4. Finding solutions for complex systems : saving traction energy in rail

Abstract

Complex optimisation problems, which are concerned with optimising a given aspect of a complex system, such as time or energy, are difficult to solve. Often a range of solutions exist, and the difficulty lies in determining which solutions to implement in which part of the system. Within this work, a novel method is developed that allows the solver to overcome the key challenges for these types of problems, which are: defining the system parts (subsystems); minimising model complexity; quantifying solution effectiveness; and identifying relationships between solutions and subsystems. The method is demonstrated through application to the problem of railway traction energy saving. Subsystems are defined using quantified network and service characteristics. For each subsystem, the trends between six key solutions and the key performance indicators are analysed using multivariate data analysis and visualisation techniques. The relationships between subsystems are then explored at system level. The analysis determines the suitable solutions for each type of railway, providing information for operators about which solutions to target. Based on the results, the implementation of permanent magnet motor technology is considered, illustrating that the method is a suitable tool for informing further studies.

16. State movement for controlling trains operating under the virtual coupling system

Author

Steele, Heather, Jack, Anson, Ketphat, Naphat, Whiteing, Anthony, and Liu, Ronghui

Abstract

Train Virtual Coupling System (VCS) has been proposed as a new signalling system for controlling trains by building a group of trains as convoys in order to increase line’s capacity. This is achieved because the consecutive trains under the VCS is separated only by a relative braking distance; this is much shorter than the separation distance required in the Fixed Block Signaling (FBS) and Moving Block Signaling systems (MBS). In order to achieve the high capacity obtained from the VCS, the trains in a virtually coupled convoy should keep at a distance as close to the relative braking distance as possible and run at the same speed for maintaining the safe distance between them. In this paper, we propose a distance and velocity difference approach and introduce the multiple state movements for stimulating train’s movement under the VCS. The simulated results show that the capacity can be significantly increased and maximized in which the actual separation distance between trains when they are in convoy state is slightly longer than the minimum safe distance. It could be ensured that the train has proceeded safely in that the actual separation distance is surely longer than the minimum safe distance throughout the operation time period. In addition, we show that the trains can also proceed smoothly, in that a following train catches up with its leading train and joined in the convoy with a stable movement.

17. Notch-based speed trajectory optimisation for high-speed railway automatic train operation

Author

Steele, Heather, Jack, Anson, Feng, Minling, Wu, Chaoxian, Lu, Shaofeng, and Wang, Yihui

Abstract

Automatic train operation (ATO) systems are fast becoming one of the key components of the intelligent high-speed railway (HSR). Designing an effective optimal speed trajectory for ATO is critical to guide the high-speed train (HST) to operate with high service quality in a more energy-efficient way. In many advanced HSR systems, the traction/braking systems would provide multiple notches to satisfy the traction/braking demands. This paper modelled the applied force as a controlled variable based on the selection of notch to realise a notch-based train speed trajectory optimisation model to be solved by mixed integer linear programming (MILP). A notch selection model with flexible vertical relaxation was proposed to allow the traction/braking efforts to change dynamically along with the selected notch by introducing a series of binary variables. Two case studies were proposed in this paper where Case study 1 was conducted to investigate the impact of the dynamic notch selection on train operations, and the optimal result indicates that the applied force can be flexibly adjusted corresponding to different notches following a similar operation sequence determined by optimal train control theory. Moreover, in addition to the maximum traction/braking notches and coasting, medium notches with appropriate vertical relaxation would be applied in accordance with the specific traction/braking demands to make the model feasible. In Case study 2, a comprehensive numerical example with the parameters of CRH380AL HST demonstrates the robustness of the model to deal with the varying speed limit and gradient in a real-world scenario. The notch-based model is able to obtain a more realistic optimal strategy containing dynamic notch selection and speed trajectory with an increase (1.622%) in energy consumption by comparing the results of the proposed model and the non-notch model.

18. Novel approach for validation of innovative modules for railway traffic management systems in a virtual environment

Author

Steele, Heather, Jack, Anson, Liu, Jin, Ulianov, Cristian, Hyde, Paul, Ruscelli, Anna Lina, and Cecchetti, Gabriele

Abstract

To increase operational efficiency, resilience and capacity of the railway system, the development of modern railway traffic management system (TMS) has attracted more and more attention in recent years. To support the development and implementation of the next generation of TMS and related applications, advanced data collection, transmission and processing approaches, digitalised databases, and virtual validation platforms, etc., are required. In the context of the TMS development (addressed by Technology Demonstrator 2.9 of Shift2Rail Innovation Programme 2), this support is to be provided by a scalable, interoperable and standardised communication platform for internal and external communication between different subsystems, applications and clients. This paper outlines the approach of the ongoing OPTIMA project aimed to develop a communication platform demonstrator for railway TMS based on a novel Integration Layer (IL) and its various interfaces to entities including integration layer services, TMS service, rail business service, external services and operator workstations. Further detailed discussion in this paper relates to the approach to validating the communication platform demonstrator as a functional entity, and as a virtual testing environment to validate railway traffic management and other applications. The validation approach for the applications tested on the communication platform demonstrator is also presented. The results of future implementation of this validation approach will be used to assess the functionality of the communications platform demonstrator developed, and the initial TMS applications tested on it, and form an important step towards developing and implementing IL based communications platforms for future TMSs.

19. Use cases for obstacle detection and track intrusion detection systems in the context of new generation of railway traffic management systems

Author

Steele, Heather, Jack, Anson, Hyde, Paul, Ulianov, Cristian, Liu, Jin, Banic, Milan, Simonovic, Milos, and Ristic-Durrant, Danijela

Abstract

In this paper, the concept of Obstacle Detection and Track Intrusion Detection (OD&TID) systems related to the operation of trains is introduced, along with a potential concept for such a system. The main focus of the work presented here is the identification and description of system requirements and Use Cases (UC), their detailed classification, including general UCs for mainline railway and UCs specific to freight, as well as an analysis of the UCs and of the method used. The identified UCs have been organised with respect to the mode of operation, Grade of Automation (GoA), and operating conditions. The UCs were further analysed in different UC scenarios, including the pre-conditions, system response, actions made by OD&TID and associated systems and the post use conditions of the scenarios. The priority for implementation and complexity of each UC are discussed with respect to the probability of scenario occurrence and required interfaces. This work has been carried out as part of the process to evaluate implementation constraints, risks and requirements, and the operational scenarios of the OD&TID developed within the EU-funded Shift2Rail project SMART2, which aims to design and develop a prototype OD&TID system.

20. A risk-informed decision support tool for the strategic asset management of railway track infrastructure

Author

Steele, Heather, Jack, Anson, Sasidharan, Manu, Burrow, Michael Peter Nicholas, Ghataora, Gurmel Singh, and Marathu, Rishi

Abstract

The provision of safe, efficient, reliable and affordable railway transport requires the railway track infrastructure to be maintained to an appropriate condition. Given the constrained budgets under which the infrastructure is managed, maintenance needs to be predicted in advance of track failure, prioritized and identified risks and uncertainties need to be considered within the decision-making process. This paper describes a risk-informed approach that can be used to economically justify railway track infrastructure conditions by comparing on a life-cycle basis infrastructure maintenance costs, train operating costs, travel time costs, safety, social and environmental impacts. The approach represents a step-change for the railway industry as it will enable economic maintenance standards to be derived which considers the needs of the infrastructure operator, but also those of users, train operating companies and the environment. Further, the risk-informed capability of the tool enables asset managers to deal with uncertainties associated with forecasting costs and the effects of track maintenance, and unavailability of data. The Monte Carlo simulation technique and a Fuzzy reasoning approach are used to address safety data uncertainties through probabilistic risk assessment allied to expert opinion. The approach is illustrated using data from three routes on the UK mainline railway network. The results demonstrate that the approach can be used to support strategic and tactical levels of railway asset management to inform plausible design and maintenance strategies that realise the maximum benefit for the available budget.

25. Railway smart grids: Drivers, benefits and challenges.

Author

Steele, Heather, Roberts, Clive, and Hillmansen, Stuart

Abstract

Smart grids are considered to be the 'next generation' of electricity supply systems, capable of increasing supply reliability, availability and energy efficiency through the use of information and communication technologies. Despite these advantages, however, the development of smart grids in rail has lagged behind the domestic sector and other industries, only recently becoming a focus of the future railway. Generally speaking, the technologies suitable for railway smart grids are already being used in other sectors, but the unique socio-political and technological environment of rail makes their implementation challenging. This review explores smart grids in the rail context, focusing on the specific drivers, benefits and challenges for the development of railway smart grids. The necessity of rail as a future transport mode is highlighted, before the following drivers and their related benefits are explored: fossil-fuel reliance, supply reliability, customer participation and the nature of rail traction demand. Finally, the railway power supply system is described and a simple railway smart grid architecture introduced before seven technical challenges are presented against the rail background. These are: interfacing new equipment, electromagnetic compatibility, developing communications, distributed generation, cybersecurity, data and standardisation and regulation. It is hoped that this review will stimulate discussion in the field of railway smart grids and direct research into addressing the railway specific challenges hindering smart grid implementation.

Abstract

Cutaneous paraneoplastic syndromes are a group of dermatoses that demonstrate a range of morphological and pathological findings. These syndromes may precede, be concurrent with, or follow the diagnosis of an underlying malignancy. Treatment of the malignancy is often associated with improvement in or resolution of the mucosal and cutaneous disease; however, this is not the case with paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP). PNP is a rare syndrome that was first described in 1990, and it occurs almost exclusively in patients with lymphocytic neoplasms. Pulmonary manifestations occur in 30% to 40% of cases, and it is the only form of pemphigus that attacks epithelium other than squamous epithelium in an antibody-mediated fashion. The mortality rate for PNP associated with malignancy is greater than 90%. Treatment guidelines are not available, but case series point to the use of rituximab (Rituxan) as well as corticosteroids and various other immunomodulating agents. Here we present a diagnostic and treatment dilemma in a 39-year-old active-duty male who developed PNP in the setting of treatment with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) for grade 3 follicular lymphoma. This case report is followed by a review of the diagnosis and treatment of other cutaneous paraneoplastic syndromes that are associated with hematologic malignancies., Introduction Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is an autoimmune-mediated, blistering, erosive, and painful mucocutaneous disease that is diagnosed almost exclusively in patients with lymphocytic neoplasms. The most commonly associated neoplasms are, in [...]

Abstract

A permeation sampling method for the six phthalate esters that are considered priority pollutants by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) was developed. The permeation sampling device utilizes a silicone polycarbonate membrane through which the analytes are able to permeate through and are collected onto an adsorbent. After a timed sampling period, the samplers were removed from the water and the analytes were extracted from the adsorbent using a desorbing solvent, with the resulting solution analyzed using gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. Time-weighted average (TWA) concentrations of the phthalates in the water were determined by creating plots of amount of analyte collected versus the product of concentration and time (ppm•hr) for each phthalate. Experimentation showed that a linear correlation was obtained between the amount of analyte collected and the product of concentration and time for each phthalate. The effects of different sample solution temperatures and sample stirring rates on the amount of phthalates collected were evaluated. Also, the effect on the permeation rates of the phthalates due to the presence of several potential interferents that are commonly present in water, including: humic acid, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium sulfate, sodium phosphate, sodium nitrate, sodium chloride and pH were studied. An advantage of this method included that minimal amount of solvent used as compared to other liquid-liquid extraction methods which use up to 0.5 L of harmful solvents. In a second part of the study, the six phthalate esters were removed from the adsorbent using thermal desorption rather than solvent extraction. After the sampling period, the analyte collected onto the adsorbent was thermally desorbed using a Thermal Desorption Unit. A stream of helium carried the desorbed analytes into a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) after the sampling period. As in the case of the solvent extraction method, for all six phthalates the resulting TWA plots had linear correlations, allowing for the determination of permeation constants for the phthalates. Using the thermal desorption method it was possible to determine the lag times for each phthalate.
