A Framework to Assess Multi-class Continuum Traffic Flow Models

Since the beginning of this millennium many multi-class continuum traffic flow models have been proposed. We present a set of qualitative requirements for this type of models, including nonincreasing density-speed relations and anisotropy. The requirements are cast into a framework that applies a generalised deterministic multi-class kinematic...

Effects of wheelset flexibility on the simulation of vehicle-track interaction at crossings

Though numerical models based on multi-body dynamics (MBD) are often used to simulate the vehicle-track interaction at crossing impact, their relative capabilities and accuracy were not discussed. This paper aims to investigate the influence of wheelset flexibility on the result of crossing impact simulation in the frequency range 0–500 Hz. Two...
