With the development of economy and the progress of science, the proportion of electrified railway load in the power gird has been keeping on increasing, which impacts the short-term forecasting in load a lot, therefore, it is very important to analyze short-term load of electrified railway forecasting. This paper analyzes the power gird load-forecasting considering the influence of the electri...

(Received: November 21, 2013; Accepted: November 29, 2013) The objective of this paper is to control the railway tracks by using anti-collision techniques. The model of railway track controller is designed by using 8952 microcontroller to avoid railway accidents. When we go through the daily newspapers we come across many railway accidents occurring at unmanned railway crossings. This is mainly...

In order to support the market opening across Europe, the European Commission decided to define a common and harmonised approach for managing the railway safety. To take this forward, the EU Legislators have approved in April 2004 the railway safety directive 2004/49/EC. This directive allocates amongst others the task of defining a Common Safety Method (CSM) on risk evaluation and assessment t...

Lateral velocity has very backbone position in the railway vehicle wheelset dynamics as it usually becomes cause of derailment by sliding due to insufficient adhesion ratio. This impropriate balance is pretext owing to contamination and weather procures the disturbances. This perturbation makes hindrances in proper running of wheelset on track. To analyze the noise, Kalman filter is used based ...

The efficient use of infrastructures is a hard requirement for railway companies. Thus, the scheduling of trains should aim toward optimality, which is an NP-hard problem. The paper presents a friendly and flexible computer-based decision support system for railway timetabling. It implements an efficient method, based on meta-heuristic techniques, which provides railway timetables that satisfy ...

The conservation of built cultural heritage is a fundamental task for modern societies. Specialized expertise necessary to define proper strategy preserve that accumulating damage due the deterioration materials, repeated loading, and exceptional events. This paper provides part work developed definition Conservation Management Plan 20th-century building in Africa. monumental building, Beira ra...

In this paper, we review the main concepts and methods to perform capacity analyses, and we present an automated tool that is able to perform several capacity analyses. Capacity is extremely dependent on infrastructure, traffic, and operating parameters. Therefore, an in-depth study of the main factors that influence railway capacity is performed on several Spanish railway infrastructures. The ...

In order to prevent unpleasant incidents, preservation high-speed railway vehicle stability has vital importance. For this purpose, railway vehicle is modeled using a 38-DOF. This paper presents an investigation on limit cycle and bifurcation of high speed railway behavior. It is revealed that the critical hunting speed decreases by increasing the wheel conicity. Also the critical hunting speed...
