Energy Storage Application Strategy on DC Electric Railroad System using a Novel Railroad Analysis Algorithm

A population-based algorithm for the railroad blocking problem

Railroad blocking problem (RBP) is one of the problems that need an important decision in freight railroads. The objective of solving this problem is to minimize the costs of delivering all commodities by deciding which inter-terminal blocks to build and by specifying the assignment of commodities to these blocks, while observing limits on the number and cumulative volume of the blocks assemble...

Trespassing on the Railroad

Greater than half of all the fatal injuries on United States railroads are sustained by trespassers. The paper provides a statistical analysis of the demographics of trespassers, the activities they were engaged in, and the causes of injury. It also analyzes trends over time. The paper finds that the risks of injury and death are particularly acute for males in their 20s and 30s. The annual cas...

Graph Database Application using Neo4j - Railroad Planner Simulation

Such as relational databases, most graphs databases are OLTP databases (online transaction processing) of generic use and can be used to produce a wide range of solutions. That said, they shine particularly when the solution depends, first, on our understanding of how things are connected. This is more common than one may think. And in many cases it is not only how things are connected but ofte...

Electrical Energy Storage on the Hybrid Grid of Renewable Energy System Using Fuzzy Controller Optimization Algorithm

The main risks of arising from the using fossil fuels can be referred to environmental pollution, the effects of greenhouse gases, climate change and acid rain. For this reason, efficient use of energy in economic development has always been considered as an important goal of sustainable development. In this study, the effects of time-varying electricity prices in the energy storage components ...
