Headway irregularity will decrease the rail traffic systems performances (e.g., line capacity, passengers waiting time, et al), which result from external disturbances (e.g., weather condition, passengers reasons). This paper proposes a real-time dynamical headway adjustment algorithm. By using artificial potential function, trains with different position can gain various potential fields. In this field, each train is attracted or repelled by other trains. Train speed and headway can converge to expected target point under the potential function. Finally, two case studies considering external disturbance are given to verify the availability of the algorithm. The simulation results show the potential function has good robustness against interference.","PeriodicalId":202415,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Intelligent Rail Transportation (ICIRT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123035719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A dynamic weighted particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed to solve the model. Taking Nanjing South to Cangzhou section as an example, simulation experiments were conducted under the conditions of changes in the number of trains, train delays, and late train stations.

The ultra-high operating speed of the HSR requires that its operation control system equipped with complete safety protection facility to ensure that the train can be in a safe state under any circumstances. When an alarm for bad weather is triggered by sensors along the railway line, the dispatcher usually issues a temporary speed restriction (TSR) command for the influenced geographical area according to the severity degree of the situation. This paper mainly based on the Chinese Train Control System Level 2 (CTCS-2), establishes a mathematical model combining rescheduling and train control on how to determine the issuing timing of the TSR and its implementation plan, thereby avoiding emergency braking during train operation under adverse weather. A numerical experiment is carried out to validate the effectiveness of the model. The results show that the optimized issuing time of the speed restriction can ensure that the train decelerates before reaching the speed limit section and reduce the delays at the destination effectively.","PeriodicalId":202415,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Intelligent Rail Transportation (ICIRT)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129684272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maintenance and operational records were cleaned for reliability analysis. Life and recurrent event data analysis methods were used to determine statistical failure distributions associated with the door subsystem or its critical component failure modes. These statistical distributions were used to simulate and predict the overall door subsystem performance metrics such as availability and mean time between failures.","PeriodicalId":202415,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Intelligent Rail Transportation (ICIRT)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131359939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
