  1. 1. Safety analysis of Railway Transportation of Dangerous goods

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : Hengxu Liu; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the past decade, the demand for dangerous goods (DG) that can be used forindustrial, farming, mining, manufacturing, and pharmaceutical products has surgedwith the rapid development of industrialization. Almost 55,000 billion tonnekilometersof Dangerous Goods (DG) are transported annually by the railroad,accounting for approximately 51% of the total DG traffic volume in Europe. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modularization of High Voltage Section

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Johan Rósen; Roine Penttilä; [2023]
    Keywords : Modularization; High voltage; Traction; Frame configuration; Rail vehicle; Modularisering; högspänning; drivsystem; ramkonfiguration; tågfordon;

    Abstract : Today, Alstom has several types of High-Voltage sections (HV), which are adapted for every new type of train. Some are very similar in size and components and others are more different. READ MORE

  4. 3. INDUCTIVE RAILWAY SWITCH POINT HEATING : Improved control algorithm and phase compensation analysis for an inductive turnout heating system, and comparison with a resistive heating system

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Erik Nordlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Inductive switch point heating; Turnout heating; railway turnout heating; Inductive heating;

    Abstract : Railway turnout heating is essential during the winter because snow and ice can hinder the movement of the switch. In Sweden, heating has traditionally been done using resistive heating wires mounted to the stock rail, but the technology is outdated and generally exhibits low efficiency and performance.

  5. 4. Flexible project management in highly regulated railway signaling projects

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Teresa Talio; [2023]
    Keywords : Signalling; Railway; System development; Systems Engineering; Lean Philosophy; Stage-Gate Process; Signalering; järnväg; systemutveckling; systemteknik; Lean-filosofi; Stage-gate-processen;

    Abstract : Railway is a complex system, with many components that are linked with one another. If a failure occurs in a sub-system, it can affect the functionality and the safety of the whole. Signalling represents a crucial component of the railway system because it ensures safety, and it can optimize capacity on the lines. READ MORE

  6. 5. Investigation of torsion modes in overhead traveling cranes: : Reviewing the ISO 22980 standard

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

    Author : Simon Jens; [2023]
    Keywords : Overhead traveling crane; Finite element method; Frequency and experimental vibration analysis; Travers; finita elementmetod; egenfrekvensanalys; experimentell vibrationsanalys;

    Abstract : Overhead cranes and rail mountings in the wall are subjected to vibrations whenlifting equipment. The purpose of this thesis is to review if the minimum frequencyvalue for cranes, according to the ISO 22986:2007 standard is conservative whendesigning overhead traveling cranes. READ MORE
