Evaluation of green wave policy in real-time railway traffic management

In order to face the expected growth of transport demand in the next years, several new traffic control policies have been proposed and analyzed both to generate timetables and to effectively manage the traffic in real-time. In this paper, a detailed optimization model is used to analyze one such policy, called green wave, which consists in letting trains wait at the stations to avoid speed profile modifications in open corridors. Such policy is expected to be especially effective when the corridors are the bottleneck of the network. However, there is a lack of quantitative studies on the real-time effects of using this policy. To this end, this work shows a comparison of the delays obtained when trains are allowed or not to change their speed profile in open corridors. An extensive computational study is described for two practical dispatching areas of the Dutch railway network.

Evaluation of CO2 emissions from railway resurfacing maintenance activities

This paper is the world first to investigate the CO₂ impact of railway resurfacing in ballasted track bed maintenance. Railway resurfacing is an important routine maintenance activity that restores track geometry to ensure safety, reliability and utility of the asset. This study consisted of an extensive field data collection from resurfacing machineries (diesel-engine tamping machines, ballast regulators and ballast stabilisers) including travel distances, working distances, fuel consumption and construction methodologies. Fuel consumption was converted to a kg CO₂/m using the embodied energies of diesel. Analyses showed that tamping machines emitted the highest CO₂ emissions of the resurfacing machineries, followed by ballast regulators and ballast stabilisers respectively. Tamping machines processed 4.25 m of track per litre of diesel, ballast regulators processed 6.51 m of track per litre of diesel and ballast stabilisers processed 10.61 m of track per litre of diesel. The results were then compared to previous studies and a rigorous parametric study was carried out to consider long-term resurfacing CO₂ emissions on Australian railway track. The outcome of this study is unprecedented and it enables track engineers and construction managers to critically plan strategic rail maintenance and to develop environmental-friendly policies for track geometry and alignment restoration.     

Application of Chinese Characters in the Design and Construction of the Badaling Great Wall Station of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway北大核心CSCD

The new Badaling tunnel is the longest tunnel on the under-construction Beijing-Zhangjiakou highspeedrailway, with the Badaling Great Wall station to be built in the tunnel. This station, which is under the Badaling Great Wall historic site, is the world’s largest underground high-speed railway station with the most complicated structure and the largest overburden and excavation area. It is therefore a representative project for China’s highspeed railway development strategy, supporting infrastructure facilities for the Beijing Horticultural Expo 2019 and the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, and it is important that it be of high quality and completed safely. In the de-sign and construction of the station, the glyphs of the Chinese characters of "中",”国”,”人”and”品”are used, re-spectively, along the station route, in the rescue and evacuation mode, auxiliary adit and partial excavation, which is a way to successfully integrate the art of Chinese characters into tunnel engineering. © 2018, Editorial Office of "Modern Tunnelling Technology".

宜万铁路齐岳山隧道F_(11)高压富水断层注浆法与冷冻法方案比选与实施

随着铁路跨越式发展需要,大量高等级的铁路即将投入建设,由于受到设计时速和地形的限制,大量的铁路地下工程需要穿越原来被认定为"施工禁区"的地段,建设者将面临更多的施工难题.宜万铁路齐岳山隧道F11断层横穿隧道长度253 m,规模极其宏大,断层带由构造角砾岩、碎裂岩和断层泥组成,胶结松散、岩体破碎,稳定性极差.现场超前深孔钻探实测单孔最大涌水量为1 800 m3/h,最大水压力2.6 MPa,高压富水的存在使断层施工难度更大.针对F11高压富水断层,将注浆法与冷冻法在安全可靠性、工法适应性、计划工期和经济性四个方面进行了比选,最终决定采取注浆法.通过现场试验与实施,顺利地完成了F11高压富水断层的注浆堵水加固,保证了隧道的安全施工.     

对铁路隧道定额隧长及换算隧长划分标准的探讨

在铁道部铁建设[2004]47号文发布的《铁路隧道工程预算定额》中，定额的编制模式及隧长划分标准与以往相比发生了根本性变化，但在长隧短打后的实际应用过程中，由于存在需做变通处理和理解上的差异，导致出现了一些与隧长相关的问题。此文对隧长的计算模型进行了系统的阐述，针对长隧短打隧道的隧长计算及应用中存在的问题，以示例的形式进行详细的分析，对今后预算定额的隧长划分标准提出了自己的建议。     

用于青藏铁路格拉段接地系统的新型装置

青藏铁路格拉段经过大片高土壤电阻率的多年冻土地区,给变电站及输电线路杆塔等电力系统接地设计施工带来了前所未有的挑战。为了更好的降低接地电阻,笔者提出了适合该地区使用的新型接地装置———降阻模块。该模块具有较小的自身电阻,通过与土壤良好接触、增加等效半径等方式降低了接触电阻与散流电阻。为了进一步提高其降阻能力,在格拉段可采用换土等措施。根据铁路沿线接地网情况,给出了不同情况下接地模块接地电阻的计算公式,并分析了降阻模块个数变化对接地网利用系数的影响和利用系数的变化规律。通过模拟及现场实验表明,该降阻模块具有施工方便,散流特性好,降阻能力强等特点,为青藏铁路格拉段接地装置的选用提供了新的选择。

连云港港扩建对田湾核电站取水影响及措施研究

基于TK-2D软件建立了连云港港和田湾核电站海域的潮流泥沙数学模型,在对模型进行验证的基础上,对连云港港口扩建(旗台港区3.5 km规划)方案对田湾核电站已建取排水工程的影响进行了数值模拟研究,计算了取排水明渠口门附近岸滩的冲淤变化及取水口设计水深等深线的位移。针对连云港港扩建造成的影响,对田湾核电站取水工程2种措施方案(即取水明渠向东延长方案和取水明渠及拦沙防波堤同时向东延长方案)的泥沙冲淤进行了研究,并采用常用的经验公式进行了校核。研究结果表明:(1)连云港港口扩建后,己建的田湾核电站取水明渠口门附近水域形成了泥沙淤积环境,滩面将会淤高,设计的取水口门水深等深线将会外移1402 m,核电站正常取水将会受到影响,必须采取工程措施;(2)取水明渠向外延长方案延伸段会发生明显淤积,取水明渠及拦沙防波堤同时向东延长1500 m可保证取水明渠口门设计水深,取水明渠内的泥沙淤积明显减少。
