• High speed turnouts’ geometry 

      Bugarín, M. R.; Orro, Alfonso; Novales, Margarita (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 ...
    • Impact on City Bus Transit Services of the COVID–19 Lockdown and Return to the New Normal: the Case of A Coruña (Spain) 

      Orro, Alfonso; Novales, Margarita; Monteagudo, Ángel; Pérez-López, José-Benito; Bugarín, M. R. (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 ...
    • Increasing Boarding Lost Time at Regular Bus Stops during Rainy Conditions: A Case Study 

      Novales, Margarita; Orro, Alfonso; Pérez-López, José-Benito; Feal García, Jorge; Bugarín, M. R. (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 

      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 ...
    • 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 ...
