Excited to announce that TRAIN PhD student Jiaxi Zhao and Prof. Dick have recently published a new research paper in the Transportation Research Record academic journal! This paper is related to Jiaxi’s work on investigating the performance of freight railway hump classification yards subject to variation in arriving train volume due to daily, weekly and longer-range fluctuations in traffic demand. The work was performed using an original simulation model that Jiaxi created in AnyLogic.
The reference and DOI link for the paper is as follows:
