  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. A systems approach to accident investigation: Does it evoke systems thinking in organizations?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Tomas Onstenk; [2023]
    Keywords : Safety; Accident investigation; Systems approach; AcciMap; FLMU06; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : As systems become increasingly more complex, it is doubtful that conventional models of accident investigation can provide insight into accidents which occur in these complex systems. In safety science this problem has been recognized, and accident models using a systems approach have been developed to illuminate these complex systems. READ MORE

  4. 3. High-speed rail corridor selection in Ethiopia : A two-step screening-multicriteria decision-making approach

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : Biruk Hailu; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Transport systems can bring enormous benefits to society by providing access, mobility, and economic growth that are essential for growing and modern societies. The way of harnessing this benefit for an emerging economy as well as modern society has relied mainly on a cutting edge and state of the art transportation systems such as high-speed rail.

  5. 4. Development of a Software Reliability Prediction Method for Onboard European Train Control System

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

    Author : Guillaume Pierre Longrais; [2021]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Software Reliability Growth Prediction; Linear Regression; Artificial Neural Network; Multi-Layer Perceptron; Imperialist Competitive Algorithm; Long Short-Term Memory Network; Convolutional Neural Network; Maskininlärning; förutsägelse av tillväxten av programvarans tillförlitlighet; linjär regression; artificiellt neuralt nätverk; flerskikts-perceptron; imperialistisk konkurrensalgoritm; nätverk med långt korttidsminne; konvolutionellt neuralt nätverk;

    Abstract : Software prediction is a complex area as there are no accurate models to represent reliability throughout the use of software, unlike hardware reliability. In the context of the software reliability of on-board train systems, ensuring good software reliability over time is all the more critical given the current density of rail traffic and the risk of accidents resulting from a software malfunction.

  6. 5. 1D LIDAR Speed and Motion for the Internet-of-Things : For Railroad Classification Yards

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

    Author : Edward Chancellor; Kasper Oikarinen; [2021]
    Keywords : LIDAR; Trains; Internet of Things; Motion-tracking; Rail transportation; Railroad classification yards.; LIDAR; Tåg; Sakernas internet; Rörelsespårning; Tågtrafik; Rangerbangårdar.;

    Abstract : This thesis is an investigation into the feasibility of one-dimensional Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensors for tracking the position and motion of trains on railroad classification yards. Carefully monitoring railway traffic in these areas is important, in order to avoid accidents, optimise logistical operations and hence reduce delays. READ MORE
