An analytical model for the prediction of thermal track buckling in dual gauge tracks

Villalba Sanchis, Ignacio; Insa Franco, Ricardo; Salvador Zuriaga, Pablo; Martínez Fernández, Pablo (SAGE Publications, 2018)

[EN] In rail transport, track gauge is one of the principal factors that condition the passage of trains. For technical and economic reasons, in some circumstances it is necessary to build and operate the so-called dual ...
An artificial neural network model as a preliminary track design tool

Montalbán Domingo, María Laura; Fernández-Villa, J. A.; Masanet Sendra, Claudio; Real Herráiz, Julia Irene (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2015)

The formula derived from Zimmermann s theory is commonly used in railway track design. However, this formula depends on variables such as the ballast coefficient, which are difficult to determine. In recent years, numerical ...
An Energy-efficient Metro Speed Profiles for Energy Savings: Application to the Valencia Metro

Villalba Sanchis, Ignacio; Salvador Zuriaga, Pablo (Elsevier, 2016)

[EN] Nowadays one of the main priorities for metro line operators is the reduction of energy consumption, due to the environmental impact and economic cost. In order to achieve this objective different strategies can be ...
Analysis of false waves in numerical sea simulations

Giménez Valentín, Marcos Herminio; Sánchez Carratalá, Carlos Rafael; Medina, Josep R. (Elsevier, 1994)

[EN] It is common practice to consider the random sea waves as a succession of discrete waves characterized by individual amplitudes and periods. The zero-up-crossing criterion for discretizing waves, as well as other ...
Analysis of the impact of adverse weather on freeway free-flow speed in Spain

Camacho-Torregrosa, Francisco Javier; García García, Alfredo; Esplugues Belda, Enrique (Transportation Research Board, 2010)

[EN] Weather conditions affect traffic flow characteristics, including speed and capacity. Several studies have stated that rain, snow, wind speed, and visibility loss cause reductions in speed and capacity. Understanding ...
Analysis of the influence of 3D coordination on the perception of horizontal curvature using driving simulator

García García, Alfredo; Tarko, Andrew; Dols Ruiz, Juan Francisco; Moreno Chou, Ana Tsui; Calatayud, D. (Carlos Benedetto, 2011)

[EN] The presented research used a driving simulator to study the effect of isolated vertical crest curves overlapped with horizontal curves on driver¿s perception and behavior. The curves were consistent with the existing ...
Analysis of the influence of cracked sleepers under static loading on ballasted railway tracks

Montalbán Domingo, María Laura; Zamorano Martin, C.; Palenzuela Aviles, C.; Real Herráiz, Julia Irene (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)

The principal causes of cracking in prestressed concrete sleepers are the dynamic loads induced by track irregularities and imperfections in the wheel-rail contact and the in-phase and out-of-phase track resonances. The ...
Analysis of the Influence of Geometric Design Consistency on Vehicle CO2 Emissions

Llopis-Castelló, David; Camacho-Torregrosa, Francisco Javier; García García, Alfredo (Elsevier, 2019)

[EN] Highway vehicles driving on rural roads account for more than 50% of all CO2 emissions produced by the transportation sector in Europe. Although the policy measures to mitigate Greenhouse Gas emissions are increasing, ...
Analysis of the influence of under sleeper pads on the railway vehicle/track dynamic interaction in transition zones

Insa Franco, Ricardo; Salvador Zuriaga, Pablo; Inarejos Mesa, Javier; Roda Buch, Alejandro (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2012)

[EN] Sharp changes in the vertical stiffness levels of a track can increase train and infrastructure deterioration to the point where there is a serious risk of a derailment. Major overloading and unloading forces are ...
Analysis of the Logistics of Home Delivery of Food and Household Goods. Implementation in Consum in the Valencia Area. Proposals for Improvement

Arroyo-López, María Rosa; Colomer Ferrandiz, José Vicente (Elsevier, 2016)

[EN] The problem of urban distribution in large cities, particularly the home delivery of goods, does not have a simple solution, given that it involves a range of different factors and parties with different interests. ...
