Excessive vibrations of railway vehicles induced by dynamic impact loadings have a
significant impact on train operating safety and stability; however, due to the complexity and …

A submerged floating tunnel (SFT) is considered as an effective alternative to conventional
bridges and underground/immersed tunnels for passing through deep water. In this study, a …

With the increasing speed of railway vehicles, deciding how to reasonably distribute impact
energy to each vehicle has been a widespread concern in safety protection systems. This …

This paper investigates the possibility for implementing machine learning-aided prediction in
analyzing the buckling phenomena of ballasted railway tracks induced by extreme …

The interspersed railway track is an enhanced timber railway track, spot-replacing damaged
wooden sleepers with new concrete sleepers to improve the bearing capacity of existing …

Wheel flange climb derailment of vehicles in railway turnouts is a serious safety issue. In
particular, derailment accidents in smaller turnouts, caused by poor track alignment before …

This paper develops a multi-level decision making approach for the optimal planning of
maintenance operations of railway infrastructures, which are composed of multiple …

We develop a multi-level decision making approach for optimal condition-based
maintenance planning of a railway network divided into a large number of sections with …

The resonance vibration of flexible car-bodies greatly affects the dynamics performances of
high-speed trains. In this paper, we report a three-dimensional train–track model to capture …

Lateral collisions between heavy road vehicles and passenger trains at level crossings and
the associated derailments are serious safety issues. This paper presents a detailed …
