چکیده
Abstract The paper shows several use cases of the “relative approach” method, envisaged by international recommendations, for evaluating safety two families freight trains. This is relevant when a decision needed about new technology or operating mode trains to keep same as existing discusses heterogeneity database and provides examples classic application approach”, highlighting effect train operation. Furthermore, it DAC radio-controlled Traction Units. Finally, introduces “Iterative Proportional” algorithm generate from an one just changing hauled mass each wagon. helpful applied trainsets having articulated wagons running with similar braking regime.

Intelligent Telemetry for Freight Trains
Within the North American freight railroad industry, there is currently an effort to enable more intelligent telemetry for freight trains. By enabling greater visibility of their rolling stock, including locomotives and railroad cars, railroad companies hope to improve their asset utilization, operational safety, and business profitability. Different communication and sensing technologies are b...
متن کاملNew Ways of Thinking about Freight Data
ITE JOURNAL / DECEMBER 2004 INTRODUCTION The incorporation of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) into goods transport promises to increase productivity, security and efficiency. This feature reviews emerging examples of “passive” data collection efforts in several states. Work remains to transform these opportunities into needs identified by freight planners and researchers. Freight movem...
متن کاملOptimizing the aerodynamic efficiency of intermodal freight trains
We develop an aerodynamic loading assignment model for intermodal freight trains based on an integer-programming framework to help terminal managers make up more fuel-efficient trains. This is the first use of optimization modeling to address the aerodynamics and energy efficiency of railroad intermodal trains. Several recommendations regarding railway equipment use, operations, and policy are ...
متن کاملDerailment Probability Analyses and Modeling of Mainline Freight Trains
We conducted statistical analyses and used modeling techniques to develop derailment probabilities for freight trains and freight cars operating on North American railroads. Knowing the expected frequency of derailment and the conditional probabilities of derailment for individual cars enables estimation of the derailment risk as it is affected by train length, operating speed, and positioning ...
متن کاملTwo ways to condense
Two ways to condense G ene-rich euchromatin and largely untranscribed heterochromatin may follow different rules to prepare for mitosis, according to J. Robert Manak, Joseph Lipsick, and colleagues (Stanford University, Stanford, CA). From S phase to prophase, chromatin must replicate and then condense to prepare for mitosis. In most eukaryotic cells, euchromatin starts the process by replicati...
