The effectiveness of rapid rail transit system is analyzed using tools of complex network for the first time. We evaluated the effectiveness of the system in Beijing quantitatively from different perspectives, including descriptive statistics analysis, bridging property, centrality property, ability of connecting different part of the system and ability of disease spreading. The results showed ...

Light-rail systems are becoming more popular in cities and urban residential areas around the country. One of the main environmental impacts from light-rail systems is noise from the trains as they pass through residential areas. In response to increasing noise complaints, it is becoming more common to perform noise measurements in the residential areas and attempt to identify noise mitigation ...

To relieve the pressure of government investment and high-cost operation in major infrastructure projects, PPP (Public-Private Partnership) is widely used transportation engineering especially urban rail projects. In this paper, we use Excel Citespace software to categorize research hotspots analyze trend changes visualize cooperation network analysis by searching 217 academic papers core journ...

The design of communications infrastructure, required to support mandated Positive Train Control systems, has not been given prominent attention with regard to and support of large-scale public rail systems in high density areas and heavily used rail corridors. Required Federal deployment timeframes have necessitated fast track strategies for all PTC systems one of which is communications techn...
