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...

Vibration isolation analysis of elastic bearing based on train-track-bridge coupled vibration model

ABSTRCT: Elastic bearings have been used on simply supported bridges on high-speed railway in Taiwan to isolate train-induced vibration. However, their influence on dynamic behavior of the vehicle and bridge has not been fully investigated, and their vibration attenuation has not been quantificationally discussed. In this study, spring-damper elements with 12 degrees of freedom are established ...

On Train Track Splitting Sequences

We present a structure theorem for the subsurface projections of train track splitting sequences. For the proof we introduce induced tracks, efficient position, and wide curves. As a consequence of the structure theorem we prove that train track sliding and splitting sequences give quasi-geodesics in the train track graph; this generalizes a result of Hamenstädt [Invent. Math.].

Half-cycle-pulse-train induced state redistribution of Rydberg atoms

Population transfer between low-lying Rydberg states independent of the initial state is realized using a train of half-cycle pulses with pulse durations much shorter than the classical orbital period. We demonstrate experimentally the population transfer from initial states around n = 50 with 10% of the population de-excited down to n < 40 as well as up to the continuum. This is a demonstratio...
