The purpose of this effort has been to gain insight into thedynamics of rail vehicles in order to guide the development of the Curved TrackSimulator (CTS) and to establish an analytic framework for the design andinterpretation of tests to be conducted on the CTS. The work described hererepresents an initial effort towarde meeting these objectives.Parametric study results using linear model of freight truck on the CTSshowed that (a) increasing roller radius increases critical speed (b) increasingthe wheel initial cone angle will decrease the hunting speed (c) increasing theroller cant increases hunting speed (d) decrowning of the wheelset on the rollerewill not effect the hunting speed but induces longitudinal destabilzing horizontalforces at the contact and (e) lozenging of wheelset on the rollers induces a yawmoment and the hunting speed decreases with increasing wheelset yaw angle.展开更多

The simulation uses object-oriented programming to create specialized production, consumption, and transportation classes. A set of objects from each class is distributed randomly on a 2D plane. A road network is then established between fixed objects using Prim’s MST (Minimum Spanning Tree) algorithm, followed by construction of an all-pair shortest path matrix using the Floyd Warshall algorithm. A genetic algorithm-based vehicle routing problem solver employs the all-pair shortest path matrix to best plan multiple pickup and delivery orders. Production units utilize economic order quantities (EOQ) and reorder points (ROP) to manage inventory levels. Hicksian and Marshallian demand functions are utilized by consumption units to maximize personal utility. The transport capacity, transit speed, routing efficiency, and level of interdependence serve as 4 factors in the simulation, each assigned 3 distinct levels. Federov’s exchange algorithm is used to generate an orthogonal array to reduce the number of combination replays from 3<sup>4</sup> to just 9. The simulation results of a 9-run orthogonal array on an economy with 6 mining facilities, 12 industries, 8 market centers, and 8 transport hubs show that the level of firm interdependence, followed by transit speed, has the most significant impact on economic productivity. The principal component analysis (PCA) indicates that interdependence and transit speed can explain 90.27% of the variance in the data. According to the findings of this research, a dependable and efficient regional transportation network among various types of industries is critical for regional economic development.展开更多
