Outage Analysis of Train-to-Train Communication Model over Nakagami-mChannel in High-Speed Railway

ITS-G5 Channel Models for High Speed Train-to-Train Communication

Train-to-train communication will be the key technology for future railway operation. An increase of safety and efficiency can be achieved by exchanging data between trains via ad hoc networks. For vehicle-to-vehicle communication the European standard is intelligent transport systems (ITS-G5). The usage of this standard for railways is hardly investigated. We investigate the performance of ITS...

A System Model for Technological Capabilities Assessment in High-speed Train Industries

The purpose of this study is to provide a model with a dynamic system method to investigate the factors affecting the technological capabilities enhancement in the high-tech industries of high-speed train of the rail transportation system. For this purpose, after reviewing the literature and conducting several meetings with experts in the rail transportation industry, a conceptual and qualitati...

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...

Turbulent Wind Flow over a High Speed Train

Strong cross-winds may overturn trains, so an understanding of the fluid mechanics is important. To facilitate the proper estimation of the probability of a train overturning, accurate data for the aerodynamic rolling moment about the lee rail is essential. (Of course, many other parameters are required.) The flow of a turbulent cross-wind over a train moving across an embankment is complex, an...
