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

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...

A model for the coordination between high-speed railway lines and conventional rail lines in a railway passenger transportation corridor

With the construction of high-speed railway lines in China, there are growing concerns about the rational transport cooperation between high-speed railway lines and conventional rail lines. A rational transport cooperation scheme can improve railway capacity utilization, train speed, service and the organization quality of railway transportation. The previous research mainly focused on the aspe...

Dynamic analysis of high speed railway bridge under articulated trains

The problem of vehicle–bridge dynamic interaction system under articulated high speed trains is studied in this paper. A dynamic interaction model of the bridge-articulated train system is established, which is composed of an articulated vehicle element model and a finite element bridge model. The vehicle model is established according to the structure and suspending properties of the articulat...

Dynamic Analysis of Railway Bridges under High Speed Trains

The interest in dynamic behavior of railway bridges has increased in recent years with the introduction of high speed trains. Higher speeds of the trains have resulted in larger and more complicated loads than earlier, producing significant dynamic effects. The dynamic aspects are of special interest and have often shown to be the governing factor in the structural design. Dynamic analysis of r...
