Railroads 2013

This issue contains 22 papers concerned with railroads. Specific topics discussed include: high-speed rail network design and station location; competitiveness of high-speed rail; economic impacts of Amtrak intercity passenger rail service; high-speed rail corridors; and the impacts of short-term land use by high-speed rail on large metropolises. Other topics covered include: high-speed rail train scheduling; dynamic wheel loads of high-speed rail; predicting potential railway operational disruptions; periodic railway timetabling problems; and the impact of European railway traffic management system on human performance in railway operations.
