Alternativas para el transporte aéreo de mercancías.

Mateu Céspedes, José María (2018-03-13)

Este objeto de aprendizaje comienza por exponer las distintas tipologías de aeronaves para el transporte de mercancías, mostrando ejemplos. A continuación se profundiza en las ventajas e inconvenientes del transporte de ...
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 ...
An energy-efficient metro speed profiles for energy savings: application to the Valencia metro

Villalba Sanchis, Ignacio; Salvador Zuriaga, Pablo (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-06-01)

[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 ...
An Evaluation of the Resilient Modulus and Permanent Deformation of Unbound Mixtures of Granular Materials and Rubber Particles from Scrap Tyres to Be Used in Subballast Layers

Hidalgo Sgnes, Carlos; Martínez Fernández, Pablo; Garzón Roca, Julio; Garrido de la Torre, Mª Elvira; Insa Franco, Ricardo (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-06-01)

[EN] Over the last years rubber from scrap tyres has been reused in different civil works such as road embankments and railway platforms due to its resilient properties, low degradation and vibration attenuation. Unfortunately, ...
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)
