FINANCING OF RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE IN SLOVENIA [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Economic Sciences, 2008
In the paper we present a BOT (Build, Operate, Transfer) model of financing railway infrastructure development in the Republic of Slovenia. It is characteristic of this form of project financing that the host country or a local community grants a private project company or consortium a concession to build and manage the public infrastructure.

Railway infrastructure monitoring by drones

2016 International Conference on Electrical Systems for Aircraft, Railway, Ship Propulsion and Road Vehicles & International Transportation Electrification Conference (ESARS-ITEC), 2016
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the adoption of drones for monitoring a variety of infrastructures. Infrastructure monitoring systems are widely adopted to detect faults before they can lead to severe failures. They can be found in a number of civil structures, including bridges and viaducts, and also in many other ...

Automatic Detection of Squats in Railway Infrastructure

IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2014
This paper presents an automatic method for detecting railway surface defects called “squats” using axle box acceleration (ABA) measurements on trains. The method is based on a series of research results from our group in the field of railway engineering that includes numerical simulations, the design of the ABA prototype, real-life implementation, and

European railway infrastructure: towards a convergence of infrastructure charging?

International Journal of Transport Management, 2004
Thirteen years ago, the European Directive 91/440 was implemented with the aim of increasing the efficiency of railway organisations throughout Europe. The main requirement of the Directive was to split transport operating from infrastructure management (at least in accounting terms).

Semantic Computing for Railway Infrastructure Verification

2013 IEEE Seventh International Conference on Semantic Computing, 2013
We present an approach for modeling, verification and debugging of railway infrastructures. The aim of this work is to improve the planning process of new railway lines. We define a set of OWL ontologies for describing the static interrelations of railway tracks and safety elements.

Asset management for the Dutch railway infrastructure

Next generation infrastructure systems for eco-cities, 2010
Asset management has conquered a prominent position in infrastructure operation and maintenance over the past few years. In this paper, we will describe the way asset management has been applied in the organization of Pro Rail, the Dutch railway infrastructure manager.

The implementation of the Italian Register of Railway Infrastructure

2017 5th IEEE International Conference on Models and Technologies for Intelligent Transportation Systems (MT-ITS), 2017
This paper illustrates the process of implementation of the Italian Register of Railway Infrastructure (RINF), a new railway database placed in service in October 2015 and developed in the European Union in the field of the European Decision 2014/880/UE and of the Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC.
