High-speed railway is a very important part of transportation industry in China, and travel choice has key effect on the development of high-speed railway. Therefore,research on travel behavior of passengers and prediction their travel choice, will offer valuable suggestion for high-speed railway running. In this paper, support vector machine (SVM) is the main method being used to predict. Supp...

In order to assure the uninterrupted power supply of high speed railway, the reliability assessment of traction substation is essential at the design stage. Based on the system reliability engineering theory, a new system reliability analysis method called the GO-FLOW methodology is applied in the reliability assessment of traction substation of high speed railway. Considering failure and dynam...

We present in this contribution the results of the first experiment to monitor land subsidence along JingJin High Speed Railway (JingJin HSR), which connects Beijing city and Tianjin city and is the first high speed railway in China, by using the Permanent Scatterer InSAR (PSI). Since the length of the railway is usually beyond the standard scenes coverage of the ongoing radar satellite, i.e. E...

This article presents a numerical study that aims to explore the dynamic behavior of railway bridges under vibrations induced by heavy-haul traffic. For this purpose, finite element code can conduct moving load and mass analysis single span was developed. The software validated comparing response analytical solution for various speeds. benchmark bridge train showed interplay between natural fre...

Railway Bridge Health Monitoring (RHM) is of prime importance as damages in bridges can lead to huge casualties. Wireless sensor network (WSN) has come up as a promising technology for health monitoring. WSN has severe energy and hardware constraints. In this paper, we propose an event detection system for WSN deployed for RHM. Our proposed system takes different constraints of sensor networks ...

Abstract In recent years, high-speed railways in China have developed very rapidly, and the number span of railway bridges are keeping increasing. Meanwhile, frequent extreme disasters, such as strong winds, earthquakes floods, pose a significant threat to safety train–bridge systems. Therefore, it is paramount importance evaluate comfort trains when crossing bridge under external excitations. ...

China’s railway network is one of the largest railway networks in the world. By the end of 2016, the total length of railway in operation reached 124,000 km and the annual freight volume exceeded 3.3 billion tons. However, the structure of network does not completely match transportation demand, i.e., there still exist a few bottlenecks in the network, which forces some freight flows to travel ...

High-speed railway is playing an important role in mass transportation, due to its lower energy consumption, less environmental pollution, larger capacity and higher safety features. The development of high-speed railway makes people's life more and more convenient. Meanwhile, providing high quality of service broadband communications for fast-moving users still remains unsolved, despite the fa...

In this paper, we review the main concepts and methods to perform capacity analyses, and we present an automated tool that is able to perform several capacity analyses. Capacity is extremely dependent on infrastructure, traffic, and operating parameters. Therefore, an in-depth study of the main factors that influence railway capacity is performed on several Spanish railway infrastructures. The ...

We present design, fabrication, and characterization of a small (12 mm × 12 mm × 8 mm) movable railway vehicle for sensor carrying. The miniature railway vehicle (MRV) was mainly composed of a vibrational structure and three legs. A railway was designed and fabricated to power and guide the MRV. It also transmits the sensed data from the MRV to the signal processing unit. The MRV with legs on t...
