the evaluation and control of the trains induced vibrations needs even more attention in the case of underground tracks which passes near to monuments and historical sites. the rail corrugations which occur due to the wheels’ impulse loads during the operation period of underground railway tracks, usually amplify the ground borne noise and vibration. in the current study, the mentioned phenomen...

The high-speed railway has become an important passenger transport mode. Relying on the abundant experience and expansive network, freight train (HSFT) is feasible to be developed great application potential. As a critical component of HSFT, cargo plays role in overturning safety HSFT under strong wind conditions. Previous studies about aerodynamic performance usually regarded loaded carbody as...

North American freight railroads are expected to experience increasing capacity constraints across their networks. To help plan for this increased traffic, railroads use simulation software to analyze the benefits of capacity expansion projects. Simultaneous operation of heterogeneous traffic further increases delay relative to additional homogenous traffic. Additional passenger trains can caus...

Railway scheduling is a complex task of rail operators that involves the generation of a conflict-free train timetable. This paper presents a discrete-event simulation-based optimization approach for solving the train timetabling problem to minimize total weighted unplanned stop time in a hybrid single and double track railway networks. The designed simulation model is used as a platform for ge...

The paper sums up the factors with passenger’s travel demand, passenger’s need of comfort and the wasted train capacity. On the basis of these factors, this paper provides a new idea to solve high-speed passengers train operation plan problem. First, all the possible train operation plans are listed, and then with the aid of intelligent algorithm those train operation plans which can not be sen...

This paper proposes one new type of speed measurement sensor using difference structure to solve the problem of measurement errors resulted by the vibration of low-speed urban maglev train. By the design of the detection coils and the signal detection circuits, the sensor could fulfills the requirements of rapid and accurate detection. The experiment results show that the speed measurement sens...

CDMA2000 1X capacity was analysed in the high speed train environment. We calculated the power control error by Doppler shift and simulated bit error rate (BER) at the base station. We made the interference model and calculated the BER from lower bound of power control error variance. The reverse link BER was increased by high velocity although there was no coverage reduction. Capacity decrease...

This paper investigates the handover performance on high speed train (HST) via different speed under three scenarios, which are viaduct environment, cutting environment and urban area. To provide stable wireless service, we adopt Long Term Evolution (LTE) for high speed railway (HST) system. Moreover, we consider the effect of speed on handover procedure. Interchannel interference (ICI) caused ...

Both safety and efficiency should be considered in highspeed train following control. The real-time calculation of dynamic safety following distance is used by the following train to understand the quality of its own following behaviour. A new velocity difference control law can help the following train to adjust its own behaviour from a safe and efficient steady-following state to another one ...
