Rail transit EMI-EMC

IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Magazine, 2012
Rail transit systems around the world benefit from increasingly sophisticated systems for electric propulsion, auxiliary power, control, and signaling. Applying these systems cost-effectively requires interoperability standards and testing procedures that guarantee EMC. This paper surveys the sources of EMI in rail transit from propulsion and auxiliary

‘Swift Rail’—funding local rail transit through smarter growth

Public Money & Management, 2016
Many medium-size cities suffer from severe traffic congestion and poor accessibility, limiting their potential to improve their economy, environment, and social equity. These problems could be addressed by creating high-quality transit linking such cities with suburban and other catchment areas through use of existing rail lines and abandoned former ...

Energy Transition of Rail Transport: Assessing the competitiveness of decarbonized rail alternatives

2023
This paper provides a method to measure the competitiveness of decarbonized rail alternatives. As there is not, to our knowledge, a standard method to evaluate the competitiveness of decarbonized rail alternatives compared to existing solutions, we proposed one.

Systematical Analysis of Rail Corrugation in Urban Rail Transit

Journal of Convergence Information Technology, 2013
Abstract Rail corrugation is an adulatory wear which is similar to wave in shapes that can be observed on the rail rolling surface along the longitudinal direction after the rail is put into use. In this paper, a vehicle-track coupled finite element model is established to analyze the reason of rail corrugation systematically in urban rail transit. The

Express Bus versus Rail Transit

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2009
There is debate about the relative merits of investing in rail or express bus modes to improve regional transit performance. The debate largely assumes that both modes serve a single function of providing higher-speed service to the central business district (CBD) over relatively long travel distances.

Transit Capacity of Urban Rail Transit Station

ICTE 2013, 2013
Aiming at dealing with the passenger flow outburst for a urban rail transit station, transport capability is theoretically calculated according to station design. Many influencing factors are considered in the calculation, mainly the number and passing capability of channels.

Rail Capacity Improvement Study for Heavy Rail Transit Operations

2012
This study offers a combination of considerations and evaluation tools pertaining to relevant means of capacity improvements (technology, operations, route, and vehicle upgrades), both conventional and emerging. Guidance regarding the economics is offered to help balance the mix to minimize cost of achieving the level of capacity improvement required ...

Rail Transit Operating Cost Guidelines

Transportation Engineering Journal of ASCE, 1975
Operating costs may be estimated at several levels of detail, ranging from the simple application of unit costs per car-mile or car-hour, to the preparation of a complete manning table and other refinements, depending on the level of accuracy required for the individual application. The need for this type of estimate prompted the development of the set

Complementarity of Dockless Mircomobility and Rail Transit

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022
Shared micromobility services have undergone rapid growth in cities throughout the world, including expansions in bike sharing and e-scooter sharing services. Shared micromobility provides a potential complement to public transit by accommodating first and last-mile trips.
