  1. 1. Vehicle dynamics modelling of electromagnetic suspensions for MAGLEV applications

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och spårfordon samt konceptuell fordonsdesign

    Author : Léa Chatelais; [2024]
    Keywords : MAGLEV; Dynamics; Requirements; Suspension; Vehicle modeling; MATLAB; MAGLEV; Dynamisk; Fordran; Upphängning; Fordon modell; MATLAB;

    Abstract : MAGnetic LEVitation Guidance System (MAGLEV) technology was commercially introduced relatively recently in the guided transport field. It is based on removing the wheels and rails of classic railway systems and supporting and guiding the train with magnets and magnetic forces instead. READ MORE

  3. 2. Optimizing Cyber Security Gap Analysis for Legacy Railway Control Systems : A Proposed New Gap Analysis Process using CIS Benchmarks™

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Weicheng Xu; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The global concern over cyber security threats to railway control systems is growing due to the factual and potential threats that could lead to severe consequences, including disruption, derailment, and collision. Legacy railway control systems, which were not originally designed with cyber security in mind, are particularly vulnerable to common cyber attacks. 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heating has traditionally been done using resistive heating wires mounted to the stock rail, but the technology is outdated and generally exhibits low efficiency and performance.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. Challenges in the Maintenance and Diagnostic Segment of Digital Asset Management in the Swedish Railway Industry

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

    Author : Salam Adeeb; Marwan Ouali; [2023]
    Keywords : Railway Digital Asset Management; remote monitoring; condition-based maintenance; predictive maintenance; Digital tillgångsförvaltning; prediktivt underhåll; tillståndsbaserat underhåll; diagnostik;

    Abstract : Just like the rest of society, the use of digital technology has throughout the years become a more crucial part for train companies to improve performance, meet customer demands, improve operation and maintenance processes to increase efficiency and reliability. These solutions have through time developed to become part of a cluster named Digital Asset Management (DAM). READ MORE
