Analysis of Tilting Train Installation and Installation Test for ATP(Automatic Train Protection) On-board Equipment

Pantograph Dynamics and Control of Tilting Train

The modeling methodology of tilting train is studied. The vehicle and pantograph are considered as nonlinear multiple rigid body systems, and the catenary is modeled by FEM method. The electrical mechanical actuators for carbody and pantograph tilting control are also considered in the tilting train model. The method of on-line curving detection, filtering and control is adopted for the tilting...

Automatic train control with on-board computers

Since 1981, the Automatic Train Control (ATC) devices have been used to maintain a safe distance between trains on the Yamanote and Keihin-Tohoku lines in Tokyo. Although shorter train headways have been desired for years to increase the line capacities, this has been impossible with the conventional ATC. The authors have developed a new ATC system, the Digital ATC system, to replace the conven...

Analysis of Key Installation Protection using Computerized Red Teaming

This paper describes the use of genetic algorithms (GAs) for computerized red teaming applications, to explore options for military plans in specific scenarios. A tool called Optimized Red Teaming (ORT) is developed and we illustrate how it may be utilized to assist the red teaming process in security organizations, such as military forces. The developed technique incorporates a genetic algorit...

Leapfrog Technology to Standardize Equipment and System Installation

Optimal Installation of Several Related Equipment with Conversion Possibility

The problem in which a firm has to meet the c.emand for the services of several distinct but related equipment over a planning horizon is considered. An equipment of one type can be converted into an equipment of the other type at some costs. Hence demands may be met by direct capacity installation (expansion) or by converSiLQn from another type of eqUl.pment. Capacity installation and conversi...
