The study of various countries rail transportation indicators is an appropriate criterion for evaluating the existing performance of Iranian railways. The experiences of other countries can be used to improve the efficiency of Iran’s rail transportation. At the beginning of the study, in order to compare the Iranian railway performance with railways of other countries, various efficiency indica...
متن کاملPlans, timetables, and delays: Progress with railway reform in transition economies
This paper analyses the extent and speed of railway reform in transition economies. EU-accession railways, which are financially weak and losing market share to road transport, have advanced on the railway reform path more than cash-flow rich CIS railways, which enjoy a captive market in freight. Reform agendas are ambitious on paper but suffer from implementation delays. The combination of fav...
متن کاملNumerical and Experimental Analysis of Nonlinear Parabolic Springs Employed in Suspension System of freight cars
Nonlinear vibration of parabolic springs employed in suspension system of a freight car has been studied in this paper. First, dynamical behavior of the springs is investigated by using finite element method and the obtained results are then used in vibration analysis of a railway freight car. For this purpose, dynamics of a parabolic spring subjected to a cyclic excitation has been studied ...
متن کاملConcurrent Locomotive Assignment and Freight Train Scheduling
The locomotive assignment and the freight train scheduling are important problems in railway transportation. Freight cars are coupled to form a freight rake. The freight rake becomes a train when a locomotive is coupled to it. The locomotive assignment problem assigns locomotives to a set of freight rakes in a way that, with minimum locomotive deadheading time, rake coupling delay and locomotiv...
