Emergency Power Sharing by Using a Self‐Traction System in a Mass Rapid Transit Railway
IET Energy Systems Integration, Volume 8, Issue 1, January/December 2026.ABSTRACT Systemwide traction power outages in mass rapid transit systems (MRTSs) can cause trains to stop between stations, leading to service disruption and urgent passenger evacuation requirements. Onboard emergency self‐traction systems (ESTSs) can mitigate this risk by enabling a stranded train to reach the nearest station at low speed.

Influence of Embankments with Parapets on the Cross-Wind Turbulence Intensity at the Contact Wire of Railway Overheads [PDF]
, 2010 Winds as an environmental factor can cause significant difficulties for the railway system operation. The railway overhead has been particularly vulnerable to cross-winds related problems, such as development of undamped oscillations due to galloping ...

Dual-Algorithm Hybrid Method for Riser Structural Health Monitoring Using the Fewest Sensors
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 This study suggests a novel riser structural health monitoring methodology based on a dual algorithm (DA). In this method, the displacement tracing algorithm first traces the node displacement and tension up to the last sensor position called the target ...

Action-driven Reinforcement Learning for Improving Localization of Brace Sleeve in Railway Catenary
2020 International Conference on Sensing, Measurement & Data Analytics in the era of Artificial Intelligence (ICSMD), 2020 Brace Sleeve (BS) plays an essential role in connecting and fixing cantilevers of railway catenary systems. It needs to be monitored to ensure the safety of railway operations. In the literature, image processing techniques that can localize BSs from inspection images are proposed.

A Design of an Axisymmetric Roof With a Horizontal Rotation Axis
Studies in Applied Mathematics, Volume 156, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT This research proposes a novel roof design whose shape follows the mathematical model of an ideal hanging surface. The resulting roof is a surface of revolution, but its rotation axis is horizontal, which challenges conventional intuition because the axis is perpendicular to the direction of gravity.
