Railway Disaster Prevention and Snow Survey Design Optimization Technology

Railway Disaster Prevention and Snow Survey Design Optimization Technology

Snow disasters cause immeasurable losses to human society each year, threatening people’s lives and properties and therefore attaching much importance to the measurement of snow cover. Snowfall, however, is one of the most difficult to be measured among meteorological elements, especially on the railways. To solve this problem, the real-time monitoring of snow along the railway can be helpful. ...

Optimization in railway scheduling

Train scheduling has been a significant issue in the railway industry. Over the last few years, numerous approaches and tools have been developed to aid in the management of railway infrastructure. In this paper, we describe some techniques, which was developed in a project in collaboration with the Spanish Railway Infractructure Manager (ADIF). We formulate train scheduling as constraint optim...

Design of IoT Platform Based Smart Disaster Prevention Systems

This paper is aimed to propose SmartSDP, which is an IoT based disaster prevention type platform intended for installation and operation of a smart sterilization central control system. Core technologies for this platform are ‘disaster sign detection and analyses’, ‘damage prediction and forecast models’, and ‘disaster information delivery system’ and a summary of differentiations from other di...

Flows in railway optimization

The Netherlands has an intricate network of railway tracks to connect its many closely situated cities. Recently, the railroad timetable has been completely updated. Unlike the yearly manual adjustments of the past, this update was done using mathematical techniques. For the Dutch public, this was a rare opportunity to come into contact with mathematics. The research that resulted in the new ti...
