Art Peterson is back with more color images from his Krambles-Peterson Archive. This book focuses on freight railroading and features scenes of switching and trains in industrial areas in the Transition and Classic eras. Large photos and in depth captions go beyond just telling what's in the photo - they put the images in context with the greater railroad scene as well as what was going on in the larger society.

Rail is potentially a very efficient form of transport, but must be convenient, reliable and cost-effective to compete with road and air transport. Optimal control can be used to find energy-efficient driving strategies for trains. This book describes the train control problem and shows how a solution was found at the University of South Australia. This research was used to develop the Metromiser system, which provides energy-efficient driving advice on suburban trains. Since then, this work has been modified to find practical driving strategies for long-haul trains. The authors describe the history of the problem, reviewing the basic mathematical analysis and relevant techniques of constrained optimisation. They outline the modelling and solution of the problem and finally explain how the fuel consumption can be minimised for a journey, showing the effect of speed limits and track gradients on the optimal driving strategy.

This book presents the findings of scientific studies on the successful operation of complex transport infrastructures in regions with extreme climatic and geographical conditions. It features the proceedings of the VIII International Scientific Siberian Transport Forum, TransSiberia 2019, which was held in Novosibirsk, Russia, on May 22–27, 2019. The book discusses improving energy efficiency in the transportation sector and the use of artificial intelligence in transport, highlighting a range of topics, such as freight and logistics, freeway traffic modelling and control, intelligent transport systems and smart mobility, transport data and transport models, highway and railway construction and trucking on the Siberian ice roads. Consisting of 214 high-quality papers on a wide range of issues, these proceedings appeal to scientists, engineers, managers in the transport sector, and anyone involved in the construction and operation of transport infrastructure facilities.
