Local track irregularity identification based on multi-sensor time-frequency features of high-speed railway bridge accelerations [PDF]
Shortwave track diseases are generally reflected in the form of local track irregularity. Such diseases will greatly impact the train-track-bridge interaction (TTBI) dynamic system, seriously affecting train safety. Therefore, a method is proposed to detect and localize local track irregularities based on multis-sensor time-frequency features of high ...

Abstract This study examines how actors in a high‐reliability organization categorize errors as near‐misses or accidents through the lens of adaptive capacity and adaptive range. We studied a large defense entity with operations critical to national security to understand how organization members categorized errors during incidents. Using the repertory

Robust Railway Network Design based on Strategic Timetables [PDF]
Using strategic timetables as input for railway network design has become increasingly popular among western European railway infrastructure operators. Although both railway timetabling and railway network design on their own are well covered by academic research, there is still a gap in the literature concerning timetable-based network design ...
