Effect of High-Speed Trains on Passenger Travel: Evidence from Korea

Study on Braking Panels in High Speed Trains Using CFD

With speed increasing in high-speed trains, due to limitations of other types of brakes, aerodynamic brake has become an important braking method. In this task to make better use of brake’s panel different configurations are examined and the best panel shape which provides the reasonable drag coefficient is introduced. The results of simulations are carried out with the computational fluid dyna...

Impact of High-Speed Passenger Trains on Freight Train Efficiency in Shared Railway Corridors

The effect of rail travel time on airline fares: first evidence from the Italian passenger market

The empirical evidence shows that travel time is crucial for rail transport to be a competitor to air transport. However, there are no papers testing whether travel time has a direct effect on airline pricing. This paper is a step towards filling this gap. We test and quantify the effect of rail travel time on airline fares, using unique data at flight-level. We find that airlines design pricin...

the present study seeks to determine the effect of explicit instruction of metacognitive strategies on iranian high school students’ reading comprehension ability. it also attempts to investigate the relationship between the learners reading comprehension and metacognitive strategies. furthermore, the study investigates whether iranian efl female high school students are high, medium, or low me...

CFD Simulation of High-speed Trains: Train-induced Wind Conditions on Trackside Installations

Speed is the created air flow as well as slipstream effects as the trains move. These effects can have some level of impact on fuel and energy efficiency  of  the  train,  but  their  other  important  outcome  is  the emergence of turbulent flows at higher speeds which can cause aerodynamic  drag  forces  followed  by  noise  and  vibration.  Thus, slipstream effects have significant importanc...
