train bogie using model vehicle running apparatus by Hajime TAKAMI, Yuto ARAKI

“…As a result of investigating the growth process of the snow accretion from the model experiment using image processing and 3D scanning, it is found that the initial snow accretion starts from the under side of the vertical panel downstream of the bogie, especially near the wheels. As the travel distance of the snowed section increased, the snow accretion on the under side of the vertical panel extended over the bogie cavity, and snow accretion also occurred on the top and sides of the vertical panel. …”
