The Channel Tunnel Transport System: Proceedings of the Conference Organized by the Institution of Civil Engineers and Held in London on 4-5 October 1994 by C. Penny
The Channel Tunnel is a major civil engineering feat, which is in effect the host for an equally impressive and complex state-of-the-art transportation system. These proceedings from the conference held in October 1994, address the key strategies and issues specifically related to the design, installation, commissioning, control, operation, and maintenance of the transport system from the national road network into the terminals and through the tunnels. It addresses in particular how the design of the rolling stock, control, communication, ventilation, and power supply systems have developed into reality, and how transportation issues and the maintenance and operation have played such a prominent role in the execution of the project.
