This paper focuses on obtaining an optimal speed trajectory for a train regarding its energy consumption as well as its travelling time simultaneously. Dynamic model of a train on a predefined track including slopes and tunnels is developed. Considering complexity of analytical optimization method for antithetic objectives, NSGA-II and MOPSO evolutionary algorithms are employed to solve the mul...

Nowadays, the increase in heavy freight rail transport and high-speed train (HST) operations has encouraged scientists to investigate dynamic response of structures under moving load using analytically numerically computational methods. In this study, analyse vibration structure, been modelled as continuous Euler-Bernoulli elastic beam system. The effects some basic parameters such track founda...

In pursuit of optical arbitrary waveform generation (OAWG), line-by-line pulse shapers use dynamic masks that can be modulated at the repetition rate of an input pulse train. The pulse-to-pulse control of the output pulse train with the waveform fidelity provided by line-by-line pulse shaping creates the most arbitrary waveform output possible, OAWG. This thesis studies the theoretical dynamic ...

This paper studies the feasibility of using low-power wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee in high-speed railway scenarios that involve bidirectional land-to-train communication. The presented results have been obtained through experimental tests conducted at the high-speed railway line connecting Madrid to Barcelona. A multiplatform communication system has been in...
