Now a day’s Railway systems plays a key role in transportation in the world. The demands for the trains are increasing drastically. The demand also increases the update of technology day to day. The train journey should be more secure. One of the problems in railway transportation is gate control system. Presently in railways the gate is controlled by manpower. Whenever the train arrives, that ...

Carbon pollution has become a sensitive topic across the globe in recent times. In Australia, incentive has been provided to industry in order to reduce carbon emissions in heavy polluting industries. The railway transportation system is one of the industries expected to reduce the emissions and contribute to a long term reduction strategy, although comparatively rail sector contributes much le...

Today, billions of dollars are being spent annually world wide to develop, manufacture, and operate transportation system such trains, ships, aircraft, and motor vehicles. Around 70 to 90 percent of transportation crashes are, directly or indirectly, the result of human error. In fact, with the development of technology, system reliability has increased dramatically during the past decades, whi...

Transportation systems form the backbone of economy and play an important role in society. Because of the far-reaching effects of disruptions on these systems (social, economic, national defense), they are classified as critical infrastructure systems. Reliability researches on various elements of transportation systems were carried out since the midtwentieth century. The focus was on vehicles ...

In this paper, we develop a freight transportation model for railway network considering hazmat transportation issue. In the transportation system considered, different customers can request for carrying hazmat and non- hazmat boxes. It is assumed that the sequence of the trains in the network is known. The objective is assigning the non-hazmat boxes and hazmat boxes to wagons of the trains so ...

Passenger flow safety detection in high-speed railway transport hub is considered in this paper. For accurately detecting the passenger flow safety, an improved watershed algorithm and a recognition algorithm are respectively proposed in sensor-based detection process. Computational experiments on sensor data from a specific Chinese high-speed railway transport hub show that the proposed algori...

The most important issue in railway systems is to provide safe transportation. Since no error can be tolerated in railway systems it is an obligation to use reliable signalization and interlocking systems which have to decide what to do in unexpected situations like switch disruptions or signal light defects. By the rapid development in railway systems more formal methods are needed for modelin...

recent years have brought a great deal of expansion to the economic systems of developing countries. although they serve as vital link of economic activities, the transportation network of these countries have not grown proportionally. since transportation investments is a a substantial portion of the national budget, a good knowledge of each mode's various characteristics is essential, wh...
