Light rail vehicles and running safety
ASME/IEEE Joint Railroad Conference, 2002The basic standard US LRV structural designs are virtually unchanged from those adopted 25 years ago based on a modified European subway car. With only one exception, these have not been significantly updated for or adapted to the high levels of in-street running found more and more on new light rail systems or for increased passenger safety in general.

Application of the ACFM inspection method to rail and rail vehicles
Insight - Non-Destructive Testing and Condition Monitoring, 2005The ACFM inspection technique is an electromagnetic inspection method, which is widely used in the oil and gas industry for the detection and sizing of surface-breaking cracks. It provides a number of advantages over conventional inspection methods, particularly in the ability to inspect without removing coatings or grease, and has recently been ...

Energy efficient control of rail vehicles
2001 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics. e-Systems and e-Man for Cybernetics in Cyberspace (Cat.No.01CH37236), 2002This paper describes an analytical method of computation of optimal controls which minimize the energy consumption by rail or any other fixed path vehicles. A specific aspect of this problem is that the external forces applied to the vehicle and the maximum allowable speed depend on the coordinate of the vehicle.

Digital Twins for Rail Vehicle Designs
This chapter describes the application of digital twin techniques in the design phase of railway vehicles. The design phase can gain important benefits from the application of digital twin techniques that allow the creation of reliable numerical models to predict the behavior of the vehicle during service.Bosso N., Magelli M., Zampieri N.
