Railroads and American Economic Growth: a " Market Access " Approach *

This paper examines the historical impact of railroads on the American economy. Expansion of the railroad network and decreased trade costs may affect all counties directly or indirectly, an econometric challenge in many empirical settings.

Intelligent negotiation behaviour model for an open railway access market

In an open railway access market, the provisions of railway infrastructures and train services are separated and independent. Negotiations between the track owner and train service providers are thus required for the allocation of the track capacity and the formulation of the services timetables, in which each party, i.e. a stakeholder, exhibits intelligence from the previous negotiation experi...

Strength Analysis and Experiment of High Speed Railway Gearbox Bracket

Light-weighting of high speed railway equipments has become a major trend, which leads the upgrades of equipments. A new C-shaped bracket has been produced to connect the driving gearbox with the bogie. This paper built a three-dimensions model of a C-shaped bracket, got the maximum and distribution of the stress and deformation under two different working conditions form finite element analysi...
