Latin hypercube designs based on strong orthogonal arrays and Kriging modelling to improve the payload distribution of trains.

ABSTRACT: Nowadays, computer experiments are used increasingly more to solve complex engineering and technological issues. Computer experiments are analysed through suitable metamodels acting as statistical interpolators of the simulated input-output data: Kriging is the most appropriate and widely used one. We optimise the braking performance of freight trains through computer experiments and Kriging modelling by focussing on the payload distribution along the train, so as to reduce the effects of in-train forces among wagons during a train emergency braking. One contribution of this manuscript is that to improve the freight train efficiency in terms of braking performance, we consider that the train is composed of several train sections with each one characterised by its own overall payload.
