Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) high-level maintenance planning is a typical discrete system. EMU high-level maintenance (HM) planning determines when to undergo HM or execute transportation task for train-sets, based on practical requirements such as passenger transport demand, workshop maintenance capacity, and maintenance regulations. This research constructs a time-state network that can displ...

In recent years, some sadly famous terrorist attacks that occurred in different countries have put into evidence that railway transportation systems are not suitably protected, and not capable of tolerating and promptly reacting to them. Moreover, it is clear that such mass transportation systems are particularly attractive for terrorists, due to the potentially far-reaching, often “spectacular...

The broad goal of this thesis is to demonstrate the potential positive impacts of applying automatic data to the management and tactical planning of a modern urban railway. Tactical planning is taken here to mean the set of transport-specific analyses and decisions required to manage and improve a railway with time horizons measured in weeks, months, or up to a year and little or no capital inv...

In this paper, a novel network planning process of the Mobile WiMAX for Railway (WiMAX-R) network is proposed. We first analyze the factors need considered in network planning. After introducing the WiMAX-R network architecture, the WiMAX-R network planning process is presented in detail. The process comprises application analysis, capacity prediction, network parameters configuring, coverage p...

On the basis of study of domestic and foreign experts, according to the existing energy structure and present status of transportation industry, comparing and analyzing the energy consumption and low-carbon economy indicators of different modes of transportation, this paper put forward the thinking of constructing low-carbon comprehensive transport system, which takes railway as main and also c...

Recently, social environment rapidly varies and it affects the trend of social infrastructure. Railway transportation which is typical social infrastructure is also affected by this trend. To meet this situation, the railway system needs a capability for gradual and short-term extension. To realize these requirements, an autonomous decentralised software architecture is proposed and its practic...

To satisfy the growing passenger transportation demands and improve the service quality in railway system, a more stable and robust timetable needs to be designed while considering highly utilized capacity. Acyclic timetable is extensively applied in large railway networks. In order to acquire the quality of timetable, analytical timetable stability analysis software PETER (Performance Evaluati...
