Measurement of Noise within Passenger Trains on a Costal Railway Line

Impact of High-Speed Passenger Trains on Freight Train Efficiency in Shared Railway Corridors

Passenger Interface Systems in Modern Railway Application: A Dedicated Passenger Information System for Istanbul Tramway

After 1860’s the railway systems has started to be used in urban transportation in the world. However, especially after the 1950’s, automobile usage has been increased quickly. Thus the dense of transportation has started to move from railway systems to the ones with rubber tire vehicles in Istanbul. Traffic density in urban transportation has started to be experienced since 1950 with the incre...

Marginal cost of railway infrastructure wear and tear for freight and passenger trains in Sweden

We analyse maintenance cost data for Swedish railway infrastructure in relation to traffic volumes and network characteristics, and separate the cost impact from passenger and freight trains. Lines with mixed passenger and freight traffic, and dedicated freight lines are analysed separately using both log-linear and BoxCox regression models. We find that for mixed lines, the Box-Cox specificati...

Railway Passenger Service Timetable Design

The aim of this paper is to analyze and to improve the current planning process of the passenger railway service. At first, the state-of-the-art in research is presented. Given the recent changes in legislature allowing competitors to enter the railway industry in Europe, also known as liberalization of railways, the current way of planning does not reflect the situation anymore. The original p...

Distributed Hierarchical Control for Railway Passenger-Dedicated Line Intelligent Transportation System Based on Multi-Agent

Through detailed analysis of control problem of railway passengerdedicated line intelligent transportation system, a distributed hierarchical control method was proposed by blending the factitious division of hierarchical system and the natural division of distributed control system. This method is based on the hierarchical control theory of large scale system, and includes three levels: the or...
