Short-term rolling stock rostering and maintenance scheduling optimization
2014
Num. 1
  This paper describes an optimization framework for rolling stock ros tering and maintenance scheduling at a busy workshop. A new mixed- integer linearprogramming formulation is provided for the... read all
Creep and wear study for contact wire of direct current catenary: comparison between Cu-ETP and CuAg0,1 contact wires
2013
Num. 10
  The increase of the speed and of the capacity in the railway operation requires an increase of the performances of both rolling stock and infrastructure. This paper is focused on the needed... read all
The “Hourglass” model
2013
Num. 8
  When there is an anomaly of the motorway traffic with drastic reduction of capacity, the almost immediate establishment of a queue is frequent. The note shows a generalized methodology to estimate... read all
Freight transport through the Swiss Alps: evolution as determined by application of a new model of modal split
2013
Num. 6
  The paper presents a dynamic model of demand modal split in a multimodal freight transport system. It has been devised in order to study the evolution of freight transport through the Swiss Alps,... read all
Study on narrow gauge track mechanics for speeding-up to 160 km/h (Second part)
2013
Num. 2
  The first part of this article has been published in the preceding issue of Ingegneria Ferroviaria, in such a way that the present part continues the sections contained there.
Generation of filling curves of railway stations
2013
Num. 2
  The method of “filling curves” allows the design or verification of the stop capacity of railway stations, associated with a fixed service quality level, with a synthetic approach, i.e. not related... read all
Study on narrow gauge track mechanics for speeding-up to 160 km/h (First part)
2013
Num. 1
  In order to state the conditions in which this study will be developed, the first part of this article starts, after covering some introductory topics, with the definition of the most relevant... read all
Italian precompressed concrete sleepers
2013
Num. 1
  The analysis of the historical evolution in the design, construction and use in cross railway line, highlights the virtuous circle that links innovation to the return of experience of the year.... read all
Tunnel design methods with yielding support in squeezing and swelling rocks
2012
Num. 12
  Although the processes taking place in the ground around a tunnel in squeezing and in swelling rock differ from each other fundamentally, there is one common feature in both cases: with increasing... read all
Interaction between project, zonal accessibility and generated demand
2012
Num. 12
  This work deals with the development of a calculation method for “generated or induced demand” resulting from the construction of a road infrastructure project. The materialisation of a percentage... read all
