[EN] The dual gauge track, in which a third rail is added to the conventional track section, has recently been installed in large sections of the Spanish railway network, allowing the passage of trains of two different ...
[EN] Minimizing energy consumption is a key issue from both an environmental and economic perspectives for railways systems; however, it is also important to reduce infrastructure construction costs. In the present work, ...
[EN] This paper proposes a methodology for the evaluation of the track condition by means of the measurement of the track stiffness. This magnitude is calculated from vertical acceleration data measured at the axle box of ...
In the National Spanish railway network, two types of track gauge with continuous welded rails are currently in use: the Iberian wide gauge (1668 mm) and the standard gauge (1435 mm). In order to improve links and ...
[EN] This paper presents the training of a neural network using consumption data measured in the underground network of Valencia (Spain), with the objective of estimating the energy consumption of the systems. After the ...
