Auto Metro Train Shuttle between Stations

Connecting Base Stations over Metro Gigabit Ethernets

Emerging high-speed metropolitan Ethernets create new opportunities to save costs when converging data and telephony services. However, connecting GSM and UMTS base stations over metropolitan Ethernets require these networks to meet stringent QoS requirements in the presence of bursty data traffic. To investigate this problem, we have probed ETH’s campus network, which spans the metropolitan ar...

Simulation of Metro Train Fire in an Underground Station of Tehran Metro Line 7

In this research a fire scenario was simulated in one of the stations of the line 7 of Tehran's subway system. The Line 7 is under construction and the ventilation system is under design. Fire was set for a stopping metro train at the platform of the station. A 160 meter length eight-car metro train with the forth wagon on the fire was studied. The heat release rate is based on a quadratic f...

Visualisation and Simulation of Pedestrians at Train Stations

Space utilization by humans is an important aspect in building design, especially for buildings with a substantial flow of pedestrians like train stations. We aim at a simulation of pedestrian flows as a visual feedback in the planning phase of buildings. The simulation has to provide feedback for the layout and dimensions of floor space. This includes the general organization of space as well ...

Estimation of Pedestrian Origin-Destination Demand in Train Stations

Smart multimodal interfaces for human-computer interaction on train stations

This paper describes some approaches to processing audio and video signals with support for speech recognition. Speech recognition and lip-reading are currently very popular research topics in the scientific community. They deal with the audio and the video signals and their interactions with each other. The goal of this paper is to show how simple methods can be used for both modalities. Namel...
