Special Issue COMPRAIL – Railway Engineering, Design and Operation International Journal of TRANSPORT TM Volume 1, Number 3, 2017 SPECIALISSUE Objectives The International Journal of Transport Development and Integration covers all transportation modes and the general topic of transport systems, with particular emphasis on their integration and harmonisation. The Journal addresses the areas of urban and road transportation, maritime and fluvial transport, rail and aviation, and topics related to logistics, optimisation and complex systems, amongst others. The growing need for integration is partly to respond to the many advances that are taking place in transportation and in order to achieve better uses of all systems, with the subsequent gains in energy efficiency. There is also the need for integration of transportation with telecommunications systems and IT in order to improve safety, security and efficiency. The Journal aims to report on advanced railways transport modes, including passenger, freight and transit systems. It welcomes contributions in the field of marine and fluvial transport. The Journal also covers papers resulting from the rapid growth in air freight and passenger transportation, together with the need to develop the required airport facilities. Transportation is one of the largest consumers of energy, particularly hydrocarbons, and has a considerable share of the economics of governments, industry and households. COORDINATOR C. A.

Int. J. Transp. Dev. Integr., Vol. 1, No. 3 (2017) iii PREFACE The papers contained in this issue are a selection of those presented at the Conference on Railway Engineering, Design and Operation (COMPRAIL16) which took place in Madrid, organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology. The Meeting, which started in Frankfurt in 1987, has been successfully reconvened every two years in different locations around the world. The Conference aims to present and discuss the use of advanced railway systems, promoting general awareness of new developments in the management, design, manufacture and operation of railways and related transport systems. It emphasises the use of computer systems in advanced railway engineering. Modern railway engineering attracts a variety of disciplines including managers, consultants, designers of train control systems and computer specialists, in addition to railway engineers. This is reflected in the contents of this issue, which also demonstrates the diversity and the international character of modern railway engineering development. The papers contained in this issue, as well as all others presented at the Wessex Institute Conferences are archived in the Institute’s eLibrary (witpress.com/elibrary) where they are permanently available to the international community. The Editors Madrid, 2016 B. Davydov et al., Int. J. Transp. Dev. Integr., Vol. 1, No. 3 (2017) 307–317 StoCHASTIC MODEL FOR THE REAL-TIME TRAIN RESCHEDULING B. DAVYdov1, V. CHEbotAREV2 & K. KABLUkovA2 1Far Eastern State Transport University, Russia. 2Computing Center, Far Eastern Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia. ABSTRACT The article explores the problem of train rescheduling based on the actual situation. The proposed sto- chastic model uses specific distributions of operating times which are dependent on the current traffic conditions. The arrival time distribution is considered as a result of adjusting the train trajectory by speed control. The results of modelled arrival distributions correspond well with the experimental data received at the Russian Railways. The proposed model is used for prevention of sequence-of-trains conflicts and violations of connections. The basis of deviation prediction is two-train model of mesa- level which uses actual features of scattering of the operation times both at sites and at stations. The article also proposed a new measure of arrival delay which considers the share of satisfied passengers. Keywords: local adjustments, online rescheduling, stochastic mesa-mode, train traffic. 1 INTRODUCTION Modelling the train traffic on the railway section is necessary for the optimal schedule

Llorca Copyright © 2018 Mariano Gallo. Tis is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. A hedonic model for estimating the efects of transit systems on real estate values is specifed and calibrated for the city of Naples. Te model is used to estimate the external benefts concerning property values which may be attributed to the Naples metro at the present time and in two future scenarios. Te results show that only high-frequency metro lines have appreciable efects on real estate values, while low-frequency metro lines and bus lines produce no signifcant impacts. Our results show that the impacts on real estate values of the metro system in Naples are signifcant, with corresponding external benefts estimated at about 7.2 billion euros or about 8.5% of the total value of real estate assets. 1. Introduction lower environmental impacts produced by less use of private cars, investments in transit systems, especially in railways Urban transit systems play a fundamental role for the social and metros, may generate an appreciable increase in property and economic development of large urban areas, as well as values in the zones served; this beneft should be explicitly signifcantly afecting the quality of life in such areas.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

  • Transportation the Conference Will Be Held in North Zhongshan Road
    Transportation The conference will be held in North Zhongshan Road campus of East China Normal University (ECNU). The address is: No. 3663, North Zhongshan Road, Putuo, Shanghai. The hotel where all participants will stay is Yifu Building (逸夫楼) located on the campus. Arrival by flights: There are two airports in Shanghai: the Pudong Airport in east Shanghai and the Hongqiao Airport in west Shanghai. Both are convenient to get to the North Zhongshan Road campus of ECNU. At the airport, you can take taxi or metro to North Zhongshan Road Campus of ECNU. Taxi is recommended in terms of its convenience and time saving. Our students will be there for helping you to find the taxi. By taxi From Pudong Airport: about one hour and 200 CNY when traffic is not busy. From Hongqiao Airport: about 30 minutes and 60 CNY when traffic is not busy. Please print the following tips if you like “请带我去华东师范大学中山北路校区正门” in advance and show it to the taxi driver. The Chinese words in tips mean "Please take me to the main gate of North Zhongshan Road Campus of ECNU". By metro From Pudong Airport: 1. Metro Line 2 (6:00 - 22:00)->Zhongshan Park (中山公园) station (Note: exchange at Guanglan Road station(广兰路)), then take taxi for about 10 minutes and 14 CNY cost to North Zhongshan Road Campus of ECNU, or take the bus 67 for 2 stops and get off at ECNU station(华东师大站)instead. 2.
