Intelligent Train Scheduling on a High-Loaded Railway Network

We present an interactive application to assist planners in adding new trains on a complex railway network. It includes many trains with different characteristics, whose timetables cannot be modified because they are already in circulation. The application builds the timetable for new trains linking the available time slots to trains to be scheduled. A very flexible interface allows the user to...

Experimental and Numerical Modal Analysis of a Concrete High Speed Train Railway Bridge

Train induced vibrations are a major environmental concern both in Europe and China. Besides the effect of vibrations due to passenger and freight trains and subways at relatively low speed, the study of the vibrational impact of high speed trains is of high interest. In Belgium, for example, new high speed train lines connect Brussels with Paris and London, while extensions to Amsterdam and Co...

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...
