Download or read book Energy Efficient Train Operation written by Shuai Su and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is closely related to the energy conservation problem of rail transport systems, focusing on reducing the energy consumption of train operation. The system process of train operation is analyzed and the relationship between train operation and energy consumption is introduced. The fundamental theories, modelling and application of technologies for energy-efficient train driving are presented, discussing timely topics such as energy-efficient train control and timetabling, integrated timetabling and regenerative braking, and maximizing regenerated energy usage with energy storage systems. In addition, the modelling and application of a traction power simulation platform is introduced, to calculate the detailed energy flow over a railway network. The book is enriched with a set of practical examples to illustrate the performance of the proposed methods in improving energy efficiency of both urban and long-distance trains. Overall, the book provides a timely guide to professionals in the railway industry, and to researchers and graduate students in transport, electrical and control engineering.

Download or read book Reliability and Safety in Railway written by Xavier Perpinya and published by IntechOpen. This book was released on 2012-03-30 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In railway applications, performance studies are fundamental to increase the lifetime of railway systems. One of their main goals is verifying whether their working conditions are reliable and safety. This task not only takes into account the analysis of the whole traction chain, but also requires ensuring that the railway infrastructure is properly working. Therefore, several tests for detecting any dysfunctions on their proper operation have been developed. This book covers this topic, introducing the reader to railway traction fundamentals, providing some ideas on safety and reliability issues, and experimental approaches to detect any of these dysfunctions. The objective of the book is to serve as a valuable reference for students, educators, scientists, faculty members, researchers, and engineers.

Download or read book Train Operation in Emergencies written by Limin Jia and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-10 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest findings on train operation theories and methods in the context of emergencies. It examines and assesses a range of aspects—including the definition of a railway emergency, transport organization modes in emergencies, calculating railway transport capacity in emergencies, line planning in emergencies, train re-pathing in emergencies and train re-scheduling in emergencies—that are urgently needed in the railway transportation field, which faces the serious challenge of dealing with emergencies worldwide. The book highlights the latest research results in an integrated and systematic way, and the methodology presented is oriented on real-world problems, allowing it to be used not only directly in railway operational management, but also as the point of departure for further applications or theoretical research. As such, the book will be of considerable interest to graduate students and researchers in the field of traffic and transportation engineering.>
Download or read book Evaluation of Rail Technology written by Anjum Naweed and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid advancements in train control and in-cab technologies provide significant opportunities for rail operators to improve efficiency and enhance their operations. New technologies often provide elegant solutions to existing problems or new capabilities for the operator. However, new technologies may also represent a significant form of risk. Thus, it is important to balance the potential for significant improvement with justifiable concern about how the technology may unpredictably change the nature of the work. If a technology is designed and implemented without considering the substantive human factors concerns, that technology may lead to unintended consequences that can introduce safety issues and disrupt network performance. It is important to note that even a well-designed and beneficial technology may be rejected by the users who see it as a threat to their jobs, status or working conditions. This book discusses the issues surrounding rail technology and introduces a ’toolkit’ of human factors evaluation methods. The toolkit provides a practical and operationally focused set of methods that can be used by managers considering investing in technology, staff charged with implementing a technology, and consultants engaged to assist with the design and evaluation process. This toolkit can help to ensure that new rail technologies are thoughtfully designed, effectively implemented, and well received by users so that the significant investment associated with developing rail technologies is not wasted.
Download or read book MBTA Green Line 3 car Train Operating Plans to Enhance Capacity and Reliability written by Alexandra A. Malikova and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transit agencies face a variety of challenges, from increasing ridership to changes in infrastructure, to system expansions, all of which require significant preparation to accommodate the changes without affecting passengers or the agency negatively. The MBTA Green Line, a Boston light rail system serving nearly 230,000 average weekday passengers, will be undergoing major changes in the next two decades, including nearly doubling of ridership and system expansion. In order to prepare for these changes, measures need to be taken to increase capacity and plan for operations on the new segment. Starting in Fall 2010, the MBTA added to a 2-car train operation, and subsequently increased, a number of 3-car trains on three of the four Green Line branches, in order to begin to address the capacity issue. This thesis analyzes service performance before and after implementation of 3-car trains to find that although scheduled capacity increased slightly, the actual capacity of the system remained constant during the morning peak period and decreased during the evening peak period. Furthermore, there were some negative impacts with respect to passenger waiting time and running times, thus worsening the overall passenger experience. However, since 3-car trains will be required for increasing capacity on the Green Line, it is recommended that trials of 3-car trains continue, with the restriction that only 2- or 3-car trains operate on a branch. Furthermore, field observations at terminal stations on two of the branches show differences in operations management practices, which help explain some variability in service along the route, and point to strategies to improve service reliability.
