  2. 21. Slab track optimisation considering dynamic train–track interaction

    Author : Emil Aggestam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Modelling; Genetic algorithm; Slab track; Transition zones; Dynamic vehicle–track interaction; Optimisation; Measurement; Ballastless track;

    Abstract : Slab track is a type of railway track that is frequently used e.g. in high-speed applications as an alternative to ballasted track. Slab track is also well suited on bridges and in tunnels since no ballast is required and the cross-section of tunnels can be reduced. READ MORE

  4. 22. On the Directivity of Railway Noise Sources

    Author : Xuetao Zhang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; railway traction noise; railway rolling noise; line source; railway aerodynamic noise; moving source; equivalent source line; De-Dopplerization; sound emission time; sound immission time; directivity; the Doppler factor;

    Abstract : This dissertation deals with the directivity of railway noise. The directivity of railway noise is of particular importance when we have high-rise buildings close to the track, tunnel openings, partial barriers, or when we calculate the maximum sound pressure level during a pass-by based on the sound power level of the different sub-sources of a train.

  5. 23. Railway capacity analysis : Methods for simulation and evaluation of timetables, delays and infrastructure

    Author : Anders Lindfeldt; Bo-Lennart Nelldal; Ullrich Martin; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Järnvägsgruppen - Kapacitet; Järnvägsgruppen - Kapacitet;

    Abstract : In this thesis the symptoms and underlying behaviour of congestion on railways are analysed and discussed. As well as in many other countries, Sweden faces increasing demand for transportation. To meet this new demand, railways play an important role. READ MORE

  6. 24. Dynamic Train-Track Interaction: Linear and Non-Linear Track Models with Property Scatter

    Author : Johan Oscarsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; stochastic track properties; non-linear track properties; dynamic train-track interaction; Latin Hypercube; perturbation technique; full-scale and laboratory measurements;

    Abstract : A numerical method was developed to investigate the vertical dynamic behaviour of a railway track subjected to the loading of a moving train. The numerical simulations are carried out in the time-domain with what is known as a moving mass model. READ MORE

  7. 25. Optimization of track geometry maintenance : a study of track geometry degradation to specify optimal inspection intervals

    Author : Iman Arasteh khouy; Per-Olof Larsson-Kråik; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Drift och underhållsteknik; Operation and Maintenance;

    Abstract : Railway infrastructure is a complex system which comprises different subsystems. Long useful life span is one of the important aspects of this prime mode of transport. The useful life length of its assets is highly dependent on the maintenance and renewal strategy used during its life cycle. READ MORE
