Electric Vehicle Aided by PC/104 System Sets Land Speed Record

The Buckeye Bullet is an electric vehicle student project at The Ohio State University's Center for Automotive Research in Columbus, OH. The "Bullet", as the team calls it, became the first electric powered vehicle in the world to exceed 300 mph when it reached a top speed of 308.3 mph on August 16, 2004, during the 56th annual Speed Week at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Subsequently, on October 14th at the end of mile 5, this was raised to 314.9 mph. The 314 mph run qualifies as a new U.S. record in one direction. The vehicle has since achieved speeds as high as 321.8 mph.

Austrian Railway System Uses Diamond Systems Data Acquisition System

The Austrian Railway Authority (ARA) recently built a new high-speed rail system in Pöchlarm, in the southern region of the country. In order to verify the performance of the system, some tests were conducted with the assistance of the German ICE train system. A major concern was the ability of the overhead power lines to withstand the effects of a train passing by at speeds of up to 300Km/hr (186mph), a new speed record for trains in Austria.
