Ranking methodology to prioritize high-speed railway corridors

A Methodology to Prioritize the Construction Projects of New Railway Infrastructures for Privatization in Railway Networks (Case Study: Iran)

This study aims to develop a novel methodology to prioritize the construction of new railway infrastructures for privatization. The private sector can cooperate to solve the capacity problems of railway networks, by the construction of new infrastructure. The purpose of this study is to answer the basic question that whether the capacity problems of the railway networks can be solved simply by ...

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

Investigating Urban Railway Corridors with Geometric High Resolution Satellite Data

Accurate analyses concerning the ecological value of urban railway sites are required to ensure a sustainable development of inner urban open space. One problem in this context is the great heterogeneity of such areas. New opportunities to investigate heterogeneous urban areas arose with the advent of geometric very high resolution (VHR) satellite data. A bundle of panchromatic and multispectra...

A Reliability Evaluation of High Speed Railway Traction Substation Based on the GO-FLOW Methodology

In order to assure the uninterrupted power supply of high speed railway, the reliability assessment of traction substation is essential at the design stage. Based on the system reliability engineering theory, a new system reliability analysis method called the GO-FLOW methodology is applied in the reliability assessment of traction substation of high speed railway. Considering failure and dynam...
