| Summary: | No. 2475 [i.e., v. 1] contains 12 papers concerned with freight and passenger system aspects of railroads. Specific topics addressed include: global high-speed rail experience; high-speed rail lines and market competition; high-speed rail and urban decentralization; the financial relationship between railway industry players in shared railway systems; high-speed rail revenue management; and life-cycle cost, system reliability, and service reliability in passenger rail system design. Additional topics include energy efficiency of passenger rail systems; passenger train capacity and level of service; sequencing and scheduling in railway classification yards; online rail freight exchange; optimization of shunting yard operations; and capacity issues of single-track railway lines with short sidings. No. 2476 [i.e., v. 2] includes 17 papers concerned with track, equipment, and safety aspects of railroads. Specific topics addressed include the following: concrete crosstie rail seat deterioration; environmental vibration induced by subways in a tunnel; the impact of water level rise on the behaviors of track structure and substructure; fine-scale ballast-tie interface pressure distribution; calculation of critical velocity of trains; timber and concrete crosstie maintenance and replacement; mitigation of differential settlement in a bridge transition zone; tie support at transition zones; and freight and passenger rail fuel efficiency. Additional topics addressed in this issue include: data-driven wheel wear modeling and reprofiling; distracted driving at highway-rail grade crossings; accident prediction at railroad grade crossings; light rail crossing safety performance functions; IdaShield signs at highway-rail crossings; traffic safety at road-rail level crossings; freight train derailment rates; and a historic analysis of U.K. railway accidents caused by human error. |
