A turn-back track constraint train scheduling algorithm on a multi-interval rail transit line
With the rapid increase of passenger volume, the interval of some rail transit lines in China has reached a minimum value, which makes turn-back capacity one of the main capacity-limiting factors instead of section headway, particularly during the peak hours on workdays. A general simulation modeling framework and algorithm in which the divide and conquer rule is adopted for train scheduling pr...
متن کاملBack on Track.
About 10 years ago the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) recognized the need for an applied informatics journal for the health sciences. In response to this need, the journal Applied Clinical Informatics (ACI) was launched in 2009 as a companion journal to Methods of Information in Medicine (MIM), both published by Schattauer (since January 1, 2017 part of Thieme), with the i...
متن کاملStrategies for Effective Rail Track Capacity Usage
In the United States, railways are the major means to trans-continentally move goods from ports to the various inland destinations. Due to mergers and abandonment of rail lines, there has been a reduction in the track capacity, concentrating rail traffic to fewer lines. In addition to this, booming trade with Pacific Rim nations has seen the annual trade in the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Bea...
متن کاملKeeping rail on track: preliminary findings on safety culture in Australian rail.
'Safety culture' is identified in the literature as a critical element of healthy and safe workplaces. How can rail organizations ensure that consistently effective work health and safety cultures are maintained across the diversity of their operations? This paper reports on research that is currently underway in the Australian rail industry aimed at producing a Model of Best Practice in Safety...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Rail Bending Behaviour Focusing on the Effect of Track Modulus
Thorough understanding of steel rail response to wheel load is a key step towards design and evaluation of the railway track structure. In current practice, maximum vertical deflection and bending moment are calculated using the theory of infinite beam on continuous elastic foundation (Winkler model), in which the foundation stiffness is assumed as constant. However, variation of track modulus ...
