Increasing Cellular Network Energy Efficiency for Railway Corridors

Andreas Peter Burg, Adrian Schumacher, Ruben Merz

Modern trains act as Faraday cages making it challenging to provide high cellular data capacities to passengers. A solution is the deployment of linear cells along railway tracks, forming a cellular corridor. To provide a sufficiently high data capacity, m ...

Estimation of pedestrian origin-destination demand in train stations

Michel Bierlaire, Flurin Silvan Hänseler, Nicholas Alan Molyneaux

We present a framework for estimating pedestrian demand within a train station. It takes into account ridership data, and various direct and indirect indicators of demand. Such indicators may include link flow counts, density measurements, survey data, his ...
