Abstract:

Rail infrastructure is a large and costly investment, and has a long life. To realize the benefits from this investment, effective maintenance is required. Railways are one of the prime modes of transportation in many countries and as they are closely associated with passenger and cargo transportation, they own high risk in terms of potential loss of human life and damage/destruction of assets. New technologies and stringent safety standards are constantly being introduced, but accidents still occur. There will always be some risk associated with derailments and collisions, but it can be reduc

Abstract:

This dissertation is aimed at the development of a current mode instrumentation amplifier (CMIA) with a high common mode input range. This characteristic is obtained due to the rail-to-rail operational amplifiers (opamps). These opamps are built with rail-to-rail differential amplifiers as input stages, and with cascode-based output stages, which are able to copy its current by adding identical branches and connecting their gates without the voltage degradation as the known CMIA topologies. The main contribution of this work is the development of a rail-to-rail current mode instrumentation amp

Abstract:

In Australia, railway systems play a vital role in transporting the sugarcane crop from farms to mills. The sugarcane transport system is very complex and uses daily schedules, consisting of a set of locomotives runs, to satisfy the requirements of the mill and harvesters. The total cost of sugarcane transport operations is very high; over 35% of the total cost of sugarcane production in Australia is incurred in cane transport. Efficient schedules for sugarcane transport can reduce the cost and limit the negative effects that this system can have on the raw sugar production system. There are s

Wavelet intensity based algorithm developed previously at VirginiaTech has been furthered and paired with an SVM based classifier. The wavelet intensity algorithm acts as a feature extraction algorithm. The wavelet transform is an effective tool as it allows one to narrow down upon the transient, high frequency events and is able to tell their exact location in time. According to prior work done in the field of signal processing, the local regularities of a signal can be estimated using a Lipchitz exponent at each time step of the signal. The local Lipchitz exponent can then be used to generat

High Speed Rail (HSR) is rapidly gaining popularity worldwide as a safe and efficient transport option for long-distance travel. Designed to win market shares from air transport, HSR systems optimise their productivity between increasing speeds and station spacing to offer high quality service and gain ridership. Recent studies have investigated the effects that the deployment of HSR infrastructure has on spatial distribution and the economic development of cities and regions. Findings appear mostly positive at higher geographical scales, where HSR links connect major urban centres several hun

One way to make rail vehicles a competitive means of transportation is to increase running speed. However, higher speeds usually generate increased forces and accelerations on the vehicle, which have a negative effect on ride comfort. With conventional passive suspension, it may be difficult to maintain acceptable passenger comfort. Therefore, active technology in the secondary suspension can be implemented to improve, or at least maintain, ride comfort at increased vehicle speeds or when track conditions are unfavourable.

Abstract:

Thesis (M.C.P. and S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2003.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 169-173).<br>People can arrive at a station using a variety of different transportation modes including walking, biking, taking a bus or driving. Each access mode interfaces with transit in a different way.

Abstract:

Predicted increasing demand for long-distance travel raises the potential for considerable capacity impacts on the existing transport network. HS2, a proposed high speed rail (HSR) line in Britain bypassing existing routes, is being advanced by Government and might impact on mode choice and planned travel behaviour. Given predicted increasing long-distance travel demand, improving understanding of the underlying attitudinal, perceptual and behavioural issues is important. This thesis investigates attitudes to long-distance travel, perceptions of HSR, and willingness-to-pay for travel time redu
