Railway Route Design in Desert Areas

Railway station route searching based on ACA

In the railway station signal system, the route searching algorithm is an important software module to realize the function safety of this system. In the paper, the ant colony algorithm is applied to the railway station route searching. Take the specific station route-the Wangzhai Station route for example to search the shortest route. The ideas of the Wangzhai Station route searching are put f...

Railway Route Optimization System Using Dijkstra Method

Nowadays, the development of „smart cities‟ with a high level of quality of life is becoming a prior challenge to be addressed. In this framework, promoting the model shift towards more reliable, greener and in general more sustainable transportation modes, namely towards a „smart mobility‟ could significantly contribute to achieve this goal. The aim of this paper is to provide users with more ...

Effect of Constructing Canal in Embankments on Sand Flow through Railway Tracks in Desert Regions

Entry of sand dunes into the railway tracks can result in sand deposition on tracks, railway obstruction, derailment, damage to track flexibility, and impairment of electrical signs and rail fleet. It is aimed to investigate the strategies and solutions for reducing sand aggregation on railway tracks (including construction of sand passage canals through embankments and modification of the geom...

Patterns of Pedestrian Movement in London's Railway Terminus Areas

This chapter is an empirical study and statistical analysis of pedestrian movement in London's railway terminus areas. The main question is how the terminus structures as well as their local urban grid structures differently influence pedestrian movement around the station buildings. Its main objective is to examine the effect of urban spatial configuration on movement (the natural movement) in...
