Railway digital radio system, GSM-R, is a dedicated system for railway based on GSM system, which shoulders the demand of dedicated dispatching communication for railway. So it is extremely important to research the data transmission of GSM-R. In this paper, a data transmission method has been proposed, based on the actual measurement report of GSM-R and a prediction algorithm, in analyzing the...

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...

The railway industry offers similar revenue management opportunities to those found in the airline industry. The railway industry caters for the delivery and management of cargo as well as the transport of passengers. Unlike the airline industry, the railway industry has seen relatively little attention to revenue management problems. We provide an overview of the published literature for both ...

Planning new railway infrastructures is a complex process. We present an approach where the formalization of expert knowledge regarding the railway domain is motivated in order to improve the planning process. By applying ontologies as a representation of railway related knowledge we are able to make the coherencies of infrastructural elements explicit. Furthermore the integration of an ontolog...

recognized as a core element of urban development. They play an increasingly important role in alleviating problems such as road congestion and air pollution and new plans for high-speed intercity railway links are being initiated around the world. Progress is also being made on incorporating advanced information systems into stations and other parts of the railway network as a core aspect of t...

This paper presents an overview of recovery models and algorithms for real-time railway disturbance and disruption management. This area is currently an active research area in Operations Research, including real-time timetable rescheduling and real-time rescheduling of the rolling stock and crew duties. These topics are addressed in this paper. Also research dealing with the integration of mor...

Advances in modern machine learning techniques has encouraged interest in the development of vehicle health monitoring (VHM) systems. These techniques are useful for the reduction of maintenance and inspection requirements of railway systems. The performance of rail vehicles running on a track is limited by the lateral instability and track irregularities of a railway wagon. In this study, a fo...

The paper presents data on the occurrence and secondary spreading of rare and threatened vascular plant species in railway habitats of Slovakia. We recorded 17 threatened vascular plant species and other 9 species that we considered to be rare in Slovakia. They grew at railway stations, mainly directly in the rail yard and also at the platforms or other similar facilities. Records of further 39...

In modern railway industry the simulation of the behaviour of railway vehicles has become an important design method during the last years. Modern simulation packages offer modelling elements that are highly adapted for standard and unusual simulation scenarios. A specific application case is the simulation of a railway vehicle travelling through a switch. It makes high demands on the simulatio...
