Book excerpt: With the arrival of the privatised railway and the nature of railway operation, the delivery of a safe service to the customer got much more complex. In place of the unified nationalised network, more than 100 different companies were now involved in the day-to-day running of the railway network. Each chapter in this book deals with the organisation of the contemporary railway, the principles behind the safe operation of railways, track and signalling, passenger stations, passenger train operation, freight train operation, service provision and planning, safety and much else.

Download or read book Timetable Planning and Information Quality written by Ingo A. Hansen and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book comprises a number of research papers presented at several Computers in Railways Conferences. It has been compiled by Ingo A. Hansen, President of the International Association of Railway Operations Research (IAROR) and comprises selected papers originating from different countries, such as Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland. The papers give an overview of the current state-of-the-art analytical approaches, methods and simulation tools for the modelling and analysis of network timetables, the distribution of train delays and real-time rescheduling of perturbed operations. The topics include e.g. railway capacity estimation according to the UIC norm 406, train punctuality analysis based on standard track occupation and clearance data, and boarding, alighting and distribution of passengers along suburban trains, as well as fast recognition and resolution of conflicts between train movements in case of disturbances by means of real-time speed adaptation, re-ordering or re-routing. The book can serve as an introduction to the theory of railway traffic, timetable design, operations analysis, simulation, safety and control for Master and PhD students from engineering faculties and professionals working in the railway industry.

Download or read book EXCELLENCE IN METRO OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT written by SHARMA, SHARAT and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2022-12-19 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenges in metro operations keep the operations managers on their toes to continually explore innovative ways to resolve the day-to-day issues and keep the organization sustainable. In absence of any precedence, often solutions are tried ab initio. The book presents comprehensive coverage of various operational issues such as running of trains, customer-centric timetabling, management of stations, depot, control center, crew, collection of fare and non-fare revenue, maintenance of assets, human resources management, integrated transport, driverless trains, adoption of AI/ML/IoT, and predictive maintenance. The book is designed for transport professionals engaged in management of urban transportation services. It will also be very useful for students undertaking courses on Urban Transport and Railway Systems. KEY FEATURES • Innovative O&M practices based on real-life experiences—case studies and examples included • Emerging technologies in metro operations such as Driverless Operations, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), and Predictive Maintenance • Excel program to estimate human resources required to operate the metro rail system commensurate with the facilities created • List of data and KPIs required to monitor the performance of a metro rail system TARGET AUDIENCE • Transport Professionals engaged in Metro and Railway Operations and Planning • Students undertaking courses on Urban Transport and Railway Systems
Download or read book Operations research models for scheduling railway infrastructure maintenance written by Gabriella Budai-Balke and published by Rozenberg Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis can be divided into two parts. In Part I we are dealing with the problem of finding optimal time intervals for carrying out routine maintenance works and large projects in such a way that the track possession costs and maintenance costs are minimized. In Part II of this thesis we focus on rescheduling of the rolling stock in the passenger railways due to changing circumstances and more precisely on the Rolling Stock Rebalancing Problem (RSRP). The main objectives of this thesis are formulated as follows: 1. Review the existing literature on maintenance planning in relation with production. 2. Identify some tactical and operational railway infrastructure maintenance planning problems and develop operations research models for providing decision support. Investigate the effect of planning railway infrastructure maintenance on the train operation and identify rolling stock planning problems that occur during planned infrastructure maintenance. 3. Analyze the considered models, investigate their computational complexity, propose solution methods and test the solutions of the models.

Download or read book Project Risk and Opportunity Management written by Agnar Johansen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-29 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective risk and opportunity management is key to the successful delivery of any major engineering and construction project. This book looks at how all those involved can manage risk and capitalise on the opportunities that uncertainty present. The authors of this book highlight that uncertainties should be managed rather than avoided. This book will look at simple projects with a small team, to megaprojects where some hundreds of people are involved, and the consequences of delays or unforeseen costs. However, while the obvious risks can be planned for, the authors argue that it is often the opportunities in these situations that can have unexploited potential. This book is about opportunity management seen from the owner’s perspective. It will be an invaluable resource for those studying Engineering both undergraduate and postgraduate and set out ways in which projects should be managed from planning to completion. This book is also a great tool for those working in project management and the construction industry. While there are many books that demonstrate effective construction management, this book is the first of its kind to emphasise that there is opportunity in uncertainty, and possibility in the unexpected.

Download or read book High Speed Rail Planning Policy and Engineering Volume I written by Terry L. Koglin and published by Momentum Press. This book was released on 2016-02-08 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High Speed Rail Planning, Policy and Engineering looks at the question of where a high-speed passenger rail line would be most productive and how it could be profitable. It investigates the political issues confronting high-speed rail funding and location. This first volume looks at recent achievements in high-speed rail, including record high speeds for trains operating with steel wheels on steel rail. It also covers the history of high-speed rail operations, particularly in the United States. The book examines possible existing routes for development of high-speed rail systems, how right-of-way and terminals might be configured, and the possibilities of track structure. This volume also reviews operating parameters, including the relationship between cost and speed, the issue of security in all aspects as relates to high-speed rail, and different types of high-speed rail systems are evaluated, including true purpose-built high-speed systems, hybrid systems, and what are called blended systems.
