About the Book

The papers presented in this volume aim to update the use of advanced systems, promoting their general awareness throughout the management, design, manufacture and operation of railways and other emerging passenger, freight and transit systems. The book particularly emphasizes the use of computer systems in advanced railway engineering.Topics covered include: Communications and signalling; Operations quality; Energy supply and consumption; Monitoring and maintenance; Computer simulations Planning and policy; Operational planning; Safety and security; Rescheduling; Timetable planning.

Table of Contents:
ContentsStochastic model for the real-time train rescheduling; Reducing maintenance costs for ballasted track: evidence from Britain; A long-term analysis of passenger flows on a regional rail line; The effect of railway accessibility on the choice of university studies; Relationship between accessibility improvement and residential property appreciation: an observation from Shanghai Metro; Optimization system of reserved/non-reserved seating plans for improving convenience and revenue of intercity express trains; A software architecture for autonomous maintenance scheduling: scenarios for UK and European rail; Interactive timetabling system with function of estimating train congestion on timetable planned; Maximizing freight traffic by re-routing; Train timetable rescheduling generation based on vehicle type and train route combinations; Intelligent adaptive schedulers for railways; Delays for passenger trains on a regional railway line in Southern Sweden; Increasing robustness of timetables by deliberate operation of trains to shorten headways; Feasibility evaluation and critical factor analysis for subway scheduling; An optimization approach to railway track allocation considering the train-set routings; Evaluation of train schedule by using information theory; Influence of high-speed train power consumption on a novel ground fault identification method for 2 x 25 kV railway power supply systems; Lifecycle vs element costs: a new approach to optimize the power supply system design in railways infrastructures; Increasing railway energy efficiency: a three-level method; Freight train scheduling with minimum energy consumption; Stray current corrosion mitigation, testing and maintenance in DC transit system; Characteristics of corrugation in Shanghai Metro and suggested maintenance threshold for amplitude; Preliminary results and conclusions from the experimental monitoring of thermal regime of railway track structure; An efficient contact model for dynamic interaction analysis of high-speed train and railway structure including derailment during an earthquake; Risk assessment of railroad for the presence of underground cavities based on a statistical approach; A railway simulation suite for modelling advanced railway control systems; LED railway signal vs full compliance with colorimetric specifications; Travelling virtual balise for ETCS; An analytical methodology for extending passenger counts in a metro system; The impact of platform screen doors on rail capacity
