Ballast flying problems obsess the high speed railway developments, causing damages to the train and deteriorations to the rail. In the paper, DEM is used to conduct ballast flying mechanism microscopic study, results show ballast flying increases with train dynamic force, and decreases with ballast size and friction coefficient, ballast flying counteracting measures are presented, such as ballast bed parameter and ballast glue. In the end, future possible microscopic ballast flying model method is presented by DEM coupled with CFD.

The application of high-speed railway data, which is an important component of China's transportation science data sharing, has embodied the typical characteristics of data-intensive computing. A reasonable and effective data placement strategy is needed to deploy and execute data-intensive applications in the cloud computing environment. Study results of current data placement approaches have been analyzed and compared in this paper. Combining the semi-definite programming algorithm with the dynamic interval mapping algorithm, a hierarchical structure data placement strategy is proposed. The semi-definite programming algorithm is suitable for the placement of files with various replications, ensuring that different replications of a file are placed on different storage devices. And the dynamic interval mapping algorithm could guarantee better self-adaptability of the data storage system. It has been proved both by theoretical analysis and experiment demonstration that a hierarchical data placement strategy could guarantee the self-adaptability, data reliability and high-speed data access for large-scale networks.

<p>A performance-based design (PBD) framework for high-speed railway suspension bridge is proposed from aspects of structural, operational and public requirements. Stiffness indexes are discussed. Results show that target performance shall include stiffness, strength, fatigue, stability, track geometry, train operation performance, human safety and public loss, etc. Case study results of a high-speed railway suspension bridge show that large cable force provide gravity stiffness with the vertical deflection to main span length is 1/488 under static live load. The longitudinal displacement (LD) is restricted to a proper value by arrangement of inclined stay cable at the mid-span and the viscous dampers between pylon and stiffening girder. LD at girder end under the total live load is 261mm. And the longitudinal drift mode shape appears later than symmetrical transverse and vertical bending. The vertical rotation angle at girder end is only 0.77‰ under ZK load (0.8UIC) for passenger-dedicated line by setting auxiliary pier at side span of the bridge. Considering the operational performance, elastic deformation of wind-resistant bearings at girder end shall be restricted to decrease the transverse rotation angle which has the limit value from 1.0‰ to 2.5‰ under different train speed. And the integral design of bridge expansion joint (BEJ) and rail expansion joint (REJ) at girder end is required.</p>

Objective: To consider the main approaches to organization of systems and communication networks on high-speed railway transport and provide cyber security on the basis of current international and home practice in the given sphere. Methods: Game-theory approach, hierarchy analysis method as well as topological transformation of stochastic networks were applied in the given study. Results: It was detected that a single realization of organizational and technical measures on cyber security cannot provide strong security from threats of cyber security during a long period of time; the latter is connected with constant development of data infrastructure, modification of methods, as well as the methods of attacks, potential attacker opportunities and other factors. Telecommunication networks’ security (TKS) of OJSC “Russian railways” and high-speed railway lines (VSM) from cyber impact is a systemic problem, for the solution of which fundamental research studies are to be conducted, aimed at the detection of basic patterns of information confrontation and directions of TKS cyber security provision and, subsequently, research and development activities for creating an automated communication control system of OJSC “Russian railways” and VSM, the constituent part of which is a subsystem of TKS information security. It is advisable to create an expert council based at regional transport universities, which provide extensive analysis conduct of systems and means of providing information security offered by the industry, as well as cyber security of OJSC “Russian railways” and VSM critically important systems including TKS. Practical importance: The realization of the suggested approach to OJSC “Russian railways” and VSM cyber security provision will make it possible to form the conditions for safe functioning of elements of information infrastructure, provide the creation, effective functioning and the improvement of cyber security control system, as well as to minimize damage from possible attack attempts.

Considering the complex characteristics of the track structure in railway turnouts, it is difficult and also expensive to experimentally study rail damages; therefore, numerical methods are an effective alternative. This study presents a numerical method to simulate rail surface-initiated rolling contact fatigue in the switch panel of railway turnouts. This method includes simulation of the vehicle–turnout wheel–rail dynamic interaction, analysis of the wheel–rail multipoint non-Hertzian rolling contact that considers the relative motion between the switch and stock rails, and calculation of the accumulated rail surface-initiated rolling contact fatigue. The accumulated rail surface-initiated rolling contact fatigue after the vehicles passed a turnout switch panel 80 times (the average number of vehicles running on the Chinese high-speed railway lines per day) in the through route with facing move was simulated based on this procedure. The result showed that the maximum surface-initiated rolling contact fatigue damage of the switch rail and the stock rail was 1.57 × 10−2 and 0.62 × 10−2, respectively. Surface-initiated rolling contact fatigue in the switch rail mainly occurred at the gauge angle, and in the stock rail it mainly occurred at the center of the rail. In addition, the influence of track parameters (rail inclination, track gauge, and friction coefficient) is analyzed. The friction coefficient influenced the rail surface-initiated rolling contact fatigue. When the coefficient exceeded 0.3 in particular, the rail rolling contact fatigue damage increased sharply. Hence, suitable friction control measures should be taken during rail maintenance in order to mitigate the rail surface-initiated rolling contact fatigue damage, e.g. by keeping the wheel–rail friction coefficient below 0.3.
