Circuity, defined as the ratio of the shortest network distance to the Euclidean distance between one origin-destination (O-D) pair, can be adopted as a helpful evaluation method of indirect degrees of train paths. In this paper, the maximum circuity of the paths of operated trains is set to be the threshold value of the circuity of high-speed train paths. For the shortest paths of any node pai...

This paper presents a flow capturing location problem which focuses on railway passenger flows. The flow capturing location problem (FCLP), originally proposed by Hodgson (1990), aims to locate a given number of facilities on a network to maximize the total flow that can obtain service at facilities along their pre-planned routes. For railway users, facilities located at the origin station and ...

Railway passenger comfort has been considered a growingly important field to attract more passengers from other public transports such as air flights. To allow and train companies estimate the onboard level, we propose phone-based hybrid machine learning (ML) model combining pre-train convolutional neural network feature extractor support vector regressor predictor. better demonstrate capacity ...

The passenger economy of the Ukrainian railway in context long-distance and suburban services has been analyzed. basis research is share certain categories (night speed, regional, night express, high-speed express Intercity+ Intercity). Particular attention paid to distance trains over 1000 km within Ukraine. Regional routes are distinguished by length route different economic regions. This con...

A large number of passenger information systems for public passenger transport exist in Europe at national level but their trans-national interoperability is very limited. A passenger information system depends on many underlying heterogeneous information systems; ranging from management of transport infrastructure network, public transport infrastructure objects, public passenger transport ser...

In this paper numerical modeling of fire development in a single compartment railway passenger car has been performed using the FDS software. The simulation was focused on dynamic calculation temperature field and heat release rate. Obtained results were compared with experimental satisfactory agreement detected. It can be concluded that used for simulating different scenarios cars.

This paper addresses the Rolling Stock Balancing Problem (RSBP). This problem arises at a passenger railway operator when the rolling stock has to be re-scheduled due to changing circumstances. These problems arise both in the planning process and during operations. The RSBP has as input a timetable and a rolling stock schedule where the allocation of the rolling stock among the stations does n...

As the world’s highest railway, and the longest highland railway, the Qinghai–Tibet Railway (QTR) has been paid considerable attention by researchers. However, most attention has been paid to the ecological and environmental issues affecting it, and sustainable ecological, social, and economic development-related studies of the QTR are rare. In this study, by analyzing the passenger traffic, fr...
