Non-steady state modelling of wheel-rail contact problem for the dynamic simulation of railway vehicles

This paper deals with the solution of the non-steady state wheel-rail contact problem. Firstly, the existing models are analysed and it is concluded that none of them have the computational efficiency and/or accuracy characteristics required to be used in a railway simulation programme. Following this, a new solution is proposed to the problem that allows obtaining sufficiently accurate results with a relatively low computational cost. During the development of the proposed method it has been assumed that only one type of creepage is variable with respect to the time. Further work is necessary to extend it to more general cases.

High-Speed Rail Operations on an Existing Network: An Assessment Model for China

High-speed rail operations have the potential to reduce the long-term decline in rail passenger travel demand for the medium to long distance inter-urban markets. Such decline has been evident through most of the industrialized countries where air and road transport tend to be the dominant modes. In China, the operations of long distance high-speed rail on fully dedicated track is not very easy to implement, due to the high proportion of passengers who travel between high-speed and conventional railways. An alternative approach would be to allow for mixed operations with trains of various speeds on the same track. This article puts forward a simulation model designed to allow an evaluation of the most efficient distance for high-speed rail operations under mixed train speed scenarios. The model takes into account the main operating parameters such as passenger volumes, train speeds, capital and maintenance costs, train operating costs and energy consumption. The distance of high-speed train running on conventional rail that will yield the most economic benefit can be estimated using the model. The article includes the results of using the model for a specific example. It is concluded that large-scale high-speed trains have the potential to be successfully operated on conventional rail networks.     

Transportation planning for special events: a review of expo 86 in Vancouver

The authors examine the problems of transportation planning for special events such as Worlds Fairs, Olympic Games etc., and use as a case study the experiences gained at EXPO 86 in Vancouver. Results indicate that sufficient flexibility exists in the urban infrastructure to accommodate the transport access and parking requirements of major, short‐term special events.     

高速铁路隧道无砟轨道上拱整治技术研究

近年来,我国交通建设迅猛发展,复杂艰险山区铁路隧道工程规模庞大,为降低维修养护成本,满足高速铁路运营安全及乘客舒适度的需要,隧道内采用大量的无砟轨道结构,但仰拱施工仍然延续以前的施工生产模式,时有隧底积水、虚砟、欠挖等施工质量缺陷,导致无砟轨道结构开裂、上拱、下沉等病害,严重影响列车运营安全。依托某运营高速铁路隧道,为解决无砟轨道结构上拱的病害,采用现场调查、物探及钻探验证的方法,查明仰拱及填充厚度不足、隧底积水是导致病害段轨道几何位移的主要原因;根据病害段实际情况,采取限速45 km/h、锚杆加固隧道边墙、切断钢轨及道床板(保留支承层)后,设置短轨并利用两端既有的道床板支承层及仰拱填充架设钢垫梁,分段拆换仰拱、填充及支承层,分段现浇道床板,恢复轨道结构,实现隧底病害的彻底整治。
