  2. 1. Accident Risk and Environmental Assessment : Development of an Assessment Guideline with Examination in Northern Scandinavia

    Author : Markus Lundkvist; Lennart Strömquist; Christer Jonasson; Rolf Nyberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geography; accident; risk; hazard; environmental assessment; geomorphology; railway; road; avalanche; debris flow; rock fall; slush flow; torrent; moose; reindeer; environmental impact assessment; proposal alternatives; Kiruna; Narvik; Geografi; Other earth sciences; Övrig geovetenskap;

    Abstract : In environmental impact assessment (EIA), accident risk should be considered as one impact. However, few studies have compared assessed risk levels with documented accidents. There is thus a need for assessing accuracy of risk assessment methodologies. READ MORE

  4. 2. Hybrid digital twins: A co-creation of data science and physics

    Author : Antonio Galvez; Diego Galar; Uday Kumar; Dammika Seneviratne; Dimitrios Kyritsis; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hybrid modelling; physics-based model; data-driven model; HVAC system; Railway; Drift och underhållsteknik; Operation and Maintenance;

    Abstract : Safety is more important than reliability or efficiency in railway, aerospace, oil & gas, and chemical industries. Regulations are very restrictive in sectors where safety is paramount. READ MORE

  5. 3. Improving the Dynamic Design Philosophy of High-Speed Railway Bridges Using Reliability-Based Methods

    Author : Reza Allahvirdizadeh; Raid Karoumi; Andreas Andersson; Christoph Adam; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; High-speed railway bridges; Bridge dynamics; Running safety; Passenger comfort; Structural reliability; Surrogate models; Active learning; Reliability-based design optimization; Partial safety calibration; Epistemic uncertainties; Höghastighetsjärnvägsbroar; Brodynamik; Trafiksäkerhet; Passagerarkomfort; Konstruktioners tillförlitlighet; Surrogatmodeller; Aktivt lärande; Tillförlitlighetsbaserad optimering; Kalibrering av partialkoefficienter; Epistemiska osäkerheter; Bro- och stålbyggnad; Structural Engineering and Bridges;

    Abstract : Modern railway infrastructures, especially bridges, are exposed to significant vibrations with potential safety implications. In this context, previous studies have shown the inconsistency and inadequacy of some conventional design methods necessitaing them to be improved. The assessment of safety inherently deals with uncertainties. READ MORE

  6. 4. A new Auxiliary Converter Topology with SiC Components for Railway Applications

    Author : LUYU WANG; Industriell elektroteknik och automation; []
    Keywords : Auxiliary converter; Multilevel converter; ; Silicon Carbide transistors;

    Abstract : Smaller size and lower weight are always the targets of the power electronic product development. This work introduces two new topologies of auxiliary converters which have the feature of fewer components and fewer number of energy conversion stages comparing with the conventional auxiliary converter used in railway applications.

  7. 5. Concrete Bridges : Improved Load Capacity

    Author : Jonny Nilimaa; Terje Kanstad; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : There are many beautiful old structures around the world, some of which were designed for completely different purposes than their current applications. For example, Swedish railway bridges were only designed to carry axle loads up to 200 kN in the beginning of the 20th century, while modern loads can be twice as high. READ MORE
