  1. 1. Energy Consumption and Running Time for Trains : modelling of running resistance and driver behaviour based on full scale testing

    Författare :Piotr Lukaszewicz; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy consumption; Running time; running resistance; driver behaviour; freight; train; energy coasting method; aerodynamic drag; driver model; degree of coasting; slippage; wind; Energy saving; braking ratio; powering ratio; full scale testing; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

    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

  3. 2. Challenges with Driverless and Unattended Train Operations

    Författare :Emil Jansson; Oskar Fröidh; Nils O.E. Olsson; Ingrid Johansson; Carl-William Palmqvist; Olov Lindfeldt; Ronghui Liu; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Railway; Automatic train operation; Driverless trains; Train driver; Roles; Automation challenges; Human senses; Trackside sensors; Transportsystem; Transport Systems; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    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

  4. 3. Application of Predictive Analytics for Shunting Yard Delays

    Författare :Niloofar Minbashi; Markus Bohlin; Behzad Kordnejad; Carl-William Palmqvist; Paola Pellegrini; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Shunting yards; train delays; machine learning; simulation; freight transport; Godsbangårdar; tåg förseningar; maskininlärning; simulering; godstransport; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

    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

  5. 4. Applying Data Analytics to Freight Train Delays in Shunting Yards

    Författare :Niloofar Minbashi; Markus Bohlin; Behzad Kordnejad; Carl-William Palmqvist; C. Tyler Dick; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Shunting yards; delay prediction; congestion; delay probability distributions; temporal delay distributions; Rangergodsbangårdarna; förseningsprediktion; trängsel; fördröjning av sannolikhetsdistributioner; tidsfördröjningsdistributioner; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

    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.

  7. 5. Thermomechanics of block brakes

    Författare :Daniel Thuresson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; friction; pin model; contact mechanics; brake; thermo camera; thermomechanical; wear; freight train.; finite element; temperature measurement;

    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
