NARROW TRACK SINGLE-POLE TYPE HEAD

Single-Head/Single-Track Detection in Interfering Tracks

Off-track interference (OTI) arises as a result of head misalignment and is likely to become the dominant source of errors in future magnetic storage systems with high track density. In this paper, using a two-track and single-head model for OTI, we compare two different equalization/detection techniques aiming at recovering data from only the main track. One is a conventional approach based on...

Mitigating train-type heterogeneity on a single-track line

North American railroads are experiencing growth in traffic demand and increasingly need to expand capacity on their lines; this will require changes in the mode of operation and infrastructure. Infrastructure expansion requires long lead times and is capital-intensive. Alternatively, some additional capacity may be achieved by alteration of the mode of operation which is often less expensive a...

Single Track Train Scheduling

In this work we consider the Single Track Train Scheduling Problem. The problem consists in scheduling a set of trains from opposite sides along a single track. The track passes intermediate stations and the trains are only allowed to pass each other at those stations. This problem has a close relation to minimizing the makespan in a job shop scheduling problem with two counter routes and no pr...

Single-track circuit codes

Single-track circuit codes are circuit codes with codewords of length n such that all the n tracks which correspond to the n distinct coordinates of the codewords are cyclic shifts of the rst track. These codes simul taneously generalise single-track Gray codes and ordinary circuit codes. They are useful in angular quantisation applications in which error detecting and/or correcting capabilitie...
