Container Terminal Development on the Continent: Africa PerspectiveWSP
During this workshop, delivered at the African Ports and Rail Evolution 2018 forum, WSP led a discussion on port and the container business in Africa.
The two main topics were:
- Development that should be considered with procurement in mind
- Planning of container terminal to inform decision-making.
Discussion featured PRIME, the WSP Terminal Planning Tool.
WSP uses PRIME for individual marine and rail terminals as well as entire port complexes.
PRIME includes site and model components for container, break/neo-bulk, dry bulk, liquid bulk, and RO/RO facilities. Custom program code transfers all attributes of the plan directly to Microsoft Excel, where a sophisticated model is ready to estimate capacity, equipment needs, equipment usage, operating expense, capital expense, cash flow, and environmental measures. This tight linkage between the plan and the analysis model means the planner can make site changes and instantly see the effect across the full range of impacts.
From PRIME Model:
Client was provided a comprehensive, robust view of:
—What the terminal should look like
—How we get from current state to final state
—How much time it will take to convert
—How much it is going to cost over time
—How construction will disrupt capacity
—How development will affect cash flow
—How much the operating costs will improve
—How capital and operating costs are intertwined
Client was able to:
—Craft a sensible bid
—Make a well-supported case to bankers and financiers
—Put a well prepared feasible solution to market

Economics of Electricity Transmission Line Rehabilitation Investments Sener Salci
The analytical challenges in evaluating the impacts of transmission line investments have vexed practitioners and electricity market regulators. The purpose of this study is to provide a guideline for improving the accuracy and predictability of the impacts of electricity rehabilitation projects. The subject is too broad to address completely here. The proposed guideline is suitable for evaluations of such project implemented in a broken electricity network. In such case, the demand for electricity is deterred, the supply of the electricity is unreliable, and the system is far away from its least-cost optimum production/consumption level. The guideline does not rebut the catalog of existing evaluation models or approaches. The guideline utilizes them for a reasonable ex-ante assessment to identify “good” projects that satisfy the economic and public objectives of the economy. An integrated cost-benefit analysis (CBA) framework is recommended to appraise such projects along with allocating the impacts to stakeholders in a manner that is commensurate with the net benefits they receive. Such an integrated analysis is much more than a set of procedures for estimating the expected net present values or rates of return of the project.

Capacity charging mechanism for shared CO2 transportation and storage infrast...Global CCS Institute
While technical and legal barriers to CCS are diminishing, the difficulty in building a sound commercial case for the development and operation of CCS infrastructure remains a serious obstacle. One way to significantly reduce the cost of CCS is to realise economies of scale by sharing a single CO2 transportation and storage infrastructure system among several operators of CO2 capture plants.
This webinar, presented by Calum Hughes, Director - CCS at Yellow Wood Energy and Dave Bevan, Commercial Developer at National Grid Carbon (UK), will provide insight into the commercial charging mechanism developed by National Grid for a shared CCS infrastructure system. In particular, various options for allocating system development and operational costs between members of an infrastructure network will be explored.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
We have compiled the most important slides from each speaker's presentation. This year’s compilation, available for free, captures the key insights and contributions shared during the DfMAy 2024 conference.

• Gauging faces a combination of economic
problems:
• Network Effects
• Tyranny of small decisions
• Regardless of technology, increasing
gauge will always be more expensive
• How do we justify expense when benefit
not felt till years afterwards?
Challenge
• Work out the most efficient economic
approach to gauging improvement
• Quantify the benefits of increased rolling
stock space
• Quantify the economy of scale benefits to
be had by adopting UIC gauges
• Identify suitable Funding Models and
routes to market
Solutions
• V/S SIC Gauging Strategy
Existing Work
• Gauging prioritisation economic model
• Double stack freight economic study
• Modelling impact of increased train space
on passenger loading
• Consultation with manufacturers/ROSCOs
to identify economy of scale benefits
• Consultation with NR/DfT on funding
models
Proposed Work
10. KC06:01 –Funding Models
RTS:CDP
MoreSpaceonTrains
KC06
• Gauging projects, on individual pieces of
infrastructure, will never have a positive
business case, as the benefits are only
realised when entire systems are converted.
• This type of “network effects” problem is
known as the “chicken and egg” problem in
the telecoms or internet industry.
• Require unique business and funding
strategies to overcome
Description
• ROSCOs unwilling to purchase larger gauge
trains that may become “captive”. Address via
creation of a gauging section 54?
• Inverse funding – Offer route managers a
“gauging” bonus from central NR/DfT fund –
amount declines as more of the network is
gauged
• Sell infrastructure constraints – private
companies fund the rebuilding of problem
infrastructure and then lease back to the
network
• Increase VTAC based on gauge capacity of the
track to incentivise NR to increase?
Solutions
Strategies:
1. Signal long term commitment – invest enough money
that gives market confident your new system is here to
stay. Railway comparable – government mandate.
2. Use backwards or sideways compatibility to grow market
size. Railway comparable develop technology to ensure
older rolling stock remains compatible. Make
connections to European or HS2 markets.
3. Exploit niches to create “beachheads” e.g. Facebook
initially targeting Universities. Railway comparable –
convert short but very high density rail corridors first.
E.g. Barking to London Gateway. London commuter
services.
4. Lock key suppliers in – e.g. Sony convincing music
publishers to produce CDs. Railway comparable –
convince manufacturers to stop producing new UK gauge
vehicles (don’t support)
5. Create standalone value beyond network effect – VCRs
were successful as even without any market in video
cassettes the standalone value of time shifting TV was
high. Railway comparable – short double stack freight
routes.
6. Vertically integrate – Video game consoles producing
both the hardware and content. Railway comparable –
Alliances enabling both NR and TOC to share in benefit of
re-gauging. Privately funded industrial railroads -
convince northern car manufacturers to fund railway
construction to port of Tyne? (Only about 3 miles of
track to connect to ECML)

KC06
• Do we increase gauge on a route by route basis,
or rolling basis as infrastructure is replaced?
• Cost benefits are only realised when entire
route is complete, and these benefits grow
through network effect
• Cost impact higher for replacing route by route
• Lower gauge also has negative costs while
routes are only partially adapted
• What is the optimum rollout strategy?
Description
• Create an economic model that combines
all the issues described above. Initial draft
results can be seen to the right.
• Model will enable impact of different cost
saving measures to be identified in a
systems context
• Combine model with NR gauging database
and NR asset register. Enable identifying
routes on which to increase gauge first

12. KC06:01 –Double Stack Freight
RTS:CDP
MoreSpaceonTrains
KC06
• Incentivising gauge increase is very difficult
initially prior to network effects
• Need to identify individual routes where the
cost benefits are large enough to outweigh
drawbacks
• HS2 is one, but double stack freight may be
another
• Proven concept in America, potential 50%
freight cost saving could justify gauging
increases even on short routes.
• No UIC gauge but trial Rotterdam route built
Description
• Carry out desktop study into potential
benefits of dual stack in UK context
• Develop standards and wagon design for
UK network
• Identify and cost demonstrator route
Solution
13. KC06:01 –Train Space
Modelling
RTS:CDP
MoreSpaceonTrains
KC06
• Increasing train width and minimising
components creates added space,
but what is the value of this?
• Without a value on space, making
the business case is more challenging
• Increased space should enable
increased capacity, reduced dwell
time and increased accessibility
Description
• Carry out university study into the impact
and benefits of increased interior space
• Outputs will be economic impacts of
increased space with which to use to
justify other demonstrator projects
• Will also identify whether increase in
space is most efficiently used for
increasing amount of 3+2 seating or
increasing aisle widths
Solution
14. KC06:01 –Economies of Scale
RTS:CDP
MoreSpaceonTrains
KC06
• Achieving UIC gauges will enable the
purchase of standard European rolling stock.
• This would enable far larger fleet sizes with
resulting economies of scale in both
manufacture and maintenance
• Would also potentially enable a cross
European ROSCO market, driving down
financing costs
• Would also enable export of UK rolling stock
expertise and manufacturing capabilities
Description
• Collaborate with manufacturers to
determine likely cost savings possible
• Consult with ROSCOs to identify impact of
European standardisation on rail vehicle
leasing.
• Work with DfT/BIS to calculate “social
value” of resulting export opportunities
on job creation
Solution
15. KC06:01 –Gauging Lobbying
RTS:CDP
MoreSpaceonTrains
KC06
Description
Solution
• Part of the “Tyranny of Small decisions”
problem, is actors lack of knowledge of
the larger system.
• Industry players aren’t aware of any
efforts or possibility to increase gauge
and hence continue “business as usual”
• GA missed gauging opportunity, HS2 at
risk of following.
• Key aspect of the work package will be
engaging with stakeholders and
communicating industry plans to the
industry and wider public.
• Need to work at bringing external
influence to prevent individual projects
seeking to reduce cost of gauging at the
expense of the wider network
16. KC06:02 – Structural Gauge

MoreSpaceonTrains
KC06
• How to increase the structural gauge
• At lower cost
• With less disruption
• And ensuring futureproofing
• Can be broken down into
• Track
• Structures
• Electrical systems
Challenge
• Overseeing existing RSSB and NR
programs
• Creation of adaptable catenary structure
• Creation of adaptable platforms
Proposed work
• Range of NR research programs such as
bridge raising, new track types, low profile
OLE etc.
• Large amount of NR “Business as usual”
work
Existing Work
• Requires both iterative improvements and
more radical technical developments
• Key focus is on minimising network effect
costs particularly for lower gauge
clearance and electrical systems
• Need to balance against other
infrastructure manager concerns
Solutions
17. KC06:02 - Track
RTS:CDP
MoreSpaceonTrains
KC06
• Track offers opportunities to:
• Lower profile giving additional clearance
• Greater fixity reducing movement
allowance
• Major issue is around UK “Six foot” –
major constraint to European width
vehicles. Lowering cost and quicker
solutions required to solve
Description
Solution
• Majority of work covered in NR’s ongoing
work streams and by KC12 – Low cost
railway
• Large amount of work also being
undertaken in KC2 –Minimal Disruption
• Hence main scope is maintaining oversight
and co-ordination with ongoing projects
18. KC06:02 - Structures
RTS:CDP
MoreSpaceonTrains
KC06
• Platform heights pose one of the biggest
network effect costs when changing gauging.
• How can they be changed without imposing
negative costs on the rest of the network?
• How can we also achieve level access?
• Reducing cost of other structures important
but considered NR “Business as usual”
Description
• Can platform gap fillers or vehicle ramps
be made sufficient for the UK market –
Adoption of existing RSSB research and
taking to trial
• Can adjustable platform structures be
designed that allow modifications to be
made quickly and cheaply? – Design
competition
Solutions
19. KC06:02 – Electrical Systems
RTS:CDP
MoreSpaceonTrains
KC06
• New OLE’s still being installed that are
outside our future gauge aspirations
• Yet increased OLE heights impose
additional costs on older rolling stock
• Reducing costs and speed of replacing and
installing OLE also required but covered in
NR and other WPO scopes
Description
• Require new “Adaptable” OLE designs.
That can be installed at current heights
yet can be changed in future at low cost
for larger gauge – Design Competition

MoreSpaceonTrains
KC06
• How to:
• Reduce the cost of gauging
• Improve how we monitor gauge
• And improve the way we control gauge
limitations
• Application of digital solutions to
traditional problem
Challenge
• Current gauging approach risk is 10^31,
plenty of scope for reduction of
tolerances.
• Currently reliant on yellow measurement
trains – digital costs are now so low to
enable use of regular passenger trains
• The digital railway enables more complex
signalling rules allowing the integration of
gauging control to avoid infrastructure
work
Proposed work
• NR work on fitting 3D surveying
equipment to passenger vehicles
• D Gauge work on pantograph probabilistic
gauging
• V/S SIC work on standard gauges
Existing Work
• Supporting the adoption of probabilistic
gauging techniques
• Enabling the continuous monitoring of
gauge
• Integration of gauging into the signalling
system to enable:
• Smart train dynamics control
• Gauging signalling constraints

MoreSpaceonTrains
KC06
Description
Solutions
• Current gauging method provides
absolute clearance limits based on a
variety of factors – Yet the odds of all of
these factors coming into the play at the
exact same time is almost impossible
• Other industries such as nuclear have
shown only way to manage similar risks is
via probabilistic methods
• Supporting continued development of
statistical tools for carrying out gauging
assessments and statistical review of
existing standards
• Carrying out of testing to certify statistical
results correspond to real world
behaviour
22. KC06:03 – On Board Gauge
Monitoring
RTS:CDP
MoreSpaceonTrains
KC06
Description
Solutions
• Industry is currently dependent on NR
yellow trains for gauging measurement –
yet this is expensive and long time periods
increases the allowances need for changes
in between surveys
• Industry also nervous about reducing
clearances when no system exists to check
whether these work in practice
• Technology now exists to miniaturise
yellow train equipment sufficiently to fit
onto passenger rolling stock
• Big Data analytics also allow for lower
accuracy sensors to be used as long as we
get numerous repeat measurements
• FFCCTV provides opportunity for low
accuracy gauging measurement – safety
net to avoid bridge strikes etc.
23. KC06:03 – Gauging Signalling
Control
RTS:CDP
MoreSpaceonTrains
KC06
Description
Solution
• Two trains passing on a tight bend is one of the
main gauging constraints currently, yet this
occurs very rarely.
• Some pieces of infrastructure simply won’t be
able to replace – but many of these structures
do have clearance if track separation was
reduced.
• New in cab signalling allows opportunity for
more complex signalling rules.
• Develop standards for incorporating gauge
constraints into the signalling system –
ensuring two trains never go round a corner
at the same time etc.
• Develop advanced DAS systems that can help
avoid these constraining capacity via varying
train operation (avoid a passing on a corner
by increasing speed slightly etc.)
• Allows network effect benefits to be reached
quicker with there then being an easier
business case to change tight infrastructure
afterwards

• Already accepted controlling train dynamics
based on infrastructure requirements –
Pendolino tilt
• Large amount of gauging clearances currently
caused by possible but physically very unlikely
situations – trains swaying into a corner for
example
• Removing the entire possibility of such events
could improve confidence with probabilistic
gauging

to meet the needs of peak loads?
Challenge
• Work to miniaturise exterior components
particularly batteries and brake systems
• New designs to take advantage of freed
up underframe space
• Reducing OLE electrical clearances
• Optimising vehicle articulation
• Developing methods of varying train set
lengths in service
Solutions
• Ongoing manufacturer work to reduce
equipment size and weight
• Some low TRL projects by RSSB
Existing Work
• Step changes in equipment sizes are
possible if follow in footsteps of
automotive sector – Electric driven brake
callipers, lithium batteries etc.
• OLE clearance and corner overhangs can
both be addressed via vehicle changes
• Start preparing the technology vision for
how train will couple in 20 years time.

• If underframe could be completely cleared
would allow the dropping of the floor,
enabling level access at European
standard platform heights
• DMU miniaturisation increases space for
hybridisation and range extension
Description
• Trial the use of electrically driven brake
callipers as seen on many electric cars –
