Systematic review railway infrastructure monitoring: From classic techniques to predictive maintenance by Giovanni Bianchi, Chiara Fanelli, Francesco Freddi, Felice Giuliani, Aldo La Placa

“…Furthermore, by directly correlating actual infrastructure conditions with measured information, SHM can utilise a limited number of sensors installed on critical components such as insulated rail joints. This review starts by clearly describing the different components that make up the railway infrastructure, the monitoring systems currently in use and the technical performance parameters that indicate their health status and goes on to examine the issues related to the SHM and related modern digital tools. …”

Synergistic Optimization Method for URT Network Train Connection Scheme in Peak and Off-Peak Periods by Ruihua Xu, Xuyang Song, Feng Zhou, Fangsheng Wang

“…In this study, we developed a method for coordinating and optimizing the train connection plans of different lines under the conditions of urban rail transit (URT) network operation. The method allows trains of different lines to form good connections at transfer stations, which can shorten the waiting time of passengers for transfers and reduce passenger retention. …”

Coordinated Development of Urban Transportation Structure Optimization and Energy Conservation, and Emission Reduction Under the Low-Carbon Background in Lanzhou, China by Zheming Shi, Yongsheng Qian, Junwei Zeng, Xu Wei, Minan Yang

“…The results indicate that (1) optimizing urban transportation structures can reduce energy consumption and emission levels but cannot achieve the “carbon peaking” goal; (2) developing urban rail transit has a significant positive impact on energy saving and emission reduction; (3) the development of green transportation is closely integrated with and mutually influenced by slow-moving transportation, showing both synergy and constraints; and (4) under the comprehensive restriction scenario, despite higher energy consumption and emission values, better coordination is achieved, making it the most suitable optimization plan aligned with the green transportation development concept.…”
