• Overhead wires free light rail systems 

      Novales, Margarita (Sage, 2011)
      [Abstract:] Light rail systems are experiencing a revival in several countries in the world. Nevertheless, they are facing a more and more demanding market which implies continuous new evolutions and technologies. An ...
    • Residential Location Econometric Choice Modeling With Irregular Zoning: Common Border Spatial Correlation Metric 

      Pérez-López, José-Benito; Novales, Margarita; Varela-García, Francisco-Alberto; Orro, Alfonso (Springer Nature, 2020)
      [Abstract] Residential location choice (RLC) predicts where and how people choose their residential location in the framework of land use–transport interaction models (LUTI). This paper seeks an efficient RLC model in the ...
    • Spatially Correlated Nested Logit Model for Spatial Location Choice 

      Pérez-López, José-Benito; Novales, Margarita; Orro, Alfonso (Elsevier, 2022)
      [Abstract] Residential location choice is a key component of the models for predicting land-use and transport demand in urban planning. In general, it requires to consider correlation between spatial alternatives. The ...
    • The Influence of Economic Barriers and Drivers on Energy Efficiency Investments in Maritime Shipping, From the Perspective of the Principal-Agent Problem 

      Longarela-Ares, Ángeles; Calvo-Silvosa, Anxo; Pérez-López, José-Benito (MDPI, 2020)
      [Abstract] Maritime transport stands out as a strategic sector; the increasing trend in maritime traffic makes it essential to reduce energy consumption and emissions through investment in energy efficiency. However, ...
    • The tram-train: a new public transport system 

      Novales, Margarita; Orro, Alfonso; Bugarín, M. R. (Sage, 2002)
      [Abstract:] In response to the demand for improved mobility in metropolitan areas, the 1990s saw the development in Europe of a new transport system known as the tram-train. This system is based on the use of conventional ...
    • Track geometry for light rail systems 

      Novales, Margarita; Orro, Alfonso; Bugarín, M. R. (Sage, 2010)
      [Abstract:] As it is known, light rail systems are characterized by their running over the streets, with semi-exclusive (or “reserved”) right of way. This fact leads to the necessity of adapting the track geometry to the ...
    • Turf (grass) track for light rail systems 

      Novales, Margarita; Conles Barrera, Emilio José (Sage, 2012)
      [Abstract:] Light rail systems are experiencing a revival in several countries in the world. In many of the new networks, as well as in refurbished ones, turf (grass) tracks are being used as a means to get a reserved right ...
    • Use of a Genetic Algorithm to Optimize Wheel Profile Geometry 

      Novales, Margarita; Orro, Alfonso; Bugarín, M. R. (Institution of Mechanical Engineers ; SAGE, 2007-07-01)
      [Abstract] Wear is a very important subject for Railway Administrations because it entails very important costs. So, it seems to be logical to develop a new methodology for designing wheel profiles in order to improve its ...
