A System Model for Technological Capabilities Assessment in High-speed Train Industries

The purpose of this study is to provide a model with a dynamic system method to investigate the factors affecting the technological capabilities enhancement in the high-tech industries of high-speed train of the rail transportation system. For this purpose, after reviewing the literature and conducting several meetings with experts in the rail transportation industry, a conceptual and qualitati...

Intelligent Train Scheduling on a High-Loaded Railway Network

We present an interactive application to assist planners in adding new trains on a complex railway network. It includes many trains with different characteristics, whose timetables cannot be modified because they are already in circulation. The application builds the timetable for new trains linking the available time slots to trains to be scheduled. A very flexible interface allows the user to...

High-Speed N2-CARS Thermometry

Using an excimer laser-pumped CARS spectrometer, single-pulse temperature measurements have been performed with a repetition rate of up to 80 Hz in a 3-dimensional, phase-matched geometry. Single-pulse temperature data measured in a furnace typically fluctuated by _+ 50 K within the temperature range 300-1300 K. The CARS spectra were analyzed by the G-matrix formalism with inclusion of cross co...
