In recent years there has been intensive research and development in the application of wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies to various sectors such as healthcare, home automation, environmental monitoring and the monitoring of large structures, eg, buildings and bridges. The monitoring of railway infrastructure such as the tracks, bearers and sleepers is another area that could potential...

This chapter is an empirical study and statistical analysis of pedestrian movement in London's railway terminus areas.

Italian railway architecture, dated from the last decades of the XIX Century, is characterized by the opposition between conflicting realities, tradition and innovation, that is historicism and modernism. So, it is often at the centre of the architectural debate to find a connotative language for this typology. Railway architecture was born from an almost “independent” culture encoded by manual...

An extended validation of the new Lagrangian particle model MicroSpray version for dense gas simulation is proposed. MicroSpray simulates the dense gas dispersion in situations characterized by the presence of buildings, other obstacles, complex terrain, and possible occurrence of low wind speed conditions. Its performances are compared to a chlorine railway accident (Macdona), to a field exper...

our railway coaches, and all the places where people congregate. Nothing is so cheap as pure air, yet so sparingly is it provided in the great majority of our public buildings and in our dwellings that, in spite of the general warfare against the white plague, this disease continues its widespread devastation. The greatest sins of carelessness and indifference are committed against children in ...

Restructuring of European railway companies has resulted in creating new subjects within railway systems infrastructure managers (IM) on the one hand and railway operators (RO) on the other. In this paper we examine the efficiency and rank different business strategies of railway infrastructure managers using the combined AHP/DEA method. Different strategies include different number of paths al...
