For design, deployment and improvement 5G-R networks, radio scenario classification plays import...

Optimization of Life Cycle Cost (LCC) in railroad maintenance, is one of the main goals of the railways managers. In order to achieve the best balance between safety and operating costs, “on condition” maintenance is more and more used; that is, a maintenance intervention is planned only when and where necessary. Nowadays, the conditions of railways are monitored by means of special diagnostic ...

1872 marked the start of commercial railway operations in Japan, nearly half a century after railways had started in the UK. However, electric railways did not appear until 1890 at an exhibition held in Ueno, 10 years after the start in Europe but only 2 years after Frank J.

This paper explores the arguments, both in favour of and against vertical integration in railways, taking into account liberalisation requirements according to EU-legislation. It draws on industrial economics insight and combines it with illustrations from the German railway business. Since privatisation, next to liberalisation and restructuring, is taken as a central means of strengthening the...

In this paper we describe the successful application of a sophisticated Operations Research model and the corresponding solution techniques for scheduling the 6,500+ drivers and conductors of the Dutch railway operator NS Reizigers (Netherlands Railways). In 2001 the drivers and conductors were very dissatisfied with the structure of their duties, which led to nation wide strikes. However, the ...
