Transition curves are a useful tool for lateral alignment of railway segments. Their design is
important to ensure safe and comfortable travel for passengers and cargo. Well designed …

This paper presents a general framework for the dynamic analysis of high-speed maglev
trains running on elastic transitional viaducts, a complicated problem that lacks an efficient …

In many countries around the world, a cubic parabola is used as transition curves in a
simplified form. Today, the properties of many mathematical curves are well studied, which …

Traffic infrastructure, such as roads, railways, and airports, contains geometrically rigid
elements, which cannot be adjusted easily to certain kinds of landscapes without making …

This paper presents an optimal solution for the alignment of horizontally curved track in a
high-speed maglev line, in which the minimum length of the curved track is taken as a major …

This article discusses the optimization of railway transition curves, through the application of
polynomials of 9th and 11th degrees. In this work, the authors use a 2-axle rail vehicle …

In urban environments characterized by various dynamic variables such as moving vehicles,
pedestrians, and bicycles, path planning for collision avoidance is essential for autonomous …

Track geometry is a fundamental subject in railway construction. With the demand for
increased capacity in terms of load and speed, the need for suitable transitions between …

In this study, the Young modulus (E) of different coals was investigated using artificial neural
networks (ANN). For this purpose, a comprehensive literature survey was carried out to …

Roads and railways, as the main parts of traffic infrastructure, represent geometrically rigid
elements which are hard to adapt to certain kinds of landscapes without making large …
