Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit

Scope

The Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit publishes peer-reviewed articles devoted to all engineering disciplines applied to rail and rapid transit. It provides a continuing means of sharing technical knowledge, ideas and developments between industry and academia. The Journal seeks to encompass innovative concepts, advances in analytical methods, and examples of actual developmental work. Basic research with identified rail applications is included in the Journal's scope. The scope extends to all aspects of trailway science and engineering including: Motive power, traction and rolling stock; Passenger and freight; Mainline and suburban railways; Light rail / urban transit; Metros; Maglev; Track systems; Interaction of vehicles with the infrastructure and the environment; System infrastructure and interfaces; Inter and multi-modal transport; Human factors; Command and control; Reliability and safety; Inspection and maintenance; Customer interfaces; Data and the digital railway; Railway engineering trends.
