Recent years have seen the rapid change in the situations surrounding electric traction. Wider use of electric traction can be found in other modes of transport, most typically road vehicles. Active developments, such as the realization of faster main line services or more convenient urban railways, can be found in the rail industry as well.
The aim of this lecture is to give students the advanced knowledge on transport systems using electric traction (or propulsion), with the main focus on electric railway systems as a typical example of a large-scale system, by reading a number of research papers in journals, books and proceedings.

Although not a requirement, it is desirable that students who want to register for this lecture series have the knowledge taught in "Transport Systems" lecture for the Year 3 undergraduate students of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering. If you have not taken this lecture, refer to the "Reference materials" section and consider buying the book.

I am planning to prepare materials full of photographs so students can get some visual images of the transport systems across the globe. I would like to welcome the participation of all students interested in any way in transport systems, regardless of the disciplines.
