  2. 1. Rail Tunnel Evacuation

    Author : Karl Fridolf; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; smoke; walking speed; flow rate of people; experiment; train; tunnel; metro; underground rail transportation system; evacuation; Human behavior in fire;

    Abstract : In this thesis, human behavior in rail tunnel fires is explored. Descriptive knowledge is presented related to the evacuation of passenger trains, and the subsequent tunnel evacuation to a safe location. READ MORE

  4. 2. Measuring and Modelling PM Levels on Underground Platforms

    Author : Minghui Tu; Ulf Olofsson; Teresa Moreno; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Airborne particles; railway; underground platform; particle concentration; effect factor; Luftburna partiklar; järnväg; underjordisk plattform; partikelkoncentration; effektfaktor; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : Urban railways have become an essential part of the transportation network of cities due to their convenience and high capacity. To make full use of urban space, many urban railway platforms are built underground. READ MORE

  5. 3. Electromagnetic Interference in Distributed Outdoor Electrical Systems, with an Emphasis on Lightning Interaction with Electrified Railway Network

    Author : Nelson Theethayi; Rajeev Thottappillil; Farhad Rachidi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical engineering; Electromagnetic Compatibility EMC ; Lightning; Lightning Protection; Transmission Lines; Electromagnetic Wave Propagation; Underground Cables; Grounding; Electromagnetic Transients; Electromagnetic Interference; Shielding Effectiveness; Railway Systems; Elektroteknik; elektronik och fotonik; Electrical engineering; electronics and photonics; Elektroteknik; elektronik och fotonik;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems of distributed electrical networks, especially that caused by lightning to electrified railway. Lightning transients were found to damage important devices that control train movements, causing traffic stoppage and delays. READ MORE

  6. 4. Joint inversion and integration of multiple geophysical data for improved models of near-surface structures

    Author : Shunguo Wang; Alireza Malehmir; Mehrdad Bastani; Thomas Kalscheuer; Mark Everett; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; joint inversion; ERT; RMT; CSRMT; boat-towed; tomography; Geofysik med inriktning mot fasta jordens fysik; Geophysics with specialization in Solid Earth Physics;

    Abstract : Geophysical methods are non-invasive and allow an effective way of understanding subsurface structures and their physical properties. One of the main challenges is the often non-uniqueness of the geophysical models and that several different models can explain a dataset to an agreeable fit. READ MORE

  7. 5. A ground-borne noise prediction model for railway traffic in tunnels in bedrock

    Author : Fatemeh Dashti; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Railway tunnel induced vibration; Ground-borne noise and vibration; Wave propagation in bedrock; Prediction of noise.;

    Abstract : Human life has become more manageable by the expansion of railway lines. However, despite providing convenience, railways increase noise and vibration in residential areas. Vibrations and noise generated by railways may harm human health, cause cosmetic damage and have an adverse impact on the environment. READ MORE
