Reliability and Safety in Railway by Xavier Perpinya Pdf

In railway applications, performance studies are fundamental to increase the lifetime of railway systems. One of their main goals is verifying whether their working conditions are reliable and safety. This task not only takes into account the analysis of the whole traction chain, but also requires ensuring that the railway infrastructure is properly working. Therefore, several tests for detecting any dysfunctions on their proper operation have been developed. This book covers this topic, introducing the reader to railway traction fundamentals, providing some ideas on safety and reliability issues, and experimental approaches to detect any of these dysfunctions. The objective of the book is to serve as a valuable reference for students, educators, scientists, faculty members, researchers, and engineers.

On Track by Canada. Railway Safety Act Review Committee Pdf

Presents the report of a committee established to review the impact of the federal Railway Safety Act on the safety of: the construction or alteration of railway works; the operation and maintenance of railway works and equipment; non-railway operations affecting railway safety; and the administration and enforcement of rail regulation. In its review, the committee heard presentations and reviewed submissions from railway companies, unions, interest groups, and private citizens, with full consideration to work already carried out on the effect of the Act by Transport Canada and by previous review commissions. Sections of the report cover the evolution of railway regulation from 1867 to the current Act; the state of railway safety and safety trends; the roles and responsibilities of railways in safety management; the legislative framework governing railway safety; the roles and responsibilities of government regulators; issues related to grade crossing safety, environmental protection and safety, and substance use and abuse among railway workers; provincially regulated railways and provincial approaches to railway regulation; railway safety in the future, in view of advanced railway technologies; and recommendations for reform. Includes glossary.

Railway Safety, Reliability, and Security: Technologies and Systems Engineering by Flammini, Francesco Pdf

Human errors, as well as deliberate sabotage, pose a considerable danger to passengers riding on the modern railways and have created disastrous consequences. To protect civilians against both intentional and unintentional threats, rail transportation has become increasingly automated. Railway Safety, Reliability, and Security: Technologies and Systems Engineering provides engineering students and professionals with a collection of state-of-the-art methodological and technological notions to support the development and certification of ‘real-time safety-critical’ railway control systems, as well as the protection of rail transportation infrastructures.

Railway Research by Krzysztof Zboinski Pdf

This book focuses on selected research problems of contemporary railways. The first chapter is devoted to the prediction of railways development in the nearest future. The second chapter discusses safety and security problems in general, precisely from the system point of view. In the third chapter, both the general approach and a particular case study of a critical incident with regard to railway safety are presented. In the fourth chapter, the question of railway infrastructure studies is presented, which is devoted to track superstructure. In the fifth chapter, the modern system for the technical condition monitoring of railway tracks is discussed. The compact on-board sensing device is presented. The last chapter focuses on modeling railway vehicle dynamics using numerical simulation, where the dynamical models are exploited.
