This book is comprised of a number of research papers presented at several Computer s in Railways Conferences. It has been compiled by G. Sciutto, from Università degli Studi di Genova, and contains selected papers originating from different countries, such as France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Spain, USA, and Taiwan. There is a strong lack of agreement regarding the safety approaches adopted by different transportation modes, while the sudden increased demand for security for both freight and passengers has motivated a more uniform methodological approach. The papers in this volume give an overview of the current state of the art in analytical approaches, methods and simulation tools for the modelling and analysis of the safety and security of transport networks.

<p>Computers are now being used in every facet of railway activity from initial feasibility studies to the actual construction of the track and rolling stock, and the ultimate operation of the network. Following the success of the five previous international conferences on Computer Aided Design, Manufacture and Operation in the Railway and other Advanced Mass Transit Systems, the sixth meeting in the series was convened in Lisbon, Portugal in September 1998. Its purpose was to report on progress in the use of computer-based techniques within the railway industry and other advanced passenger and freight transit systems and to promote a general awareness of these. Describing how planners, designers, manufacturers and operators can benefit from the latest developments in this area of information technology this book contains the proceedings of the sixth conference. Both underlying technology and environmental issues are covered and topics are divided under the following headings: Infrastructure; Safety Critical Systems, Planning, Systems Engineering and EMC; Scheduling and Freight Distribution; Vehicle Dynamics and Fatigue; Power Supply and Traction; Traffic Control; Maintenance; Ticketing; Multi-Train Simulator; Pantograph/Catenary; Human Interface and Decision Support; Block Signalling and Interlocking and ATC and Signalling Equipment.</p>

Reviewing topics such as construction, freight handling, multimode transportation, multiuse of ports including tourism, ergonomics and environmental, financial and legal aspects, this book contains the 31 papers presented at the first Maritime Engineering in Ports conference, held in Italy in September, 1998. The book discusses the management, operation, design and building of maritime works and ports, a field of transport engineering that has experienced rapid changes for several years. Because it is essential that new technologies are incorporated into a better design of these port systems in order for industry to remain competitive, the University of Genoa in Italy and the Wessex Institute of Technology of the UK decided to convene an international conference in September 1998. The meeting, which was co-sponsored by the Italian Association of Ports and the port, Authority of Savona, was held in Genoa.

The new millennium has seen the dawn of considerable fundamental changes in the technology used for railway operation. These include the introduction of cellular radio for main line and mass transit train control and Maglev for commercial application. Computers are now being employed extensively in every field during the whole lifecycle of a railway project from initial conception through development operation, maintenance and ultimately decommissioning. This book contains progress reports on the use of computer-based techniques and promotes their general awareness throughout the business management, design, manufacture and operation of railways and other advanced passenger, freight and transit systems. Over 125 papers are included and these were originally presented at the seventh in a highly successful series of international conferences examining this subject. Topics covered for the first time are: Advanced Train Control Systems, Train Location Systems, The Passenger Interface, Maglev and Linear Machines, and Energy Management and Condition Monitoring. The contributors also describe the latest developments in Infrastructure, Systems Engineering and Safety, Planning, Electromagnetic Compatibility, Scheduling and Crew Rostering, Freight Traffic, Power Supply, Traction, Rail-Wheel Dynamics and Pantograph and Catenary Interaction, Vehicle Dynamics and Fatigue, Traffic Control, Maintenance, Multi-Train Simulators, Training, Decision Support and Human Interface Systems, and Control Systems and Communication.
