A socio-spatial analysis of commuter preferences and behavior for driving sustainable rail network development

open access: yesApplications in Engineering Science
To support sustainable transportation network development, Türkiye made big investments in the rail sector, including High-Speed Rail (HSR) services. To better understand the rail commuter sector and its potential connection to the Eurasian corridors in ...

Potentials of Light Rail Transit in Nigeria

open access: yes, 2016
The inadequacy of road transport to cope effectively with the movement of passengers in Nigeria cannot be overemphasised as this has implications on the economy. Rail transport plays a key role in the socio-economic development of nations. However, the non-functioning of the railway system due to neglect over the years further compounded the problem ...

Electric and hydrogen rail: Potential contribution to net zero in the UK

open access: yesTransportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, 2020
Electric trains (ET) and hydrogen trains (HT) are considered zero emission at the point of use. True emissions are dependent upon non-tailpipe sources, primarily in energy production. We present UK carbon dioxide (CO) operating emission model outputs for conventionally fuelled trains (CFT), ETs and HTs between 2017 and 2050 under four National Grid ...

PPO‐Based Reinforcement Learning for the Semi‐Active Vibration Control of MDOF Platform

open access: yesAI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aiming at the coupled vibration problem of a multi‐degree‐of‐freedom (MDOF) vibration isolation platform under eccentric excitation, this paper proposes a semi‐active vibration control strategy based on Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) ‐based reinforcement learning (PPO RL).

Rail Reform Strategies: The Australian Experience [PDF]

open access: yes
Widely different approaches to rail reform are evident across countries and within Australia. Reforms have involved structural separation (both vertical and horizontal) and varying degrees of private sector involvement.

Stakeholder Perspectives on Therapeutic and Safe Building Design in Residential Care

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Residential care is a form of out‐of‐home care that plays a critical role in supporting vulnerable young people in Australia. However, there is an evidence gap regarding the built environment in this context. This research aimed to explore the perspectives of key stakeholders in residential care in Victoria, Australia, regarding design that ...

Analysis of spatial features and determination of metropolitan area boundaries in the Guanzhong region affected by intercity rail transit

open access: yesDiscover Applied Sciences
This study explores how intercity rail transit reshapes spatial structures, which underpins the optimization of regional resource allocation. Taking 54 county-level units in the Guanzhong region as research subjects, we constructed a dual-model ...

A Cooperative Data Mining Approach for Potential Urban Rail Transit Demand Using Probe Vehicle Trajectories

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Promoting the use of public transportation is an important approach to develop sustainable mobility. However, lots of potential users of public transportation chose taxi, a semi-private mode for convenience.

Dynamic Distribution of Rail Potential with Regional Insulation Alteration in Multi‐Train Urban Rail Transit

open access: yesIET Electrical Systems in Transportation
Rail potential (RP) has become a disaster for the safe operation of metro lines. In urban rail transit (URT), regional insulation degradation often occurs due to the harsh environment of the reflux conductor for traction current, leading to the complex distribution of RP. In this paper, the dynamic distribution of RP with regional insulation alteration

Evaluating the long term impacts of transport policy: the case of passenger rail privatisation in Great Britain

open access: yes, 2011
Britain’s national rail system was ‘privatised’ as a result of the 1993 Railways Act, with most of the organisational and ownership changes implemented by 1997.
