Selection of the optimum exploitation scenario for an interurban railway corridor by the help of mathematical models
2015
Num. 5
Summary - Throughout the world, the overwhelm- ing majority of railway corridors concern mixed train operation. Express and local passenger trains along with freight trains are routed on the same... read all
The energy consumption of trains in operation: simulation, a methodology for the analysis and influence of the driving style
2015
Num. 4
  Summary - The paper proposes an analysis methodology of energy consumptions in the railway field, presenting a comparison between an analytical calculation model and some measurements. It is... read all

Methodologies for the hauled mass increase of freight trains in accordance with Fiche UIC 421
2015
Num. 2
Summary - The current version of Fiche UIC 421 on the interoperability of freight trains is characterised by an approach, called "relative", for the purposes of defining new configurations of trains... read all
Measurement of the vertical loads transferred to the rail
2014
Num. 12
  The aim of the research is the study and setup of a Vertical Loads Measurement Station (SMCV) transmitted from the wheels to the rails during operation. The research was developed through... read all
A method for evaluating the frequency effect on the overall travel time
2014
Num. 10
In this article, a method to evaluate the effect of the frequency of transport service on the overall travel time is proposed for a given origin destination connection. In particular, a formula for... read all
An assessment model of the single-track line carrying capacity: influence of the signalling system and application to the Trans-Mongolian railways
2014
Num. 8
  The Trans-Mongolian railway represents an interesting study case within the Trans-Asian connections, since - in these years - they have been subject to radical upgrading intended to increase its... read all
Thermal simulator for traction chains of high-speed trains, application to ETR500-Frecciarossa
2014
Num. 6
