  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. Simultaneous scheduling of railway maintenance and trains : Modelling and solving train interactions close to a maintenance operation

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

    Author : Pauline Vaillant; [2023]
    Keywords : Optimization; Linear programming; Heuristics; Railway scheduling; Maintenance planning; Optimering; Linjärprogrammering; Heuristik; Järnvägsplanering; Underhållsplanering;

    Abstract : Rail transport plays a key role in the mobility of passengers and goods. It is expected to grow the decarbonization of society. In that context, it is important to use the railway network efficiently, and jointly planning trains and network maintenance allows for better use of resources. READ MORE

  4. 3. Opportunities with Modular Systems in Level Crossings : A Case Study in the Swedish Railway Industry

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

    Author : Marcus Ankaräng; [2023]
    Keywords : level crossing; railway; modular system; systems engineering; systems development; plankorsning; järnväg; modulsystem; systemteknik; systemutveckling;

    Abstract : Level crossings are a dangerous part of railways, causing several deaths every year. While the safest solution is to remove crossings altogether using bridges or tunnels, this is complicated and cannot be done on a large scale. Many level crossings will therefore continue to exist.

  5. 4. MODELLING OF HEAT TRANSFER OF RAILWAY SWITCH HEATING

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

    Author : Siddharth Suresh Sumathi; [2023]
    Keywords : Conjugate Heat transfer analysis; transient analysis; CFD; insulation; measurement data uncertainties.; Konjugat Värmeöverföringsanalys; transientanalys; CFD; isolering; mätdata osäkerheter.;

    Abstract : Switches and crossings are vital components of the railway network. Obstacles to the smooth functioning of these components could result in delays and network traffic. Given the geographical location of Sweden, snow is one of the major obstacles for the switches. READ MORE

  6. 5. Road traffic noise simulations based on 3D city models

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Wenjing Liu; [2023]
    Keywords : 3D city model; 3CIM; CNOSSOS-EU; noise simulation; city noise evaluation; data tailor; FME; SoundPLAN; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Urban development and densification cause noise problems that can have a negative impact on human health. In 2002, the European Union (EU) stated the European Noise Directive (END) with the purpose to evaluate environmental noise levels (including the sources road, railway, and air traffic) in the member states every 5 years.
