Railway urban turnout is a special track system used to divert a train from a particular direction or a particular track onto other directions or other tracks. It is a structural grillage system that consists of steel rails, points (or called “switches”), crossings, steel plates, rubber pads, insulators, fasteners, screw spikes, beam bearers (either tim- ber, polymer, steel, or concrete), ballast and formation. There are two types of turnouts, a conventional turnout and a tangential turnout. Standard conventional turnouts are designed typically for straight main line track. The combination of switch length, heel angle, and cross rate defines the turnout …

Identifying critical risks in projects has become a core step in project risk management process; however, the nature of this step can be complex and unstructured, suggesting a benefit in research towards prioritizing project risks on the basis of a cogent method. This paper presents a Gray Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (GDEMATEL) method for prioritizing sources of project risk within a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) framework. The framework categorizes sources of risk via the Project Management Institutes’ (PMI) Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS). For this study, project expert judgments and preferences are the source of knowledge about project risk. …

Global Sensitivity Analysis Applied To Model Inversion Problems: A Contribution To Rail Condition Monitoring, René Schenkendorf, Jörn Groos May 2015

Global Sensitivity Analysis Applied To Model Inversion Problems: A Contribution To Rail Condition Monitoring, René Schenkendorf, Jörn Groos

René Schenkendorf

Rising demands on railroad infrastructure operator by means of profitability and punctuality call for advanced concepts of Prognostics and Health Management. Condition based preventive maintenance aims at strengthening the rail mode of transport through an optimized scheduling of maintenance actions based on the actual and prognosticated infrastructure condition, respectively. When applying model-based algorithms within the framework of Prognostics and Health Management unknown model parameters have to be identified first. Which of these parameters should be known as precisely as possible can be figured out systematically by a sensitivity analysis. A comprehensive global sensitivity analysis, however, might be prohibitive by means …

The development of commercial maintenance and overhaul manuals for aerospace engines is requisite for certification by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Robust content management systems are used for authoring, publishing, and maintaining these manuals which must meet general industry standards as well as unique company requirements. Therefore, system selection is complex, requiring review of numerous criteria of both quantitative and qualitative nature and is highly dependent on expert judgment which includes uncertainty. In this paper, a major aerospace company was used as a case study for an integrated Fuzzy-Grey Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methodology for the selection of a technical …

Mohammadsadegh Mobin

This paper studies the ambulance deployment of the Tehran-Qom highway emergency medical service (EMS) system. The response time of EMS to an emergency call can have impact on the users in terms of the life and death, and this performance metric is evaluated using the proposed hypercube queuing model. The model is based on spatially distributed queuing theory and Markovian analysis approximations, and it is one of the most effective approaches for analyzing emergency response systems. In this research, performance measures of the EMS including workloads and mean response times are evaluated using the hypercube model. Modification to the existing …

Topsis As A Method To Populate Risk Matrix Axes, Christian Salmon, Mohammadsadegh Mobin, Afshan Roshani

Mohammadsadegh Mobin

This research utilizes TOPSIS (a Multi-Criteria ranking methodology) to populate the axes of a risk matrix when modeling risk exposure onboard commercial fishing vessels with the intent to identify mitigating interventions in low risk settings for possible transfer to high risk settings. The specific hazard of interest is the release of refrigerants into confined spaces onboard commercial fishing vessels. The metrics of risk are: 1) expectation that refrigerants are released onboard vessels, and 2) consequence of releases that have occurred. To model expectation: data were collected on the United States’ commercial fisheries, including location and number of participating vessels. These …

Multi-Objective X-Bar Control Chart Design By Integrating Nsga-Ii And Data Envelopment Analysis, Mohammadsadegh Mobin, Zhaojun Li, Mahdi Massahi Khoraskani

Mohammadsadegh Mobin

Control charts are widely used in industry to establish and maintain statistical control of a process for quality improvement. Economic use of a control chart calls for designing the optimal parameters for sample size, sampling frequency, and the control limits for the chart. This paper investigates the X-bar control chart design through a two-stage multi-objective optimization process. The multi-objective formulation reflects the multiple objective needs in designing an X-bar control chart. For example, these objectives may include average run length when in statistical control, the type-I error, and the detection power. The optimization process first searches the Pareto Frontiers using …

Horizontal Well’S Path Planning: An Optimal Switching Control, Zhaohua Gong, Kok Lay Teo, Chongyang Liu, Enmin Feng Jan 2015

Horizontal Well’S Path Planning: An Optimal Switching Control, Zhaohua Gong, Kok Lay Teo, Chongyang Liu, Enmin Feng

Chongyang Liu

In this paper, we consider a three-dimensional horizontal well’s path planning problem, where the well’s path evolves as a combination of several constant-curvature smooth turn segments. The problem is formulated as an optimal switching control problem subject to continuous state inequality constraints. By applying the time-scaling transformation and constraint transcription in conjunction with local smooth approximation technique, the optimal switching control problem is approximated by a sequence of optimal parameter selection problems with only box constraints, each of which is solvable by gradient-based optimization techniques. The optimal path planning problems of the wells Ci-16-Cp146 and Jin27 in Liaohe oil field …

Intelligent Items Traceability System – Rfid Vs Qr, Masoud Shakiba, Mandeep Singh Jit Singh, Mardina Abdullah

Masoud Shakiba

Nowadays traceability systems are an inseparable part of international business and are essential in manufacturing and supply chain management systems. The advantages of the traceability system are more obvious for products that are exported and those imported from overseas. Traceability is highly important in food management and for products with short expiry. In recent years there have been several investigations and publications on traceability systems criteria especially in the food industry in the US, Europe and Southeast Asia.
