In the context of such needs, we propose a related degree-based frequent pattern mining algorithm, named Related High Utility Quantitative Item set Mining (RHUQI-Miner), to enable the effective mining of railway fault data. The algorithm constructs the item-related degree structure of fault data and gives a pruning optimization strategy to find frequent patterns with higher related degrees, reducing redundancy and invalid frequent patterns. Subsequently, it uses the fixed pattern length strategy to modify the utility information of the item in the mining process so that the algorithm can control the length of the output frequent pattern according to the actual data situation and further improve the performance and practicability of the algorithm. The experimental results on the real fault dataset show that RHUQI-Miner can effectively reduce the time and memory consumption in the mining process, thus providing data support for differentiated and precise maintenance strategies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100607,"journal":{"name":"High-speed Railway","volume":"2 2","pages":"Pages 101-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949867824000333/pdfft?md5=7ddc6c2c1df15b6be817951e15c67c9e&pid=1-s2.0-S2949867824000333-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141031330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the harsh environmental erosion and the attack from the wheel vibration, the failure rate of the sliding chairs accounts for up to 10% of the total failure number in turnout. However, there is little research carried out in the existing literature to diagnose the deterioration states of the sliding chairs. To fill out this gap, by utilizing the images containing the sliding chairs, we propose an improved You Only Look Once version 7 (YOLOv7) to identify the state of the sliding chairs. Specifically, to meet the challenge brought by the small inter-class differences among the sliding chair states, we first integrate the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) into the YOLOv7 backbone to screen the information conducive to state identification. Then, an extra detector for a small object is customized into the YOLOv7 network in order to detect the small-scale sliding chairs in images. Meanwhile, we revise the localization loss in the objective function as the Efficient Intersection over Union (EIoU) to optimize the design of the aspect ratio, which helps the localization of the sliding chairs. Next, to address the issue caused by the varying scales of the sliding chairs, we employ K-means++ to optimize the priori selection of the initial anchor boxes. Finally, based on the images collected from real-world turnouts, the proposed method is verified and the results show that our method outperforms the basic YOLOv7 in the state identification of the sliding chairs with 4% improvements in terms of both mean Average [email protected] ([email protected]) and F1-score.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100607,"journal":{"name":"High-speed Railway","volume":"2 2","pages":"Pages 71-76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S294986782400028X/pdfft?md5=c34de2ade9026bad6418a20d3cc740e0&pid=1-s2.0-S294986782400028X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140779833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the train passes through the turnout on a long-span bridge, the wheel-rail impacts caused by the turnout structure irregularities, and the instability arising from the bridge's flexural deformation lead to a strong coupling effect in the vehicle-turnout-bridge system. This significantly affects both ride comfort and operational safety. For addressing this issue, the present study considered a long-span continuous rigid-frame bridge as an example and established a train-turnout-bridge coupled dynamic model of high-speed railway. Utilizing a self-developed dynamic simulation program, the study analysed the dynamic response characteristics when the train passes through the turnouts on the bridge. It also investigated the influence of different span-to-depth ratios of the bridge on the vehicle dynamic response when the train passes through the main line and branch line of turnouts and then proposed a span-to-depth ratio limit value for a long-span continuous rigid-frame bridge. The research findings suggest that the changes in the span-to-depth ratio have a relatively minor impact on the train’s operational performance but significantly affect the dynamic characteristics of the bridge structure. Based on the findings and a comprehensive assessment of safety indicators, it is advisable to establish a span-to-depth ratio limit of 1/4500 for a long-span continuous rigid-frame bridge.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100607,"journal":{"name":"High-speed Railway","volume":"2 1","pages":"Pages 30-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949867824000126/pdfft?md5=73a24e63746c889095a3e5b568b432c7&pid=1-s2.0-S2949867824000126-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139887243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
