Advanced Materials in Railways to Improve Operational Efficiency

Image
Automakers are now willing to spend millions of dollars to shed unnecessary pounds by replacing metal with composite materials and using lighter weight materials. The ultimate drivers are efficiency and the pressure to meet looming tailpipe pollution regulations of 95g-110g CO2 per kilometre travelled throughout a manufacturer's fleet. A massive task has been and will continue to be in front of us. However, it looks that any polluting industry is now on the verge of following suit, and even established sectors that have shied away from the cutting edge are being compelled to speed up their progress. Materials, metal replacement, and light weighing – all of which have been demonstrated in the automobile industry – have become a priority for forward-thinking rail engineers who are attempting to reduce rolling stock weight while simultaneously improving efficiency.

Almost everyone has heard of the iPhone OS and Android OS phones. Both of these operating systems are famous and have their own style.  Android was developed after iOS, so iOS has more credit than Android. Jobs and Wozniak started Apple in 1976. The Apple product was their first iPhone launched in 2007.   In order to develop mobile applications for iPhones, they developed iPhone OS or iOS. In 2008, Andy Rubin developed Android, which is the operating system for Android phones. With Android, we have hundreds of applications within the Google Play Store, since it is open-source software. It is owned by Google. All or any mobile manufacturing companies can use the Android OS since it is available for them.   iOS vs Android. Pr
