Recuperation of Regenerative Braking Energy in Electric Rail Transit Systems
<p>Electric rail transit systems are large consumers of energy. In trains with regenerative braking capability, a fraction of the energy used to power a train is regenerated during braking. This regenerated energy, if not properly captured, is typically dumped in the form of heat to avoid …

Evaluating the robustness of crew schedules for rail transit systems
Crew scheduling has traditionally been the last step in the process of service planning, and it has traditionally aimed at minimizing manpower costs because it was assumed that the crew schedule does not directly impact service quality. There has been a growing recognition that crew schedules do in …

A New Procedure for Scoring Rail Transit Connections to U.S. Airports
25 airports have a connection with the local rail transit system, but each is unique. Variables such as network size, train frequency, type of airport station, time, and cost vary by airport. Both airport passengers and planners should have a technical basis of selecting which system is the most …

Rail Transit and Its Influence on Land Use: A Dallas Case Study
Mass transit investments continue to be utilized in many cities as means of dealing with various transportation issues. In Dallas Texas, light rail transit was developed with the hopes of encouraging compact and orderly growth. This research uses the DART system as a case study in examining …

Integrated real-time disruption recovery strategies : a model for rail transit systems
Rail transit systems are subject to frequent disruptions caused by a variety of random disturbances, signal problems and door problems, for example. Such disruptions usually last for 10 to 20 minutes, which degrades the level of service significantly. To improve service reliability, transit …
