As railroad bridge is one of the most important infrastructures of railway, the safety of bridge has a direct effect on railway operation efficiency and safety. In this paper, we propose a distributed railway bridge monitoring platform based on the Internet of Things (IOT) to monitoring the state of bridge safety. We made detailed research on the sensor nodes deployment, sensing data updating a...

The problem of vehicle–bridge dynamic interaction system under articulated high speed trains is studied in this paper. A dynamic interaction model of the bridge-articulated train system is established, which is composed of an articulated vehicle element model and a finite element bridge model. The vehicle model is established according to the structure and suspending properties of the articulat...

The track–bridge interaction is a fundamental concern in the field of railway engineering, which plays an important role optimization design bridges, especially for heavy-haul and high-speed bridges. This paper systematically introduces research status CWR large-span bridges China. evolution process model from simplest elastic bar linear longitudinal resistance to complex beam–rail considering ...

in this research, the structural behavior of timber and concrete sleepers in a standard railway turnout is evaluated, in the case of raising speed. in approaching this evaluation, current practices in the structural analysis of sleepers are surveyed and then, the sensitivity analysis with abaqus software is made based on selected criteria (bending and shear stresses as well as contact pressure)...

This paper deals with the analysis of advanced fade countermeasures for supporting DVB-S2 reception by mobile terminals mounted on high-speed trains. Recent market studies indicate this as a potential profitable market for satellite communications, provided that integration with wireless terrestrial networks can be implemented to bridge the satellite connectivity inside railway tunnels and larg...

Laying ballastless track on railway bridges has the advantages of reducing the train noise problem, improving passenger comfort, and reducing track maintenance costs. Therefore, railway bridges with ballastless track have gradually turned into a major trend in railway systems all over the world. In Taiwan, railway bridges with ballastless track have been in use for many years, with ballastless ...
