Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on selected research problems of contemporary railways. The first chapter is devoted to the prediction of railways development in the nearest future. The second chapter discusses safety and security problems in general, precisely from the system point of view. In the third chapter, both the general approach and a particular case study of a critical incident with regard to railway safety are presented. In the fourth chapter, the question of railway infrastructure studies is presented, which is devoted to track superstructure. In the fifth chapter, the modern system for the technical condition monitoring of railway tracks is discussed. The compact on-board sensing device is presented. The last chapter focuses on modeling railway vehicle dynamics using numerical simulation, where the dynamical models are exploited.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American public has a fascination with railroad wrecks that goes back a long way. One hundred years ago, staged railroad accidents were popular events. At the Iowa State fair in 1896, 89,000 people paid $20 each, at current prices, to see two trains, throttles wide open, collide with each other. "Head-on Joe" Connolly made a business out of "cornfield meets" holding seventy-three events in thirty-six years. Picture books of train wrecks do good business presumably because a train wreck can guarantee a spectacular destruction of property without the messy loss of life associated with aircraft accidents. A "train wreck" has also entered the popular vocabulary in a most unusual way. When political manoeuvering leads to failure to pass the federal budget, and a shutdown is likely of government services, this is widely called a "train wreck. " In business and team sports, bumbling and lack of coordination leading to a spectacular and public failure to perform is also called "causing a train wreck. " A person or organization who is disorganized may be labelled a "train wreck. " It is therefore not surprising that the public perception of the safety of railroads centers on images of twisted metal and burning tank cars, and a general feeling that these events occur quite often. After a series of railroad accidents, such as occurred in the winter of 1996 or the summer of 1997, there are inevitable calls that government "should do something.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Transportation Safety Board examined nighttime accidents in which highway vehicles strike trains that block grade crossings. There is adequate evidence to suggest that this type of accident is strongly influenced by motorists' inability to perceive the presence of trains in crossings because trains lack conspicuity within their environment. This type of accident results each year in approximately 1,800 collisions with 140 persons killed and 800 injured. The Safety Board reviewed pertinent research undertaken by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) on a known countermeasure--reflectorization. The Safety Board issued recommendations to the FRA to develop and issue an advance notice of proposed rulemaking within 6 months for the improvement of nighttime train car and locomotive visibility at grade crossings to aid in preventing accidents in which motor vehicles run into the sides of trains at night. Additionally, the Board recommended that the FRA cooperate with the Federal Highway Administration, the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and the Association of American Railroads to plan and institute a research program on criteria for the use of reflectorization devices and materials.
