Containing papers presented at COMPRAIL 2006, this book represents the latest research, development and application of computers to the management, design, manufacture and operations of railways and other passenger, freight and transit systems. The conference attracted a large number of papers, divided into the following sections: Planning; Safety; Passenger interface systems; Decision support systems; Computer techniques; Converting metros to driverless operation; Advanced train control; Train location; Dynamic train regulation; Timetable planning; Operations quality; Communications; Energy management; Power supply; Dynamics and wheel/rail interface; Freight; Condition monitoring. This book updates the use of computer-based techniques, promoting their general awareness throughout the business management, design, manufacture and operation of railways and other advanced passenger, freight and transit systems. It will be of interest to railway managers, consultants, railway engineers (including signal and control engineers), designers of advanced train control systems and computer specialists.

<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>

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.
