A silt curtain is also known as a sediment barrier or turbidity curtain, and it plays a vital role in any marine construction project. These barriers prevent silt and sediment from flowing into unintended places. This guide is intended to assist...
2- Track Dynamic Inspection
Track dynamic inspection is the geometric state detection of the line by the train at a constant speed. At present, track dynamic inspection has formed a detection system with comprehensive inspection cars and track...
The train transport is the one of the important methods of transportation that transfers passengers and goods on tracked vehicles running on rails. The railway track comprises various equipment, including but not limited to rail, sleeper, ballast,...
Wheels are critical components of trains. Wheel-set faults are the most important cause of train accidents, according to a comparison between the mechanical components of the train. Many defects affect the smooth revolutions of wheels....
Ballast under the track gradually shifts with time because of natural forces and trains passing over them. A lack of attention to this will result in a decreased ride quality of trains as the quality of the track declines. In the worst cases,...
A railway system consists of thousands of moving parts and complex mechanical and electrical systems. For a railway service to be reliable and safe, the equipment needs to be kept in good working order, while regular maintenance is essential. Lack...
The high safety and comfort expectations under varying conditions have required the development of brake systems in railway vehicles. The main factors affecting the performance and function of the brake systems are braking force, mass and speed of...
Urban rail transit in Canada encompasses a broad range of rail mass transit systems, including commuter rail, rapid transit, light rail, and streetcar systems. For Canadian urban centers, developing public rail transit infrastructure is both an...
Rail transport is an integral part of Canada's transportation system, with more than 46,000 km of tracks. There are approximately 10 billion dollars generated by the Canadian rail transport industry per year. Ninety-five percent of that revenue is...
With more than 46,000 km of tracks, the rail transport industry is essential to Canada's transportation system. In Canada, the rail transport industry generates approximately $10 billion per year—95% of which comes from rail freight operations and...
Rail tracks are undoubtedly the most heavily loaded structural components in the railway industry. With increasing train speed, axle load, and traffic density, rail defects are becoming more severe than ever. According to the European Railway...
Ballast plays an essential role in the stability of railway track systems. A conventional double-track line contains about 4000 m3 of ballast per kilometer, depending on the track type and the lines' spacing. A conventional double-track line...
Today, waterway safety is more critical than ever. To keep public access away from dangerous locations, to create a safety barrier to prevent the passage of canoes, dinghies, and other similar small craft, to transfer the casualties to the shore...
For a well-functioning transportation system, railway infrastructure maintenance is crucial. Several different activities are involved in maintenance work, which requires considerable resources and money. European countries spend an average of 70...
There are several ways to raise the railroad's performance, capacity, dependability, speed, and safety. Big Data is one of the newest solutions that can improve these factors, but it can be challenging to accomplish. The railways in North America...
The spread of pollution on the surface of the world's waters makes floating booms an essential tool for controlling and directing waste. There are many types and applications of floating boom barriers. For more information, you can refer to the...
Today, environmental problems in the ocean and coastal waters have become significant challenges for governments and companies. These problems include oil spills, floating trash, debris, aquatic weed, etc. Floating booms are one of the most...
