Can regional railway become emission-free with recently announced vehicles? - A case study of Bavaria

Michel Bierlaire, Nikola Obrenovic

Significant shares of regional passenger railway still rely on pollutive diesel vehicles. Alstom, Bombardier, Siemens, and Stadler have reacted and recently announced Battery Electric and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (BEVs and FCEVs). In this paper, we anal ...

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 ...

Performance evaluation of diesel engines (PEDE) for a diesel-biodiesel fueled CI engine using nano-particles additive

Hossein Pourrahmani

yy Today's researchers have made concerted efforts to benefit from biodiesel and to achieve better combustion due to its higher cetane number in comparison to that of diesel. The major drawback of utilizing biodiesel-diesel blend is the corresponding incre ...

Control of Battery Storage Systems for the Simultaneous Provision of Multiple Services

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Emil Namor

In this paper, we propose a control framework for a battery energy storage system to provide simultaneously multiple services to the electrical grid. The objective is to maximise the battery exploitation from these services in the presence of uncertainty ( ...

Enhancing model-based feedback perimeter control with data-driven online adaptive optimization

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Mohammadreza Saeedmanesh, Anastasios Kouvelas

Most feedback perimeter control approaches that are based on the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) and are tested in detailed network structures restrict inflow from the external boundary of the network. Although such a measure is beneficial for the ne ...

A Collaborative Sensor Fusion Algorithm for Multi-Object Tracking Using a Gaussian Mixture Probability Hypothesis Density Filter

Alcherio Martinoli, Milos Vasic

This paper presents a method for collaborative tracking of multiple vehicles that extends a Gaussian Mixture Probability Hypothesis Density (GM-PHD) filter with a collaborative fusion algorithm. Measurements are preprocessed in a detect-before-track fashio ...
