Abstract—The paper deals with possibilities of increase train capacity by using a new type of railway wagon. In the first part is created a mathematical model to calculate the capacity of the train. The model is based on the main limiting parameters of the train maximum number of axles per train, maximum gross weight of train, maximum length of train and number of TEUs per one wagon. In the sec...

The article highlights the issues of effective use shunting locomotives by introducing winches on branch lines railway transport, as well improving technology service for freight forwarders. For this, envisages achieving it optimizing sequence execution several technological processes. Including: time takes one wagon to be occupied entering and exiting tracks, number wagons tracks during interv...

This paper proposes the adaptation of Support Vector Data Description (SVDD) to the multiple kernel case (MK-SVDD), based on SimpleMKL. It also introduces a variant called Slim-MK-SVDD that is able to produce a tighter frontier around the data. For the sake of comparison, the equivalent methods are also developed for One-Class SVM, known to be very similar to SVDD for certain shapes of kernels....

Impact of the satellite data assimilation on the naval undersea capability is investigated using the ocean hydrographic data without and with satellite data assimilation. The former is the Navy’s Global Digital Environmental Model (GDEM) providing the monthly mean; and the latter is the Modular Ocean Data Assimilation System (MODAS) proving the synoptic data. The two environmental datasets are ...

We present a new model for a strategic locomotive scheduling problem arising at the Deutsche Bahn AG. The model is based on a multi-commodity min-cost flow formulation that is also used for public bus scheduling problems. However, several new aspects have to be additionally taken into account, such as cyclic departures of the trains, time windows on starting and arrival times, network-load depe...

Stroboscopic illumination of a rapidly rotating disk with radial spokes leads to a range of different stationary and moving images as the angular rotation frequency of the disk and the strobe frequency are varied. We compare predictions from the standard correlation model of motion perception with a model based on phase locking observed during periodic stimulation of an integrate-and-fire nonli...

The goal of this study is to introduce a new type of evidence to the debate on the nature of what is known in the literature as quantifier spreading (q-spreading), also referred to as the “symmetry error”. Since the work of Inhelder and Piaget (1964), it has been known that until the age of 7–8, children’s responses are frequently different from those of adults when judging the truth-value of s...
