Preface COMPRAIL 2006, the tenth in a series of well-established and successful international conferences on Computer System Design and Operation in the Railway and Other Transit Systems, was held in Prague, Czech Republic, in 2006. Since 1987, COMPRAIL has provided a world forum for planners, designers, manufacturers and operators to discuss how they can benefit from computer-based techniques. This book contains most of the papers presented at COMPRAIL 2006, representing the latest research, from development and application of computers to the management, design, manufacture and operations of railways and other passenger, freight and transit systems. The Conference attracted a large number of papers, divided into the following sections: Planning; Safety; Passenger interface systems; Decision support systems; Computer techniques; Converting metros to driverless operation; Advanced train control; Train location; Dynamic train regulation; Timetable planning; Operations quality; Communications; Energy management; Power supply; Dynamics and wheel/ rail interface; Freight; Condition monitoring. This book is distributed throughout the world by WIT Press, the publishing arm of the Wessex Institute of Technology. In addition, together with all other COMPRAIL Conferences held from 1994 onwards, the papers are displayed in the electronic library of the Transactions of the Wessex Institute, where they are permanently available to the international scientific community. The Editors are grateful to all the authors for the excellent papers and to those members of the International Scientific Advisory Committee who participated in the review process. The success of the conference and this book is the result of their significant contribution of time and energy. The Editors Prague, 2006
