Italian term

velocità di fiancata

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping Specifications
Does anyone know the specific translation into English of this very specific railway speed.
Here is the sentence where this term is found in my text,
"Velocità massima del veicolo (laddove la norma prevede la *velocità di fiancata* a 140 km/h), in condizioni di pieno carico, HVAC spenti e frenatura dinamica"
I've found it in a set of specifications as "Si definisce velocità di fiancata, la velocità massima con la quale un veicolo può
percorrere un certo tratto di linea."

I'll keep looking, but if someone does know, PLMK. Thanks in Advance.

Yes Speed limit.

Line speed I did some more research and came up with the answer in uk English: Line Speed meaning the maximum speed permissible on a specific line. Thanks for your help. I'm going to close the question.

fastest rail vehicle

"Determination of the fastest rail vehicle in the world varies depending on the definition of "rail". The French TGV (Train a Grande Vitesse) is the fastest conventional train in the world, using powered metal wheels riding on metal rails. In April 2007, the TGV broke its own 1990 record with a new speed of 574.8 km/h (357.18 mph) under test conditions with a shortened train (two power cars and three passenger cars) and larger wheels to reduce angular speed in the motors. - http://www.trha.ca/2009/09/steam-driven-vehicle-speed-record...

neutral philgoddard : This bears almost no resemblance to the Italian. The word "speed" has to be in there somewhere.

speed limit

I must admit I don't fully understand the use of "fiancata", explained in brackets below, but it's clearly the speed limit for each section of track and type of train.

Per ogni singola tratta vengono determinate quattro velocità massime, comunemente denominate velocità di fiancata (la fiancata è la ribaltina dei fascicoli orario) che i treni devono rispettare in funzione del rango di appartenenza.

This is also confirmed by a previous Italian to French question.
