作为降低滚动噪声和振动措施之一的弹性车轮(图),已在新干线试验电车上进行了现车试验。结果表明,从轮重、横向力特性、车轮强度、橡胶的温度来看,达到315km/h应无问题。而且轮重变化、轴箱垂直加速度都比普通车轮有大幅度减少。由于使用弹性车轮,在距测定地点(高架 As a reduction of rolling noise and vibration of the elastic wheel (Figure), has been in the Shinkansen tram test carried out on the car. The results show that, from the wheel weight, lateral force characteristics, wheel strength, rubber temperature point of view, to 315km / h should be no problem. And changes in wheel load, axle box vertical acceleration than the average wheel has greatly reduced. Due to the use of elastic wheels, at the measuring point (elevated
