Carbon Emissions Analysis of Rail Resurfacing Work: A Case Study, Practical Guideline, and Systems Thinking Approach
Carbon pollution has become a sensitive topic across the globe in recent times. In Australia, incentive has been provided to industry in order to reduce carbon emissions in heavy polluting industries. The railway transportation system is one of the industries expected to reduce the emissions and contribute to a long term reduction strategy, although comparatively rail sector contributes much le...
متن کاملGenetic and memetic algorithms for scheduling railway maintenance activities
Nowadays railway companies are confronted with high infrastructure maintenance costs. Therefore good strategies are needed to carry out these maintenance activities in a most cost effective way. In this paper we solve the preventive maintenance scheduling problem (PMSP) using genetic algorithms, memetic algorithms and a two-phase heuristic based on opportunities. The aim of the PMSP is to sched...
متن کاملHarvesting Energy from CO2 Emissions
When two fluids with different compositions are mixed, mixing energy is released. This holds true for both liquids and gases, though in the case of gases, no technology is yet available to harvest this energy source. Mixing the CO2 in combustion gases with air represents a source of energy with a total annual worldwide capacity of 1570 TWh. To harvest the mixing energy from CO2-containing gas e...
متن کاملPunctuality and Railway Maintenance
The iron ore railway in northern Scandinavia is a single track line that stretches from the Gulf of Bothnia to the Norwegian Sea. Mixed traffic on a single-track railway makes the traffic sensitive and prone to disturbances. To improve punctuality and efficiency in the traffic flow, the link between disturbances and their impacts on train delays needs to be analysed and understood more precisel...
