1. Analysis of combined response of railway bridge and track : A parametric finite element model of the bridge across Bryngeån
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : When designing a railway bridge it is common to consider and designthe bridge structure and the track structure separately. However, theyare connected and that interaction generates a combined response and aforce transfer between them. READ MORE

2. Compact Digital Track Maps: Enhancing Train Traveller Information at the Crossing of Accuracy and Availability : A comparative analysis of algorithms for generating compact representations of railway tracks
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Trains are constrained to the railway tracks they operate on. This can be leveraged for absolute train positioning, where a train’s position can be mapped onto a digital track map (DTM). Extensive research has been dedicated to enhancing the accuracy of DTMs. READ MORE

3. Reinforcement learning for train dispatching : A study on the possibility to use reinforcement learning to optimize train ordering and minimize train delays in disrupted situations, inside the r ail simulator OSRD
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Train dispatching is a complex process, especially when the train traffic is disrupted, as the decisions taken by the dispatchers can have substantial consequences on the delays of the trains. The most frequent dispatching decisions consists in changing the order of trains at convergence points, where two tracks unite to become a single track. READ MORE

4. Detecting Defective Rail Joints on the Swiss Railways with Inception ResNet V2 : Simplifying Predictive Maintenance of Railway Infrastructure
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Manual investigation of railway infrastructure is a labor-intensive and time-consuming task, and automating it has become a high priority for railway operators to reduce unexpected infrastructure expenditure. In this thesis, we propose a new image classification approach for classifying defect and non-defective rail joints in image data, based on previous fault detection algorithms using object detection.

5. Analysis of Positional Precision when Using Ground Control Points with Supported INS in GNSS-Free Environments
University essay from KTH/Fastigheter och byggandeAbstract : Railway traffic is one of the most used transportation methods in today's society both for freight transports and transportation of people. A necessity for this to function is that the tracks upon which the trains travel are functional. READ MORE
