Renewal of a fixed railway track using UHPFRC - first use worldwide of UHPFRC in rail track construction, part 1

This two-part article reports on the renewal and adaptation of the fixed railway track in the heavily frequented underground train station at Zurich Airport. The fixed track built in 1980 had reached the service duration predicted by the system provider an ...

Breaking Silos to Guarantee Control Stability with Communication over Ethernet TSN

Amir Aminifar

Editor's notes: The cross-layer approach presented in this article involves co-designing a feedback controller's parameters together with the schedule of an Ethernet network used for communicating state information and control signals.-Samarjit Chakraborty ...

Enhancement of riveted steel bridges by adding a trough in UHPFRC acting in composite action

Eugen Brühwiler

Riveted railway bridges are commonly considered as being “old”, having fatigue damage and are therefore replaced. While this practice should be by now obsolete by using novel engineering methods like structural monitoring, prolongation of the service durat ...

Model-based economic analysis of electrification in railway - Understanding the impact of track, operations, and uncertainties

Michel Bierlaire, Nikola Obrenovic

This paper presents results on the impact of different tracks on the economic viability of track electrification for regional railway. Since regional railway still heavily relies on pollutive diesel propulsion systems, track electrification can be key to r ...

Integrated maintenance model for heavy haul tracks

José João Pires De Oliveira Filho

Due to the accumulation of traffic, the railway components are affected by the induced stresses. As a result, the geometry of the railways is degraded over time. The degradation occurs either through the partial loss of the track's geometry or through the ...

Analysis of Ballast Transport in the Event of Overflowing of the Drainage System on High Speed Lines

Giovanni De Cesare, Tamara Ghilardi, Elena Battisacco, Mona Jafarnejad Chaghooshi

The transport of ballast caused by the overflowing of longitudinal drains is a prime example of the interactions between the railway track and its environment. In such conditions, water flowing from the platform, along with debris, may drag the ballast off ...
