A Track Network Data Management System in Support of Rail Corridor Infrastructure Management
نویسنده
چکیده
Typically the track network data model is maintained as an afterthought or with primitive tools or complex procedures. A software tool set to manage unified set functions needed to manage a track network is a sizable, complex and costly endeavor and thus difficult to justify. Bentley Systems, a developer of engineering systems software, has had the opportunity of combining work in the highway and railway industries to focus on this sizeable yet critical undertaking in development of track network data management.

Railways Asset Management model based on a probabilistic Life Cycle Cost Analysis Application to the Portuguese Railway Network
The asset management and Life Cycle Costing (LCC) principals perform a vital role in the reduction and optimization of the costs of an infrastructure manager, providing a better decision support technically and financially. It was intended to create an asset management LCC model to rail track superstructure of the Portuguese rail network assembled with the Iberian gauge. This model is able to r...
متن کاملPARAMETRIC STUDY ON RAILWAY FASTENING SYSTEM RESPONSE SUBJECTED TO DIFFERENT AXLE LOAD
There are several factors causing fastening systems to deteriorate faster than the designed life. The high repetitive loads from a moving train being one of the main factors, track irregularities, design and installation defects of track components, non-uniform rail support stiffness, unevenness in the rail seat deterioration are some of the factors causing fastenings systems to deteriorate fas...
متن کاملSemi-quantitative Risk Assessment of Adjacent Track Accidents on Shared-use Rail Corridors
Safety is a high priority for any rail system, and there are several safety concerns associated with operating passenger and freight trains on shared-use rail corridors. Adjacent track accident (ATA) is one of the most important concerns. ATA refers to train accident scenarios where a derailed equipment intrudes adjacent tracks, causing operation disturbance and potential subsequent train colli...
متن کاملUsing Simulation Modeling to Assess Rail Track Infrastructure in Densely Trafficked Metropolitan Areas
We present a simulation modeling methodology to assess the rail track infrastructure in highly dense traffic areas. We used this model to determine the best trackage configuration to meet future demand in the Los Angeles-Inland Empire Trade Corridor Region. There are three major challenges in modeling a rail network in a densely trafficked metropolitan area. They are: (1) complex trackage confi...
متن کاملComparison of the Economic Profitability of a Conventional Freight-Dedicated Railway Corridor and a Heavy Load Freight Corridor
By using mathematical models, this paper will compare the economic profitability of a heavy load freight corridor (30 t per axle) with a conventional freight-dedicated railway corridor (22.5 t per axle). This comparison concerns the construction and operation of a new, single-track of normal gauge, exclusively for freight traffic, and takes into account various demand values of freight volume (...
