Rail2X: Demonstration of Vehicle2X Technologies for Rail-Related Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transportation vehicles are more and more communicating with their system environment. In the Road Transport Domain the Vehicle2Vehicle communication standard is developed and components are commercially available. Those technologies are suitable to be used for road-rail interactive uses cases (e.g. level crossings) as well as for pure railway use cases (e.g. information at platforms). To show this potential a demonstration has been done at a level crossing in the area of the dock railway in Braunschweig, Germany. This contribution presents the approach, the demonstration and some results.

متن کاملOptimizing Ultrasonic Rail Defect Inspection to Improve Transportation Safety and Efficiency
Preventing broken-rail-caused derailments is a high priority for the rail industry and government. The current practice is to periodically inspect rails using non-destructive technologies such as ultrasonic rail inspection. Determining the optimal inspection frequency is a critical decision in railway infrastructure management. The objective of this paper is to develop an analytical framework t...
متن کاملIdentification and Evaluation of Human Errors in Locomotive Maneuvers Using the SHERPA Technique: A Case Study in a Rail Operation Repair and Development Project
Background and Aims: despite complex technologies in many work environments, human errors are of great importance due to leading to severe and catastrophic accidents. Therefore, in order to prevent and limit the consequences of human error, it seems necessary to identify and find the causes of them. The aim of this study was to identify and evaluate the human errors of locomotive maneuvers in t...
متن کاملThrshold Radius for Restraining Rail
This paper deals with the threshold radius that warrants the use of single restraining rail for transit and railroads. Different railways use different threshold radius from 91m to 365m to provide restraining rail. These threshold figures are probably experience driven choices. The need for restraining rail may be related to a so-called derailment alarm coefficient of 1.2 sustained over 2m leng...
