Qualitative and Quantitative Indicators of Railway Stations

Capacity utilisation and performance at railway stations

As traffic levels increase on railways in Britain and elsewhere, improved understanding of the trade-offs between capacity provision/utilisation and service quality is increasingly important, as Infrastructure Managers and Railway Undertakings seek to maximise capacity provision without an unacceptable loss of service reliability and punctuality. This is particularly true of the stations and ju...

Modelling Interlocking Systems for Railway Stations

Improving Customer Proximity to Railway Stations

We consider problems of (new) station placement along (existing) railway tracks, so as to increase the number of users. We prove that, in spite of the NP-hardness for the general version, some interesting cases can be solved exactly by a suitable dynamic programming approach. For variants in which we also take into account existing connections between cities and railway tracks (streets, buses, ...

The Reuse of Historical Railway Stations in Turkey

In this paper, the build and survived railway stations over the time at which first railway lineconstruction started at Turkey until the present had been examined and the ones which were out of use and lost theiroriginal function with time had been determined. Also the determined building stock had been evaluated based onthe principle of giving new function to the old buildings, in especial of ...

Quantitative and qualitative indicators of cone and seed for identification of two Juniper species in Golesan province

Among the Six native species of Juniperus genus in Iran,  J. polycarpos and J. excelsa have highest frequent and geographical distribution on the highlands of the country and play a crucial role in the natural ecosystem of presented area. Due to the similar appearance of mentioned species, it's difficult to identify them in the nature. In this study, quantitative traits indicators of cone and s...
