Report 2011 KTH Railway Group in 2011 KTH Railway Group was formed in 1988 as an informal introduction of the new European train control system ETCS organization to support and coordinate expertise in the area of was discussed lively. Instead of blaming each other all parties railway technology at KTH. Since 1996, the Railway Group is should agree on common strategies for the best of the whole. a formal research and development centre in rail technology Centers like KTH Railway Group have as one of their main at KTH. The main tasks are research, higher education tasks to take a holistic view to get the most for the railway at undergraduate and postgraduate level, and training for sector. employees in the railway field. The funding is regulated This status report gives an impression of the diversity of by an agreement between KTH, the Swedish Transport activities in research and education that are carried out. In our Administration (Trafikverket), Bombardier Transportation, opinion the importance of railway research is only increasing. Stockholm Public Transport (SL), the Swedish Train In an EU white paper from 2011, for example, it is said Operators (Tågoperatörerna) and Interfleet Technology. that “30% of road freight over 300 km should shift to other Thus KTH Railway Group has more than 20 years of modes such as rail or waterborne transport by 2030, and more experience of working multidisciplinary. It consists today than 50% by 2050”. This is not possible without a dramatic of nine research groups of which each group represents one development of both railway infrastructure and rolling or more disciplines, i.e. in principle all competencies in the stock. We are looking forward to contribute to a positive railway area are covered. This makes KTH Railway Group development of railway traffic together with our partners also quite unique and has throughout the years enabled us to in the coming years. If you have any questions do not hesitate successfully carry out several major research programmes to contact me or any other member of the KTH Railway with a broad approach – covering not only technique but also Group. e.g. market analysis – together with our partners. The concept Professor Sebastian Stichel September 2011 for the Regina train running in Sweden, Norway and China Director is a product of one of these programmes. At the time this report is printed the “Gröna Tåget” programme is about to be finished. It has accomplished a further development of the Regina train to run at speeds up to 303 km/h. KTH Railway Group is also an important voice in the discussions on how to increase transport capacity on a more and more crowded Swedish railway network and on whether new high-speed lines in Sweden should be built. This spring we have started a co-operation with the Rail Transportation and Engineering Center of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, to further broaden our research network especially on heavy freight traffic. In September 2011 I participated on a large conference on Railway Vehicles in Graz in Austria. The most important conclusion as well from presentations as from discussion is that it has to be pointed out again and again that Railways are an integrated system. To only look at one part inevitably leads to sub-optimization that does not minimize the cost for the whole system. Infrastructure managers for example Professor would like to see more track friendly vehicles. However, Sebastian Stichel, there are no incentives for operators today to use vehicles that Director of the KTH perform better than just fulfilling existing standards.

  • Railway Power Supply System Models for Static Calculations in a Modular Design Implementation
    Railway power supply system models for static calculations in a modular design implementation Usability illustrated by case-studies of northern Malmbanan RONNY SKOGBERG Master’s Degree Project Stockholm, Sweden 2013 XR-EE-ES 2013:006 Railway power supply system models for static calculations in a modular design implementation Usability illustrated by case-studies of northern Malmbanan RONNY SKOGBERG Master of Science Thesis Royal Institute of Technology School of Electrical Engineering Electric Power Systems Stockholm, Sweden, 2013 Supervisors: Lars Abrahamsson, KTH Mario Lagos, Transrail AB Examiner: Lennart Söder XR-EE-ES 2013:006 Abstract Several previous theses and reports have shown that voltage variations, and other types of supply changes, can influence the performance and movements of trains. As part of a modular software package for railway focused calculations, the need to take into account for the electrical behavior of the system was needed, to be used for both planning and operational uses. In this thesis, different static models are presented and used for train related power flow calculations. A previous model used for converter stations is also extended to handle different configurations of multiple converters. A special interest in the train type IORE, which is used for iron ore transports along Malmbanan, and the power systems influence to its performance, as available modules, for mechanical calculations, in the software uses the same train type. A part of this project was to examine changes in the power systems performance if the control of the train converters were changed, both during motoring and regenerative braking. A proposed node model, for the static parts of a railway power system, has been used to simplify the building of the power system model and implementation of the simulation environment.

    Delays and Timetabling for Passenger Trains CARL-WILLIAM PALMQVIST FACULTY OF ENGINEERING | LUND UNIVERSITY 2019 317 Travel by train has increased steadily for the last 30 years. In order to build trust in and shift even more traffic to railways, more trains must arrive on time. In practice, many train delays are caused by small disturbances at stations, which add up. One issue is that the scheduled dwell times are simply too short. Another is that punctuality falls quickly if it is either warm or cold. A third is that interactions between trains rarely go as planned. One suggestion for how to reduce delays is to paint markings that show where passengers should wait. Another is to remove switches, so that remaining ones can be better maintained. A third is to make railways more resilient to the weather variations of today, and to the climate changes of tomorrow. Cost-effective improvements can also be made with timetables. More of the planning can be automated, so that planners can focus more on setting appropriate dwell times and on improving the timetabling guidelines. This way, many more trains can be on time.

Projektledare: Madeleine Nilsson, [email protected], Region Skåne. Projektledare för Skånes del i OECD TR Megaregion Western Scandinavia 1 Foreword Region Skåne and the City of Helsingborg, together with partners in Western Sweden and the Oslo region, have commissioned the OECD to conduct a so-called Territorial Review of the Megaregion Western Scandinavia. A review of opportunities and potential for greater integration and cooperation between the regions and cities in Western Scandinavia. This report is a brief summary of the supporting data submitted by Skåne to the OECD in December 2016 and mainly contains regional trends, strengths and weaknesses. The report largely follows the arrangement of all the supporting data submitted to the OECD, however, the policy sections have been omitted. All the data sets have been produced by a number of employees of Region Skåne and the City of Helsingborg. During the spring, corresponding reports have been produced for both Western Sweden and the Oslo region. The first study mission was conducted by the OECD in January 2017, where they met with experts and representatives from Skåne and the Megaregion. In late April, the OECD will be visiting Skåne and the Megaregion again with peer reviewers from Barcelona, Vienna and Vancouver for a second round of study mission. The OECD’s final report will be presented and decided upon within the OECD Regional Development Policy Committee (RDPC) in December 2017, and subsequently the OECD Territorial Review Megaregion Western Scandinavia will be published.
