The reasons for the success of freight rail transport through the Swiss Alps
2019
Num. 1
Abstract - Freight exchange between North-Western Italy and the Western part of Central-Northern Europe uses three transport modes: the road transport formed by the routes that cross the Alps through... read all
Bringing back regularity on a collective transport line
2018
Num. 10
Abstract - Collective transport transit user judge and perceive the quality of the service using few parameters. First, “frequency”, on which depends waiting time and consequently time for transport... read all

Timetable-based capacity evaluations: analysis of a sub-urban single-track railway
2018
Num. 4
Summary - The paper presents an original approach to perform capacity assessments of railway systems, based on the automatic generation and evaluation of feasible timetables. This method relies on a... read all
Optimization facilities for bridges and track on high speed railways
2018
Num. 3
Summary - The paper describes the research results of the optimisation of “bridge-track-car” interaction for high- speed railway traffic (up to 400 km/h) in bridge zones. The developed criteria allow... read all
