Research of system vehicle-track when wheel is scaled
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The interaction between wheel and rail is still a great problem of railway engineering. A mathematical model of the system Vehicle-Track, previously developed by the same authors and a newly developed model of vehicle wheel ... -
Operation of a spark-ignition engine on mixtures of petrol and n-butanol
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The Article analyses the use of n-butanol (biobutanol) in mixtures with petrol in spark-ignition (SI) internal combustion engines (ICE). Analysis of the scientific literature allowed determining that n-butanol content had ... -
Traffic flow prediction using Kalman filtering technique
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Traffic flow prediction is an important research problem in many of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications. The use of Autoregressive Integrated Moving average (ARIMA) or seasonal ARIMA (SARIMA) for ... -
Block inspection policy model with imperfect maintenance for single-unit systems
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)In the presented paper, authors focus on development of mathematical delay-time model for single-unit technical systems with taking into account the assumption of imperfect inspection actions performance. Thus, the briefly ... -
Accident reconstruction and assessment of cyclist's injuries sustained in car-to-bicycle collision
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Cyclists have the largest risk of severe injury when colliding with a motor vehicle. The difference in weight (mass) is huge and the collision energy is mainly absorbed by the lighter ‘object’. A cyclist simulation study ... -
Identification of the vibration environment of railway infrastructure
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The subject matter of vibrations in railway transport is still an ongoing cognitive issue. In terms of an increase of speed, size, as well as weight of rail vehicles, the scale of effects of vibrations generated when a ... -
Assessment of critical infrastructure elements in transport
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The paper describes the long process of developing the transport system of risk assessment models. Researchers in Central European countries many years solved the risk assessment models which are based on the accident ... -
