Inhalt:
"The 5th edition of Railway Management and Engineering (enlarged and extended, now under the title Railway Planning, Management, and Engineering) maintains its tradition of offering an innovative scientific approach to tackle a multitude of vital aspects of railways, to understand in-depth the origins and inter-relationships of the many situations and phenomena, and to suggest the appropriate methods and solutions to solve the various emerging problems. The book deals successively with planning, management, track, rolling stock, safety, and environment. Each chapter of the book contains the necessary theoretical analysis of the phenomena studied, the recommended solutions, applications, charts, and design of the specific railway component. In this way, both the requirement for a theoretical analysis is met, and the need of the railway planner, manager, and engineer for tables, nomographs, regulations, etc. is satisfied. Regulations of the International Union of Railways (UIC) as well as European Standardization (CEN) and European Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSIs) have been used to the greatest extent possible. New features within this 5th edition include a new chapter on safety and level crossings, extended analysis covering both freight and urban rail systems, technological evolutions of high-speed trains and hyperloop systems, applications of artificial intelligence and big data to railway problems, actualization of all statistical and economic data, recent changes in planning, legislation and policy of railways, hydrogen trains, and enrichment throughout of the many implications of increased digitalization and automation. The book is written for railway managers, economists and engineers, consulting economists and engineers. It will also be of direct relevance to students of engineering, transportation, economics, and management"--
