About the Book

It is important to continue to update the use of advanced systems by promoting general awareness throughout the management, design, manufacture and operation of railways and other emerging passenger, freight and transit systems. Originating from presentations at the 17th International Conference on Railway Engineering Design and Operation, this volume contains selected research works on the topic. The included papers help to facilitate the use of advanced systems and place a key focus on the applications of computer systems in advanced railway engineering. These research studies will be of interest to all those involved in the development of railways, including managers, consultants, railway engineers, designers of advanced train control systems and computer specialists.

Table of Contents:
Section 1: Advanced train control Autonomous trains in freight transport: Should the railway not have the advantage over the trucks?; Terminology, differences, and challenges of Communications-Based Train Control and European Train Control Systems Section 2: Signalling and train control systems Development of the signal arrangement evaluation system; Enhancement of detection functions of a 3D-Laser-Radar-type obstacle detection system at a level crossing; Choice of sensor fusion framework for train positioning system; Towards mobile and intelligent railway transport: A review of recent ERTMS-related research; Research directions regarding the adoption of formal methods in the railway signaling sector: Determinants and next steps for future-proof railways; Visible light communications based train control Section 3: Timetabling and rescheduling Generation of dispatching solutions in a rolling time horizon framework with the aid of Tabu Search; Transit assignment model for express trains based on inverse optimization Section 4: Safety and security Certification of EGNOS Safety-of-Life service for ERTMS according to IEC 61508 and EN 50129; Developing a generalised assessment framework for railway interventions; Investigation of factors influencing the efficiency of railways in terms of safety at level crossings; Validation of a brake monitoring system using a multi-axle roller-rig; Development and verification test of electrical indicator for 1.5 kV DC feeder in order to visualize energized condition; Accident root causes identification using a taxonomy; Train collision avoidance with mobile devices for sparsely used railway lines Section 5: Modelling and simulation On the distribution of the random arrival time; Optimising acceleration and braking performance profiles of railway vehicles for the robust operation of ultra-high frequency timetables; Integrated view of railroad and port terminals: A study on the Port of Santos, Brazil; New approach for missing consumption reconstruction and validation of energy meter data; Passenger behaviour simulation inside train car combined with train traffic simulation; Long train dynamic simulation by means of a new in-house code; Speed trajectory optimization for a high-speed train; Calculation method of load conditions for performance test of rail fastenings of a floating slab track; Application exploration of B method in the development of safety-critical control systems; Formal software inspections: An industrial application of Function Tables and Event-B to software of a Wayside Train Monitoring system; Traffic flow analysis considering the effects of features of level crossing and road passers; Developing the tram control system based on Simulink/Stateflow and B method Section 6: Intelligent railway systems Development of a route guidance support system for the visually impaired in railway stations; Experimental study on the viability of decentralized railway traffic management; Principles of the NewDimensions software creation for a control centre of the future: Cloud computing and software architecture Section 7: Environmental impact and CO2 reduction Feasibility validation of an eco-sustainable photovoltaic/energy storage system integrated AC two-phase traction power supply system of electrified railway; Impact of driving style on the exhaust emission of a diesel multiple unit Section 8: Railway logistics Data-driven joint optimization of pricing and seat allocation in trains; Modern railways: Connecting train control systems with mobile and satcom telecom networks
