Scheduling of Ticket Inspectors in Deutsche Bahn Inter-City Express Trains∗
Scheduling of Ticket Inspectors in Deutsche Bahn Inter-City Express Trains∗ Nathan May1, Hai Nguyen2, and Ruby Abrams3 1Department of Mathematics, Washington State University, U.S.A. 2School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, U.K. 3Department of Mathematics, University of Arizona, U.S.A. August 15, 2019 We study the underdeveloped Inspector Scheduling Problem. The Deutsche Bahn want to to maximise the number of passenger tickets inspected given already set train schedules with their limited resources, the passenger ticket inspectors. We formulate this problem as a network flow and implement this as a Mixed Integer Programme. We account for lack of data by estimating Origin-Destination Matrices and discuss complexity of the problem. We obtain empirical results of run time of the algorithm as a function of number of inspectors and conjecture that this problem is NP-hard. We also propose heuristic methods to solve this problem.

Printed by Chalmers Reproservice Göteborg, Sweden, 2010 ii Applicable Directivity Description of Railway Noise Sources XUETAO ZHANG Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Division of Applied Acoustics Chalmers University of Technology Abstract For a sound source, directivity is an important parameter to specify. This parameter also reflects the physical feature of the sound generation mechanism. For example, turbulence sound is of quadrupole directivity while fluid-structure interaction often produces a sound of dipole characteristic. Therefore, to reach a proper directivity description is in fact a process of understanding the sound source in a better way. However, in practice, this is often not a simple procedure. As for railway noise engineering, several noise types of different directivity characters are often mixed together, such as wheel and rail radiation, engine and cooling fan noise, scattered fluid sound around bogies and turbulent boundary layer noise along train side surfaces. -

Operational Experiences with Onboard Diagnosis System for High Speed Trains
Operational Experiences with Onboard Diagnosis System for High Speed Trains R. Sunder, A. Kolbasseff, K. Kieninger, A. Röhm, J. Walter Institute for Safety Technology (ISTec) GmbH Forschungsgelände, 85748 Garching, Federal Republic of Germany 1. INTRODUCTION The primary objective of the project “Onboard diagnosis system for high-speed trains” is to guarantee the high availability of InterCity-Express (ICE) trains during the whole lifetime using condition based maintenance procedures. This ensures also a significant improvement of operational safety of railway vehicles. The detailed specification of an InterCity-Express onboard diagnosis system requires therefore the establishment of broad basis of data and knowledge to determine appropriate sensor positions, measuring principles, assessment algorithms and failure-specific features. Condition monitoring algorithms were tested by failure simulations with ICE trailers on the track. A prototype onboard diagnosis system was specified, realised and installed – operational experiences and lessons learned will be presented. 2. SCOPE OF ICE ONBOARD DIAGNOSIS As a subcontractor of Deutsche Bahn AG, ISTec started in 1999 with generic investigations on incipient failure detection methods for high speed trains. One issue of this contract was a certain know-how transfer from diagnosis systems developed for pump and turbines in nuclear technology to InterCity Express vehicles. From the early beginning it was evident, that there were basic differences between pumps and trains concerning the excitation functions: Stationary operating machines normally are forced by random and steady-state excitations, trains in operation are affected by a mixture of non-linear excitations and transient effects like impacts from the track. Furthermore, trains are running with different speeds on different roadways. -

Fernfahrplan 2012 Langfassung
Jürgen Lorenz 17. November 2011 Vorschau auf den Fernfahrplan 2012 Auch das Fahrplanjahr 2012 ist durch Auswirkungen aus Bautätigkeiten geprägt. Für längerfristige Gleiserneuerungen und –umbauten werden Baukorridore (Bk) eingerichtet. Sie führen zu vielen zeitlich befristeten Ersatzmaßnahmen, oftmals mit deutlichen Fahrzeitverlängerungen. Abweichungen sind im Ansatz erwähnt. Die Streckenhöchstgeschwindigkeit von 230 km/h auf dem viergleisigen Abschnitt Olching – Augsburg wird ab dem Fahrplan 2012 genutzt. Zwischen Stelle und Ashausen stehen vier Gleise zur Verfügung. Ab dem 10. Juni 2012 wird auch der Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg International an den Schienenfernverkehr angeschlossen. ICE-Linie 1 Sprinter Köln – Hamburg ICE-Linie 3 Sprinter Berlin – Frankfurt (Main) Auf diesen Linien gibt es keine Veränderungen im Angebot. ICE-Linie 4 Sprinter Hamburg – Darmstadt Die im letzten Fahrplanjahr eingeführte Verlängerung des ICE 1097 an Fr über Darmstadt hinaus bis Saarbrücken wird zurückgenommen. ICE-Linie 10 Bonn – Berlin ICE 841 begann bisher am Mo in Bielefeld. Der Zug wird ab dem Fahrplanwechsel Mo ab Oldenburg (Oldb) Hbf und Di-Fr ab Bremen Hbf gefahren. ICE 557 Sa/ICE 855 Mo-Fr sowie ICE 858 So-Fr entfallen zwischen Trier und Köln Hbf bzw. Koblenz und Trier. Die Verkehrstage bei ICE 947 zwischen Köln und Düsseldorf werden auf Mo-Sa erweitert, bei ICE 957 jedoch auf So reduziert. Bis zum 31. März werden im Rahmen des Winterprogramms mehrere ICE 2- Leistungen durch ICE 1 bzw. ICE-T ersetzt. Dabei handelt es sich um ICE 951/941 Fr+So sowie ICE 944/954, die durch die Baureihe 401 als ICE 1041 Mo-Do+Sa/ICE 1044 von/nach Köln Hbf ergänzt werden. -
