... risk reduction is illustrated in Figure 2: Due to the boundary conditions and natural restrictions of tunnels the risks must be mitigated in a stepwise approach. The combination of tunnel control system and tunnel automation reduces the risks (green horizontal arrows) on every reduction level according to EU Safety in Railway Tunnels Technical Specification of Interoperability (European Commission, 2014): prevention, mitigation, evacuation, and rescue. ...

The impact of time delays caused by unexpected events on trains spreads along the complex and widely distributed area of the high-speed railway network. Large train arrivals and departures are delayed. Serious social impact and huge loss of economic benefits are incurred. To solve the problems, the dynamic scheduling model of a high-speed train is...
Cold regional tunnels have been encountering numerous frost damages as a result of dynamic changes in hydrothermal conditions of tunnel structural layers. The climate change is recognized as a major contributor for the problems. In this study, the hydrothermal conditions of a high-speed railway tunnel are evaluated under different climate scenarios...
