Active Safety Methodologies of Rail Transportation

Focusing on safe and efficient rail transportation, this book compiles extensive research to provide theoretical and technical insights for rail operations and maintenance. It introduces a comprehensive active safety assurance system that encompasses quantitative state identification and prediction of train components, as well as safety and reliability assessment methods. Additionally, it addresses risk assessment at the network level, enabling real-time monitoring of complex systems. Case studies demonstrate the applicability of the proposed theories to real-world traffic systems.
