Vibroisolation of railway crossings with the application of shape-memory elements [PDF]

Transport Problems, 2009
This research presents existing problem of railway elements and motor –vehicle road elements at their intersections. The objects of simulation research were vehicles passing over a level crossing of automobile road and rail-transportation road. Objective

Evaluation method for crashworthiness of railway vehicles based on the correlation with the injury severity of passengers occupying longitudinal seats

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2021
It is important to enhance the safety of the railway passengers on board in the event of a collision accident. The railway vehicle standard in European countries and the U.S. set the framework for structural crashworthiness design.

Traverses, delays and fatalities at railway level crossings in Great Britain [PDF]

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2019
This paper investigates relationships between traverses, delays and fatalities to road users at railway level crossings in Great Britain. A 'traverse' means a passage across a level crossing by a road user, who may be a pedestrian, cyclist, or occupant of a road vehicle.

Comparison of fatal motor vehicle accidents at passive and active railway level crossings in Finland

IATSS Research, 2016
The study compares accidents at passive and active railway level crossings, and both immediate and background risk factors are considered. Passive railway level crossings have no warning devices, although there might be a static warning sign.

MODELING OF QUEUE LENGTH AT RAILWAY LEVEL CROSSING CLOSE TO A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION (CASE STUDY: JAGIR WONOKROMO SURABAYA RAILWAY LEVEL CROSSING)

Journal of Civil Engineering, 2021
In Indonesia, there are still many level crossings, namely between railways and highways. This will cause congestion, in the form of queue length of vehicles that stop due to the gate closing at the railway level crossing. In addition, level railway crossing located near a signalized intersection can also affect the performance of signalized ...

In-vehicle railway level crossing warning systems : can intelligent transport systems deliver? [PDF]

, 2014
Intelligent Transport System (ITS) technology is seen as a cost-effective way to increase the conspicuity of approaching trains and the effectiveness of train warnings at level crossings by providing an in-vehicle warning of an approaching train.

An Estimation of the Heat Load Distribution on the Divertor Target Using the CSD Model

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Handling the heat load on the divertor target is a critical issue in the design of fusion reactors. Estimating the heat load, supported by computationally efficient simulations with varying design parameters, provides valuable input to high‐level design discussions and the development of design guidelines.

Critical expansion points: Mechanical signs of surrounding rock instability

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study proposes the Rock Bearing‐Expansion Model (RockBEM) with critical expansion points (CEPs) to quantify post‐peak damage stages in deep‐buried rock masses via plane strain compression test (PSCT). CEP hysteresis&interval ratios reveal bearing performance dynamics and failure severity, advancing mechanistic insights into deep underground rock ...
