Abstract:
Governments should create IT accident investigation boards for the exact same reasons they have done so for ships, railroads, planes, and in many cases, automobiles. Denmark got its Railroad Accident Investigation Board because too many people were maimed and killed by steam trains. The UK's Air Accidents Investigation Branch was created for pretty much the same reasons, but, specifically, because when the airlines investigated themselves, nobody was any the wiser. Does that sound slightly familiar in any way?

Abstract:
This paper aims to optimize high-speed railroad timetables for a corridor. We propose an integer programming model using a time-space network-based approach to consider passenger service demands, train scheduling, and station service demands simultaneously. A modified branch-and-price algorithm is used for the computation. This algorithm solves the linear relaxation of all nodes in a branch-and-bound tree using a column generation algorithm to derive a lower-bound value (LB) and derive an upper-bound value (UB) using a rapid branching strategy. The optimal solution is derived by iteratively up

AbstractWhile Europe is commiting itself to operating its railway network more freely, the United States have been living since the beginning under competition in that branch. This situation brought about the development of hard working conditions for its employees at first. Yet, since the companies were compelled to operate on a high security level as well as to imperiously allow anybody to have access to this service, they were quickly subdued to stringent control restricting the way they were working and granting social advantages far beyond the rights of the employment law to their railroa

Abstract:
We explain the origins of the Panic of 1857, examine its spread, and compare state banking systems's responses. We describe the decline in western land and railroad investments and the consequent stress on securities brokers and banks in eastern cities, and trace the transmission of the shock to other regions. Bank performance depended not only on regional conditions and links to eastern banks, but on the ability to coordinate behavior. Southern branch banks and coinsuring banks in Ohio and Indiana were particularly successful.

The chapter opens with a discussion of the establishment of the Signal Service in 1870. The Signal Service was the weather observation branch of the Signal Corps, and the decision to establish weather observation posts across much of western North America also brought the military telegraph to those posts, thus expanding the scale and scope of military involvement with the telegraph on the frontier. This in turn led to greater surveillance and containment of Native Americans, as well as a host of issues between the government and the telegraph corporations: secrecy, net neutrality, circuit rou

Most people, without thinking about it, visualize the universe as a railroad track disappearing into the distance, and science as the locomotive slowing wending its way along the track, learning year by year more and more about this universe in which we live.

Abstract:
Kentucky’s early farmers and distillers were shipping products to New Orleans by way of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers by the late 1780s. River navigation was influenced by access, channel obstructions, cold weather, and water levels; seasonal dry periods and ice-covered streams curtailed shipping. Steam-powered boats enabled two-way traffic on trunk streams. Overland roads were mere tracks prior to the turnpike era of “built roads,” which began in the 1830s and lasted until the 1890s. Some distillers obtained state charters to build turnpikes that linked their works to trunk roads, rivers, o

Wild or unhumanised nature holds no charms for the average topophil because it is lacking in history; (the exception which proves the rule is the geological topophil).

Products from factories and farms were flowing through these arteries toward distant cities and coastal ports, and raw materials were flowing in the other direction to processing and manufacturing plants.
