(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] The COVID–19 pandemic led to restrictions on activities and mobility in many parts of the world. After the main peak of the crisis, restrictions were gradually removed, returning to a new normal situation. This ...
Use of a Genetic Algorithm to Optimize Wheel Profile Geometry
(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 ...
Increasing Boarding Lost Time at Regular Bus Stops during Rainy Conditions: A Case Study
(University of South Florida, 2021)
[Abstract] Inclement weather conditions affect the behavior of travelers and transportation system operations. Understanding this influence can help improve operational planning schemes for any mode of transport, especially ...
The tram-train: a new public transport system
(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
(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 ...
High speed turnouts’ geometry
(Sage, 2011)
[Abstract:] Turnouts are singular points of the railway track. A series of advances have been added to their design in the last
20 years, in the same way as the other elements that constitute the track structure. These ...
