1. Energy Consumption and Running Time for Trains : modelling of running resistance and driver behaviour based on full scale testing
Sammanfattning : The accuracy in determined energy consumption and runningtime of trains, by means of computer simulation, is dependent upon the various models used. This thesis aims at developing validated models of running resistance, train and of a generaldriver, all based on full scale testing. LÄS MER
2. Challenges with Driverless and Unattended Train Operations
Sammanfattning : Demand for transportation continues to increase, for both freight and passenger services. One of the most energy-efficient modes of transportation is rail. One solution to increase the attractiveness of rail transport is to introduce automatic train operation (ATO) with a high grade of automation (GoA). LÄS MER
3. Application of Predictive Analytics for Shunting Yard Delays
Sammanfattning : Increasing the modal share of rail freight transport is one of the main ways to achieve carbon neutrality in Europe. The perceived low reliability and predictability of rail freight services is one of the main challenges to overcome in reaching this target. LÄS MER
4. Applying Data Analytics to Freight Train Delays in Shunting Yards
Sammanfattning : The European Commission has foreseen a modal share of 30% by 2030 for rail freight transport. To achieve this increase in the modal share, enhanced reliability of rail freight services is required. Optimal functioning of shunting yards is one of the areas that can improve this reliability.

5. Thermomechanics of block brakes
Sammanfattning : Friction in sliding contacts plays an important role in tribology. Applications can be found in many engineering fields such as braking of vehicles in which friction brakes are by far the most common. Thus, an understanding of the mechanisms involved in friction brakes has become more important as the demands on brakes increase. LÄS MER
