A ballasted railway track system comprises several components among which steel rails, rail fasteners, timber, steel or concrete sleepers, granular ballast, sub-ballast, and subgrade materials are the main parts. Railway track systems are constructed to provide a smooth and safe running surface for passenger or freight trains. They are designed to sustain the force of lateral, longitudinal and ...

Lateral resistance of railway track is one of the most important parameters in lateral stability. This parameter depends!on the conditions of different components of ballasted railway track (such as density of ballast layer, sleeper spacing, type of sleeper, etc.). From this perspective, type of sleeper has an important effect on lateral resistance. However in some conditions, in technical and ...

Track circuit coding can be realized by Train Control Center in Highspeed Railway to keep the train running safe. This paper looks into the track circuit coding method using expert system, in which the reasoning process of track circuit coding was realized using software simulation with the data of Beijing-Shanghai High Speed Railway. Combined with test cases, the joint debugging is realized an...

Safety should be the primary concern when building a railway network. The safety of a railway network typically depends upon the use of track-side signals in regulating the safe passage of trains. Establishing the correctness of the systems that control the track-side signals therefore plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of the railway network. The aim of the assignment is to develop a ...

Active steering system of railway vehicles has proven its ability to bridge the gap between stability and curve friendliness. Generally scaled railway vehicles were developed to reproduce the fundamental dynamic behavior of the full size railway vehicle in laboratory conditions. This paper describes the design of the braking/traction control systems as a part of a 1/5 scaled railway vehicle for...

for dynamic analyses of railway track structures, the algorithm of solution is very important. for estimating the important problems in the railway tracks such as the effects of rail joints, rail supports, rail modeling in the nearness of bridge and other problems, the models of the axially beam model on the elastic foundation can be utilized. for studying the effects of axially beam on the ela...

(Received: November 21, 2013; Accepted: November 29, 2013) The objective of this paper is to control the railway tracks by using anti-collision techniques. The model of railway track controller is designed by using 8952 microcontroller to avoid railway accidents. When we go through the daily newspapers we come across many railway accidents occurring at unmanned railway crossings. This is mainly...

Track Maintenance is crucial for the safe and efficient of railway transportation. After analysis of foreign management techniques for high-speed railway track maintenance, combined with the characteristic of passenger dedicated line in China, this paper has explored new ideas of the information system of passenger dedicated line track maintenance and at the same time researched on the theory a...
