Advanced decision support for rail traffic control is significant enhancing the safety and quality of railway transport service. Data-driven methods have shown powerful learning ability wide extensibility prediction, classification, decision-making problems. In this paper, we propose a hybrid prediction model based on deep forest (DF) ensemble to analyze two common actions, i.e., changing dwell...

With the introduction of industrial internet, Internet Things, and big data technology, interconnection degree control cloud network is getting higher higher, interface needs to be gradually standardized, there are more open components. Data-based attacks will continue emerge. The real-time reliability access essential for trust value updating between participants. This paper proposes a fine-gr...

Broken rails are the leading cause of major accidents on U.S. railroads and frequently cause delays. A multivariate statistical model was developed to improve the prediction of broken-rail incidences (i.e., service failures).Improving the prediction of conditions that cause broken rails can assist railroads in allocating inspection, detection, and preventive resources more efficiently, to enhan...

Delays and disruptions reduce the reliability and stability of the rail operations. Railway traffic rescheduling includes ways to manage the operations during and after the occurrences of such disturbances. In this study, we consider the simultaneous presence of large disruptions (temporary full or partial blockage of tracks) as well as stochastic variation of operations, as a source of disturb...

Smooth cross-border rail traffic is of important interest to commercial realizations of ETCS. Starting from the hypothesis that the traditional way of developing software for safety-critical systems might be an obstacle to standardizing rail traffic, the ITEA 2 project openETCS has set out to pursue the idea of transferring an open-source development style to this domain, taking the EVC as a ta...

In this paper we investigate the effect of the Delhi Metro, an intra-city mass rail transit system, on air pollution within Delhi. To identify effects on pollution, we exploit the discontinuous jumps in metro ridership, each time the network is extended. Our identifying assumption is that in the absence of the extension there would be a smooth transition in pollution levels. We find strong evid...

The investigation showed that the increasing number of deaths and fatalities resulting from driving accidents is mostly related to developing countries especially with intermediate and low social classes which it is resulting from industrialization of the mentioned societies without considering necessary infra structures such as health, safety and environment (HSE). Increasing number of cars, u...
