Optimal Design Operation Strategies of a Hyperloop Transportation System

In the last decades, transportation demand growth has played a major role in the increase of global CO2 footprint. At the same time, a number of countries have scheduled measurable and substantial cutback of CO2 emissions by 2050. As the transportation sec ...

Säntis lightning research facility: a summary of the first ten years and future outlook

Marcos Rubinstein

The Säntis Tower was instrumented in May 2010 to measure currents of lightning discharges striking the structure. Since then, the system has been recurrently updated and expanded. Presently, data associated with lightning striking the tower are collected a ...

Enhancement of riveted steel bridges by adding a trough in UHPFRC acting in composite action

Eugen Brühwiler

Riveted railway bridges are commonly considered as being “old”, having fatigue damage and are therefore replaced. While this practice should be by now obsolete by using novel engineering methods like structural monitoring, prolongation of the service durat ...

Estimating Mean Bedload Transport Rates and Their Uncertainty

Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal

Measuring bedload transport rates usually involves measuring the flux of sediment or collecting sediment during a certain interval of time Δt. Because bedload transport rates exhibit significant non‐Gaussian fluctuations, their time‐averaged rates depend a ...

An exploration of moving walkways as a transport system in urban centers

Michel Bierlaire, André Ourednik, Riccardo Scarinci, Farzaneh Bahrami

Moving walkways (MW) have been imagined as a possible means of transport since the late 19th century, and this system has fascinated urban planners and engineers ever since. Contrary to what has been imagined, moving walkways are only used in transportatio ...

Towards Automatic Train Operation for long distance services: State-of-the art and challenges

Daniel Emery

The Automatic Train Operation of a metro line is not so difficult to implement: almost no junction or crossing between lines, rolling stock homogeneity, double track operation, relatively low speed, very simple station track layout, mostly rubber-mounted, ...

Flexible triangular formation keeping of marine robotic vehicles using range measurements.

Colin Neil Jones, Jorge Miguel Dias Almeida Rodrigues Soares, Francisco Fernandes Castro Rego

This paper addresses the problem of keeping an autonomous marine vehicle in a moving triangular formation by regulating its position with respect to two leader vehicles. The follower vehicle has no prior knowledge of the path described by the leaders but h ...

Consideration of nonlinear wheel-rail contact forces for dynamic vehicle-bridge interaction in high-speed railways

Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Nan Zhang

In this work models with nonlinear wheel-rail contact forces are considered for analysing the dynamic interaction between high speed trains and bridges, in order to study dynamic effects both in the bridge and in the vehicles resulting from the coupling. N ...
