Preface
High speed ground traffic is strongly competitive to air traffic in densely populated areas like Europe or Japan. During the last decades, completely new technologies for high speed railway vehicles were developed. The primarily goals have been to achieve travelling speeds from 250 to 350 km/h and to guarantee safety of the passengers. In Germany these goals were met by the ICE train service starting in 1991.
