  Halcrow in Australasia - traction and rolling stock 

  http://www.halcrow.com/html/our_regions/australasia/australasia_services_traction.htm

  Australasia: services Traction and rolling stock Halcrow in Australia has a strong capability in freight, passenger and light rail rolling stock strategy, management and engineering. The strong local team ... is supplemented by the full international resources of the Halcrow Group and offers expertise in: Maintenance and asset management . Recent projects include preparation of the maintenance specification and contract negotiation for the supply of maintenance for a 15-year period for 31 x 3-car electric multiple units for the New MetroRail project in Perth, Western Australia and condition assessment of the total fleet of passenger rolling stock in Auckland, New Zealand. New-build and refurbished rolling stock specification and project management. Our extensive skills in this area include preparation of tender documents for RailCorp’s PPP project to replace 500 cars in the Sydney metropolitan system; and specification of new freight locomotives and wagons for a major Australian freight fo   [More...] [Less...]

  Optimization of an MRT Train Schedule: Reducing Maximum Traction Power by Using Genetic Algorithms Chen, J.-F.; Lin, R.-L.; Liu, Y.-C. Power Systems, IEEE Transactions on Volume 20, Issue 3, Aug. 2005 ... Page(s): 1366 - 1372 Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/TPWRS.2005.851939 Summary: Because of the traction power load characteristics of mass rapid transit (MRT) systems, a significant difference exists between the peak and valley of the traction power load curve. Furthermore, an extremely high traction power peak occurs if numerous trains are accelerating simultaneously. Careful train scheduling can avoid the simultaneous acceleration of too many trains, thus reducing maximum traction power. This paper employs genetic algorithms to optimize train scheduling and uses the Kaohsiung MRT system as an example. Simulation results show that the proposed method can significantly reduce the maximum traction power. » View citation and abstract Log in by entering your IEEE Web Account Username and P   [More...] [Less...]
