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, 2016Many 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
2023This 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, 2013Abstract 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, 2009There 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, 2013Aiming 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.
