Dans le Pays de Gex, le train reliant Bellegarde à Nyon se fraie à nouveau un chemin. Après des décennies d’abandon, la ligne des piémonts du Jura recommence à irriguer la région. Le territoire, façonné par la pression des trajets pendulaires frontaliers e ...
This two-part article reports on the renewal and adaptation of the fixed railway track in the heavily frequented underground train station at Zurich Airport. The fixed track built in 1980 had reached the service duration predicted by the system provider an ...

The increasing demand for travelling forces railway operators to use their network at maximum capacity. When unforeseen events occur, the time needed to make the proper adjustments before reaching a gridlocked state is too short. The timetable rescheduling ...
This paper presented a new retrofit system for strengthening the stringer-to-floor-beam double-angle connections in a 92-year-old riveted railway bridge in Switzerland, using prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods. The strengthening system ...
Transportation hubs, such as airports and train stations, tend to experience congestion as their recent diversication of services attracts more people and the demand for mobility keeps increasing, while the expansion possibilities of the infrastructure are ...

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 ...
Today, a large portion of mobile data traffic is consumed behind the shielding walls of buildings or in the Faraday cage of trains. This renders cellular network coverage from outdoor cell sites difficult. Indoor small cells and distributed antennas along ...
The Customer Experience Management at the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) experiments with new technologies and methods to capture experiences and perceptions of passengers to design safe and customer friendly environments. First, a new methodological approac ...

Exploiting the full potential of pedestrian infrastructures in order to satisfy the demand induced
by public transport modes is key to achieving good level-of-service for passengers during
transfers. High temporal variability in demand can lead to high con ...
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 ...
