An Approximate Conflict Detection and Resolution Model for Moving-Block Signalling by Enhancing RECIFE-MILP

Conflict detection and resolution models are being developed to support railway traffic management in taking optimised rescheduling decisions in case of disturbances. Existing models mostly concern fixed-block signalling systems, in which minimum train separation distances are determined based on a preset number of blocks representing worst-case...

Response of an Infinite Beam on a Locally Inhomogeneous and Non-linear Winkler Foundation Excited by a Constant Moving Load

Transition radiation is emitted when a source moves along a straight line with constant velocity and acts on or near an inhomogeneous medium [1,2]. Transition radiation occurs, for example, when a train crosses an inhomogeneity in the railway track, such as a transition in foundation stiffness. As the velocity of the trains becomes closer to the...
