Abstract:
Between 1881 and 1894 the Boston & Albany Railroad undertook a major program of capital investment and improvements to the physical facilities of the line, including the construction of over 30 new passenger stations. H. H. Richardson's close friends, James A. Rumrill and Charles S. Sargent, as the two members of the B&A Board most interested in construction, were given responsibility for this program. They directed the commissions to Richardson and after his death to his successors, Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge. Richardson's nine B&A station designs were generally variations on a simple theme-small rectangular stone blocks with overhanging roofs providing sheltered waiting space at trackside. The continuation of this approach by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge in 23 additional station designs resulted in a remarkable consistency of character and quality throughout the B&A system. This consistency was also fostered by the continuing participation of Norcross Brothers of Worcester (Richardson's "Master Builder") as contractor, and by the participation of F. L. Olmsted, whose design of landscaped settings for many of the stations contributed to the establishment of the B&A program of "railroad gardening." While the stations were small commissions, the totality of the B&A program represents an impressive collaboration of designer, contractor, and client which has seldom been equalled.

Abstract:
Objective: The study of railroad transport rate-setting system from a position of customer-oriented approach and logistics, particularly the development of specific practical proposals of freight delivery system optimization and the assessment of OJSC “Russian Railways” logistic (terminal stocking) activity indices. Methods: Analytical method was applied, as well as economical and mathematical tools of terminalistics, being a new school. Results: An attempt was made to review the existing railway freight delivery system. It was observed that it was unreasonable to exclude materials handling elements - logistical objects (LO) of different types, from a logistical chain as by means of the element in question the freight arrives at as well as leaves the railroad. If the focus is made only on operating indices of functioning and traffic section of a logistical chain, it artificially impoverishes the strongest functional of railway enterprises, leading to a simplistic approach of traffic process managing and does not contribute to freight flow transferring to railroads. A new system of indicators was suggested for economic justification and calculation of parameters LO and TS, which were missing before. All indices were adjusted to the existing system of economical and operational indices of storage yard and railroads functioning. The new system may be applied in logistical rating, as well as terminal and stocking infrastructure of OJSC “Russian Railroads”. It may be used for: 1) LO identification; 2) LO selection taking into account its functionality, dislocation, etc. ; 3) construction projects’ assessment and reconstruction of terminal and stocking railroads’ infrastructure facilities; 4) logistical functioning of OJSC “Russian Railroads” holding company; 5) LO construction; 6) railroad transport functioning forecasting and planning. Practical importance: The application of the originally developed system of indicators will allow OJSC “Russian Railroads” to effectively design, operate and plan the functioning of terminal and stocking infrastructure facilities. The effectiveness of the suggested TSS is in more rapid freight delivery to consumers, expenditure reduction in technical maintenance and ineffective railway sidings and section’s stations repair, shunting and exporting train locomotives release, as well as passing siding of a section’s station for more effective formation of exit routes, technical and station’s speed increase of line haul main directions through home-base station, due to a number of train operation paths release, occupied with demountable export trains’ operation.

Abstract:
Rail is a construction in one unit made of steel, concrete, and other construction materials above or below the ground depending on the direction and area. The condition of the rail surface must not have any defects so that train travel is safe and comfortable. This research method discusses the research design. There are four processes in this research design, namely the data acquisition process, the RGB image color conversion process to HSI, the filtering process using the gabor filter, and the classification process using deep learning neural networks. The purpose of this study is to build a system to visually detect defects in the surface of the railroad tracks, namely image processing techniques. This activity was carried out at the Madiun Indonesian Railways Polytechnic Station Laboratory. Based on the research that has been done, it can be concluded that an image with a size of 32x32 pixels produces the highest accuracy value at epoch 90 using the gabor filter image type. The more epochs used, the better the results will be and the better the model can be made. The accuracy results obtained were 0.8041 or 80.41% for training accuracy and testing accuracy of 0.79 or 79%

Abstract:
The Central Artery/Third Harbor Tunnel Project in Boston, Massachusetts, is one of the largest highway projects over undertaken in the country. It requires the replacement of the existing elevated artery, I-93, with an underground tunnel extending through downtown Boston and an extension of the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority (MTA) I-90 from its existing termination at the I-93 interchange to Boston's Logan International Airport. The I-90 extension tunnels east under the existing South Station intercity and commuter railroad tracks, under historic Fort Point Channel while crossing above the 1915 twin subway tunnels, and continues through industrial South Boston with ramps surfacing in a new South Boston interchange, the heart of tremendous growth in Boston. From there the tunnel connects to the recently completed Ted Williams Tunnel harbor crossing to East Boston and Logan International Airport. The unique design challenges and solutions relating to the Fort Point Channel crossing, particularly the use of in-the-wet construction with concrete immersed-tube tunnels and the design interface to the ventilation structures, are presented. Structures required for the I-90 extension are concrete immersed tubes and jacked tunnels, as well as more conventional cut-and-cover tunnels, bridges, surface roads, and ancillary buildings. The geometric and physical restraints of the alignment initially required the placement of the ventilation building, which serves the tunnels, on a cut-and-cover tunnel transition section between the jacked tunnels and the concrete immersed tubes. Ultimately, placement of the ventilation building on the immersed tubes created a substantial cost and schedule benefit.

Abstract:
On the basis of a wide range of sources, the research analyzes the history of the study of permafrost in the territory of the European Northeast of Russia in the first half of the 20th century. The documentary sources revealed in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow), the National Archive of the Komi Republic (Syktyvkar), the Scientific Archive of the Komi Science Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Syktyvkar), the Vorkuta Museum and Exhibition Center (Vorkuta) are introduced into the scientific use for the first time. The 1920s became the period of the birth of a new scientific direction – permafrostology. This science gave an impetus to the systematic study and development of the North and the Arctic. The beginning of systematic geocryologic studies was connected with the development of the European Northeast in the 1920s–1930s. It has been determined that the USSR Academy of Sciences played the leading role in carrying out these studies: it organized special scientific expeditions for studying the cryolithozone of this region. The main results of the studies and their motives interconnected with the government’s interests in the development of valuable northern mineral resources are shown. The results of the expeditions were conclusions about the possibility of constructing large industrial facilities in the regions of the explored reserves of natural raw material resources. Following scientists’ recommendation, the industrial development of the Pechora coal basin and the colonization of the polar region began. The climatic and natural features of the region demanded stationary scientific research in the field of design and construction. The Vorkuta Research Permafrost Station (VRPS) (1936–1958), created under the supervision of the USSR Academy of Sciences, began to carry out this research. Today, the history of this station’s activities is poorly studied. The article presents the main directions of VRPS research: engineering permafrostology and general issues of permafrost studies. The staff of the station were researchers of the Committee on Permafrost Studies of the USSR Academy of Sciences and scientists from among prisoners of GULAG. The role of the staff who made a great contribution to permafrost studies is shown. Under the leadership of the scientists of the station, on the basis of their techniques, large industrial structures of Vorkuta District and Vorkuta, among them the first railroad in the conditions of permafrost, were designed. The conclusion is drawn on the leading role of scientists of the USSR Academy of Sciences in carrying out studies of permafrost soil in the European Northeast in the first half of the 20th century which became the basis in the successful solution of construction problems in the Arctic territory.

Abstract:
Objective: Further improvement of organizational management methods for construction and renovation of railroad stations by the example of marshalling complexes infrastructure. Methods: By means of the methods of continuous construction theory, depending on technological arrangement and structure of facilities of railroad stations, an optimum amount of work was singled out for the purpose of construction lines development. Effective variants of organizational management were selected according to rational coefficient values of combining the facility and specialized flows, in case of which the maximum possible (for conditions of construction and renovation) estimated capacity of the station was preserved. Results: The dependencies of estimated capacity and the amount of work for construction and renovation of marshalling complexes of different types (one-way, combined, etc.) were determined. Practical importance: The data presented in the article is of high practical relevance due to the absence of modern research and industrial regulatory documents on construction and renovation management of the given type of transport facilities.

Abstract:
The development of the large corporate railroad systems in the Midwest, during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, produced many high quality, architecturally significant railroad stations. Among these, Richmond's Pennsylvania Railroad Station, built to the designs of the D.H. Burnham & Co., of Chicago in 1902-1903, is a fine example of the Beaux-Arts and Neo-Classical Revival Styles of architecture popular after the Columbian World Exposition of 1893. The Richmond station remains as the last example of the Burnham Co.'s railroad station work in Indiana. This thesis will review the history and current status of the station, review and summarize the field of railroad station reuse, and present an adaptive reuse plan for the station.

Abstract:
This paper presents a Lagrangian formulation for studying the dynamics and control of the proposed Space Station based Mobile Servicing System (MSS) for a particular case of in plane libration and maneuvers. The simplified case is purposely considered to help focus on the effects of structural and joint flexibility parameters of the MSS on the complex interactions between the station and manipulator dynamics during slewing and translational maneuvers. The response results suggest that under critical combinations of parameters, the system can become unstable. During maneuvers, the deflection of the MSS can become excessive, leading to positioning error of the payload. At the same time the libration error can also be significant. A linear quadratic regulator is designed to control the deflection of the manipulator and maintain the station at its operating configuration.

Abstract:
Dans cette étude, une méthode de conception probabiliste pour la conception d'usines de traitement des eaux usées (STEP) qui permet la quantification du degré de conformité aux normes de rejet en termes de probabilité a été proposée. La méthode de conception développée est une approche basée sur un modèle dans lequel les sources pertinentes d'incertitude sont exprimées en termes de fonctions de distribution de probabilité et leur effet combiné sur la distribution de la qualité de l'effluent sont quantifiés par simulation Monte Carlo. Pour ce faire, une série de conceptions en régime permanent avec différents niveaux de sécurité ont été générés en utilisant des règles de conception et la probabilité correspondante de non-conformité aux normes de rejet ont été calculés en utilisant des simulations dynamiques avec différentes réalisations de séries temporelles d'affluent et différentes valeurs pour les paramètres du modèle de station d'épuration. Pour générer différentes réalisations de séries temporelles d'affluent, un logiciel a été développé pour la génération de séries temporelles d'affluent tenant compte des conditions climatiques locales ainsi que les caractéristiques de base des réseaux d'égout connectés. En outre, différentes réalisations des paramètres du modèle de STEP ont été générés par l'échantillonnage des fonctions de distribution de probabilité et l'effet combiné de la variabilité de l'affluent et l'incertitude du modèle sur la distribution de la qualité des effluents a été calculé en exécutant un certain nombre de simulations Monte Carlo jusqu'à ce que la convergence de la distribution de la qualité des effluents a été atteinte. Une fois la convergence atteinte, la probabilité de non-respect d'une alternative de conception peut être calculée pour un certain niveau de qualité de l'effluent. La méthode de conception probabiliste peut aider les concepteurs à éviter l'application de facteurs de sécurité conservateurs qui pourraient entraîner un dimensionnement trop petit ou trop grand de stations d'épuration. En outre, le calcul de la probabilité de non-conformité comme un critère quantitatif peut aider les concepteurs et les décideurs à prendre une décision informée des risques en vue de la meilleure configuration de traitement, son dimensionnement, ainsi que le fonctionnement de l'usine pour la conception ou la mise à niveau des stations d'épuration. Mots-clés: usine de traitement des eaux usées, de conception dans l'incertitude, de la conception en fonction du risque, analyse de l'incertitude, probabilité de non-conformité.
In this study, a probabilistic design method for the design of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) that enables the quantification of the degree of compliance to the effluent standards in terms of probability has been proposed. The developed design method is a model-based approach in which relevant sources of uncertainty are expressed in terms of probability distribution functions and their combined effect on the distribution of the effluent quality is quantified by Monte Carlo simulation. To do so, a set of steady-state designs with different levels of safety is first generated using a design guideline and then the corresponding probability of non-compliance (PONC) to the effluent standards is calculated using dynamic simulations under different realizations of influent time series and different values for the WWTP model parameters. To generate different realizations of the influent time series, a software tool was developed for synthetic generation of influent time series data considering the local climate conditions as well as basic characteristics of the connected sewershed. Moreover, different realizations of WWTP model parameters are generated by sampling from the probability distribution functions that are assigned to uncertain model parameters. The combined effect of influent variability and model uncertainty on the effluent distributions is calculated by running a certain number of Monte Carlo simulation runs until convergence of the effluent distribution is achieved. Once convergence is reached for the effluent distribution, the PONC for a design alternative can be calculated for a certain effluent standard. The probabilistic design method can help designers avoid the application of conservative safety factors that could result in over-or under-sizing of WWTPs. Moreover, calculating the probability of non-compliance as a quantitative criterion can help designers and decision makers make risk-informed decisions on the best treatment configuration, sizing, and plant operation during the design or upgrading of WWTPs. Keywords: Wastewater treatment plant, design under uncertainty, risk-informed design, uncertainty analysis, probability of non-compliance.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to investigate the capacity of a proposed bus rapid transit (BRT) station in Cape Town. A bus rapid transit system is a high-capacity public transportation system that carries passengers from one point to another, providing a service that is faster and more efficient than an ordinary bus line. The implementation of these systems is increasing rapidly worldwide, serving as a solution to decrease traffic congestion. The capacity of the proposed bus station, known as the Thibault Station, is investigated in the study by developing a simulation model. The aim is to develop a stochastic simulation model, which represents the flow of passengers throughout the station so that the station capacity can be investigated. By developing a stochastic model as opposed to a deterministic model, elements of uncertainty can be included into the model, thereby representing a system that is closer to the real-life situation under investigation. The majority of BRT systems, as well as past studies undertaken on the Thibault Station, are designed using deterministic calculations. The study commences by researching literature on BRT systems and focuses on the current methods used to calculate station capacity requirements. Thereafter, the concept of simulation is introduced. Simulation is the method chosen to model and evaluate the passenger and bus operations at the Thibault Station. The study presents the methods used to build and verify the simulation model. This is done to familiarise the user with a number of aspects of the model. The model can then be used as a tool to investigate capacity parameters and alternative designs or scenarios. Using the results of these investigations, decisions can ultimately be made regarding the planning and design components of any bus rapid transit station given that the model is adapted. Scenario results, as well as interpretations of performance measurements, are presented at the end of the study. The results can be used for more realistic design of BRT stations using stochastic modelling.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van die studie is om ondersoek in te stel na die kapasiteit van „n hoëspoed bus vervoer stelsel (BRT). Die ondersoek is gebaseer op „n voorgestelde bus stelsel vir Kaapstad. „n BRT-stelsel is „n hoë-kapasiteit publieke vervoerstelsel wat passasiers van een punt na „n ander vervoer, deur „n diens te verskaf wat vinniger en meer doeltreffend is as „n gewone bus stelsel. Die implementering van hierdie tipe stelsels neem wêreldwyd toe en dien as „n oplossing om verkeersopeenhopings te verminder. Die spesifieke busstasie wat ondersoek word staan bekend as die Thibault Stasie van Kaapstad se BRT-stelsel. Die kapasiteit van die stasie word ondersoek deur middel van simulasiemodellering. Die doel is om „n stogastiese simulasiemodel wat die vloei van passasiers modelleer te ontwikkel ten einde die kapasiteit van die stasie te ondersoek. Deur „n stogastiese model in plaas van „n deterministiese model te gebruik, kan elemente van onsekerheid ingesluit word. Dit verteenwoordig dus „n stelsel wat nader aan die werklikheid is. Tans word meeste BRT-stelsels ontwerpe gebaseer op deterministiese berekeninge, asook historiese studies wat onderneem is oor die Thibault Stasie. Die studie begin deur literatuur oor BRT-stelsels te bestudeer en fokus daarna op die huidige metodes wat gebruik word om die vereiste kapasiteit van „n busstasie te bepaal. Die konsep van simulasie word daarna voorgestel. Simulasie is die metode wat in die studie gebruik word om die passasier- en busaktiwiteite van die Thibault Stasie te modelleer en te evalueer. Die studie verskaf die metodes wat gebruik word vir die ontwikkeling en geldigmaak van die simulasiemodel. Gebruikers word op dié manier blootgestel aan die verskillende aspekte van die model. Nadat die gebruikers vertroud is met sekere aspekte van die model, word die model verder uiteengesit en word daar verduidelik hoe dit as „n instrument om kapasiteit parameters en alternatiewe ontwerpe van busstasies te ondersoek kan dien. Die resultate van die model kan gebruik word om beplannings- en ontwerpbesluite van enige busstasie te neem. Aan die einde van die studie word scenarioresultate bekendgestel, asook die interpretasie daarvan. Die resultate kan gebruik word vir meer realistiese ontwerp van BRT-stasies met behulp van stogastiese simulasie modellering.

Abstract:
There has been a boom in American rail transit construction in the past two decades. That new investment has prompted the question of what planners can do to support rail transit. One popular answer has been transit-oriented development (TOD), increasingly described as a comprehensive strategy for rail-based land-use planning throughout an urban area. This is most clearly illustrated by Bernick and Cervero’s (1997) description of how such projects can link together to create “transit metropolises” where rail is a viable transportation option for many of the region’s residents. In addition, TOD provides an opportunity to examine the regulatory issues discussed in chapter 6, both because it is an explicit attempt to use urban design as transportation policy and because the intergovernmental issues are especially stark in relation to these developments. Having discussed how travelers behave in the first part of this book, we now ask what we know about how cities behave. Stated in general form, the question is rather broad. It concerns the process by which cities and other land-use authorities decide where to put streets, how to structure the local hierarchy of streets, when to develop more or less densely, how to position employment centers relative to residential areas, and so on. Still, the feasibility of land-use plans with transportation goals depends critically on how such authorities behave. Any discussion of the effectiveness of these strategies must address both how communities plan for transportation and how travelers respond to those plans. The primary transportation goal of TOD generally, as currently practiced, is to coordinate land-use policies to support rail transit. In particular, focusing both residential and commercial development near rail transit stations is aimed at increasing rail ridership (e.g., Bernick, 1990; Bernick and Hall, 1990; Calthorpe, 1993; Cervero, 1993; Bernick and Cervero, 1997). Some evidence suggests that residents near rail transit stations are two to five times more likely to commute by rail when compared with persons living elsewhere in the same urban area (Pushkarev and Zupan, 1977; Bernick and Carroll, 1991; Cervero, 1994d).

Abstract:
One of the most popular apps is location-based services (LBSs) such as navigation, location-based social networks, and location-based advertisements. However, building an LBS is not a simple task because it involves various subjects and techniques like mobile computing, databases, and security and privacy. One of the major LBS components is geographical databases, which are used to store geographic data like locations and functions (such as restaurants and gas stations). A geographical database is usually hosted on a server because of its huge size and should facilitate geographic data storage, indexing, searching, and matching. This article tries to mitigate the high difficulty of LBS construction by showing the construction step by step with a focus on connecting a mobile device to a server-side geographical database. After reading this article, readers will be able to build an LBS prototype for their research or applications.

Abstract:
Due to its great geological and transport position, Croatia is part of important international transport corridors and was included in the Trans-European Transport Network when it joined the European Union. The fact that Gradec - Sveti Ivan Žabno section is the first completed new line in Croatia after 50 years shows how much the railroads in Croatia need revitalization in order to increase railroad capacity, speed and safety level. The next ten years will be marked by investments in rail infrastructure projects worth an estimated 4.4 billion. Due to the large infrastructure projects, such as the investments in the RH1 and RH2 railroad corridors, designers are facing major challenges that require faster, more efficient and accurate planning and successful cooperation between all parties involved in the planning process and construction. BIM (Building Information Modelling) has emerged as an important tool for creating and modifying digital and graphical data in the design, planning and construction phases of a project. This article will present the railroad as an important subject in the demographic and economic development of Croatia and the application of BIM technology in the design of railroad infrastructure in Croatia. Also, through available literature about BIM technology in railroad infrastructure in the world, the article will give an overview of the practical part of the implementation using the AutoCAD Civil 3D platform. The Križevci-Koprivnica detailed design and Škrljevo-Rijeka-Jurdani main design, which poses numerous challenges to designers due to its complexity, will serve as an example, illustrating the advantages and disadvantages of using Civil 3D and Subassembly Composer. The article examines the legal regulations for the application of BIM technology in the European Union and what can be expected from Croatia in terms of its integration in the future.

Abstract:
An electromagnetic energy harvester features anchorless mounting is designed and analyzed. It can harness electrical energy from railroad track deflections induced by passing trains. Anchorless mounting is designed to be easily installed on railroad sleepers without any change to the original foundation, it utilize a spring reset mechanism to capture track motion. This structure eliminates the need of anchoring on the railroad and further reduces any potential risk to change the railroad construction. An energy harvesting mechanism named mechanical motion rectifier (MMR) is created to overcome challenge in harnessing energy from the high pulse-like impact and to transform bidirectional linear vibration into unidirectional rotational motion at high efficiency. Dynamic modeling of MMR and harvester are developed to reveal the working principle and verify overall design. The harvester is targeting at powering major track-side accessories or to be used as back-up power source to enhance track operational safety.
