Hidden roles of the train driver: A challenge for metro automation

Interacting with Computers, 2011
In the year 2014, the Helsinki Metro is planned to be fully automated. This automation means that the metro trains will be computer-driven and monitored remotely from a stationary control room. To investigate the challenges related to this scenario, we decided to study the ways in which the current train drivers contribute to the metro system.

Numerical Simulation of a Metro Train Fire [PDF]

, 2005
This research thesis presents the simulation of fire growth and flame spread within a metro train in an underground trainway using Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model. The motivation of the study is to predict the heat release rate (HRR) and specifically the peak value for emergency tunnel ventilation system design ...

Determinants of Train Service Costs in Metro Operations

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2015
Research about service operation costs in the rail sector has usually focused on freight, high-speed, or national passenger rail, but has seldom included the study of the cost of urban rail (metro) rapid transit. This study analyzed the determinants of train service costs for a panel of 24 metro systems worldwide. The study used econometric modeling to

Field measurements of the interior and exterior aerodynamic pressure induced by a metro train passing through a tunnel

Sustainable Cities and Society, 2020
Aerodynamic effects (in particular the pressure variation) induced by the passage of a metro train in a tunnel intensify with the increase of train speed.

Shuttling of Automatic Metro Train Between Stations

Advances in Intelligent Systems and Technologies, 2022
This project aims to illustrate the use of innovation in metro train development. This proposed framework is a programmed train and it wipes out the need of any driver. In this undertaking Arduino has been utilized. Whenever the train shows up at the station it stops naturally, as detected by an IR sensor.

Train-Induced Vibrations on Urban Metro and Tram Turnouts

Journal of Transportation Engineering, 2009
In contrast to standard track, where train-induced vibrations are mainly related to track irregularities, the dynamic response of turnouts is dominated by the nonuniform geometry of wheel-rail contact and variations in track flexibility. Such peculiarities are responsible for the development of strong vibrations during train passage.

Train trajectory optimisation of ATO systems for metro lines

17th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC), 2014
This paper describes an Enhanced Brute Force Algorithm application to optimise train trajectory (driving speed curve) for Automatic Train Operation (ATO) systems. A multi-train simulator was developed specifically for the study. It can be used to simulate the movement of railway vehicles and calculate the detailed power system energy consumption with ...

Metro Train-Induced Vibration Measurement on Buildings

2021
Vibrations in four buildings located at different positions along the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) network have been measured and reported. Vibrations developed due to the passage of metro trains through tunnels located at a depth up to 30 m from the ground level were measured on the considered buildings at different floor levels.
