High Speed Trains

The design and durability of high-speed railway lines is a major challenge in the field of railway transportation. In France, 40 years of feedback on the field behavior of ballasted tracks led to improvements in the design rules. However, the settlement and wear of ballast, caused by dynamic stresses at high frequencies, remains a major problem on high-speed tracks leading to high maintenance costs. Studies have shown that this settlement is linked to the high acceleration produced in the ballast layer by high-speed trains traveling on the track, disrupting the granular assembly. The “Bretagne–Pays de la Loire” high-speed line (BPL HSL), with its varied subgrade conditions, represents the first large-scale application of asphalt concrete (GB) as the ballast sublayer. This line includes 77 km of conventional track with a granular sublayer of unbound granular material (UGM) and 105 km of track with an asphalt concrete sublayer under the ballast. During construction, instruments such as accelerometers, anchored deflection sensors, and strain gages, among others, were installed on four sections of the track. This paper examines the instrumentation as well as the acquisition system installed on the track. The data processing is explained first, followed by a presentation of the ViscoRail software, developed for modeling railway tracks. The bituminous section’s behavior and response is modeled using a multilayer dynamic response model, implemented in the ViscoRail software. A good match between experimental and calculated results is highlighted.

Railway Operation

The optimization problems of train timetabling and platforming are two crucial problems in high-speed railway operation; these problems are typically considered sequentially and independently. With the construction of high-speed railways, an increasing number of interactions between trains on multiple lines have led to resource assignment difficulties at hub stations. To coordinate station resources for multiline train timetables, this study fully considered the resources of track segments, station throat areas, and platforms to design a three-part space-time (TPST) framework from a mesoscopic perspective to generate a train timetable and station track assignment simultaneously. A 0-1 integer programming model is proposed, whose objective is to minimize the total weighted train running costs. The construction of a set of incompatible vertexes and links facilitates the expression of difficult constraints. Finally, example results verify the validity and practicability of our proposed method, which can generate conflict-free train timetables with a station track allocation plan for multiple railway lines at the same time.

Aerodynamic Brake

With the rapid development of high-speed railway in China, the aerodynamic brake is very likely to be an important emergency braking mode of high-speed train in the future. This paper takes aerodynamic braking wing as the object, and uses the finite element software to divide the meshes, then analyses the model influenced by static stress. After simulating the vibratory frequency response of the model in the flow field, it finds that the largest deformation happens in the middle of the upper edge of the wind wing, when the wind speed gets to 500km/h and the load frequency to 4Hz. Some conclusions of this thesis can provide reference for researching the applying the aerodynamic brake in the high-speed trains and laying the foundation for solving the riding and braking safety problems.

Hybrid Beamforming

With the increasingly demand for reliable mobile communication service in the high-speed railway (HSR) system, the service stability of HSR communication is of great concern in recent research. Focusing on ensuring the quality of services (QoS) and system throughput, massive multi-input multi-output (massive MIMO) and beamforming technologies have been widely applied. In this paper, aiming to minimize the communication outage probability (OP) and not to decrease spectrum efficiency (SE) too much, we propose a fast HBF (F-HBF) scheme for HSR communications. The proposed scheme uses a low-complexity beam-searching algorithm to trace high-speed trains in real time. The simulation results verify that the proposed scheme can significantly reduce OP without too much SE degradation.

Track Deformation

Deformations of high-speed railways accumulate over time and affect the geometry of the track, thus affecting the running safety of trains. This article proposes a new method to map the relationship between dynamic responses of high-speed trains and additional bridge deformations. A train–track–bridge coupled model is established to determine relationship between the dynamic responses (e.g. accelerations and wheel–rail forces) of the high-speed trains and the track deformations caused by bridge pier settlement, girder end rotation, and girder camber. The dynamic responses are correlated with the track deformation. The mapping relationship between bridge deformations and running safety of trains is determined. To satisfy the requirements of safety and riding comfort, the suggested upper thresholds of pier settlement, girder end rotation, and girder camber are 22.6 mm, 0.92‰ rad, and 17.2 mm, respectively. This study provides a method that is convenient for engineers in evaluation and maintenance of high-speed railway bridges.
