the main design criteria of ballasted railway tracks include rail deflections, rail bending stresses, rail wheel contact stresses, sleeper bending moments and ballast sleeper contact pressures. numerous criteria have been defined for the design of ballasted railway tracks owing to the various mechanical properties of track components and their complex interaction. therefore, railway track desig...

Aiming at a large number construction of high-speed railway and elevated railway passenger station, make a dynamics simulation study on the law of platform vibration characteristics on the situation of high-speed train passing through. First, make a brief introduction on the theory of the interaction of the vehicle-elevated station structure in vertical and transverse directions. Secondly, on t...

Passenger flow forecast is of essential importance to the organization of railway transportation and is one of the most important basics for the decision-making on transportation pattern and train operation planning. Passenger flow of high-speed railway features the quasi-periodic variations in a short time and complex nonlinear fluctuation because of existence of many influencing factors. In t...

We present design, fabrication, and characterization of a small (12 mm × 12 mm × 8 mm) movable railway vehicle for sensor carrying. The miniature railway vehicle (MRV) was mainly composed of a vibrational structure and three legs. A railway was designed and fabricated to power and guide the MRV. It also transmits the sensed data from the MRV to the signal processing unit. The MRV with legs on t...

Recent developments in the field of high speed rail have heightened the need for improving of railway bridges under the passage of high speed trains. However, little attention has been paid to influence of significant parameters playing a key role in dynamic behavior of such bridges. This paper seeks to fill such a gap by carrying out finite element (FE) analysis on an existing railway bridge. ...
