Au-delà de ses travailleurs (salariés ou indépendants) et de ses fournisseurs, l’entreprise recourt à de nombreux partenaires qui, de manière ponctuelle ou sous forme de collaborations durables, lui permettent de réaliser ses affaires. L’objectif poursuivi par ces « partenariats » est multiple : il vise notamment à réaliser des économies d’échelle par la mise en commun de ressources tout en préservant les autonomies sur les plans juridique et financier, à s’assurer la disponibilité d’appuis ou de moyens extérieurs, à acquérir de la notoriété, etc. Sous réserve du respect des règles protégeant la libre concurrence et de certaines législations impératives telles que les règles en matière de pratiques du marché ou en matière de concessions exclusives de vente, ces contrats relèvent de l’autonomie de la volonté. Le développement et la diversification de ces partenariats aux formes et objectifs multiples justifient cependant un examen des principales règles juridiques qui peuvent s’y appliquer. Dans cet ouvrage sont abordés les thèmes suivants :- l’obligation d’information précontractuelle imposée depuis 2005 à tous les partenaires commerciaux, par François Glansdorff et Marie Dupont,- la franchise et les réseaux de distribution, deux des partenariats les plus courants, au bénéfice de la pratique de Marie Canivet et de Laurent du Jardin,- le régime de la vente commerciale (et internationale), par Erik Van den Haute et Charles-Edouard Lambert,- les contrats multipartites, par Paul Alain Foriers

This book focuses on selected research problems of contemporary railways. The first chapter is devoted to the prediction of railways development in the nearest future. The second chapter discusses safety and security problems in general, precisely from the system point of view. In the third chapter, both the general approach and a particular case study of a critical incident with regard to railway safety are presented. In the fourth chapter, the question of railway infrastructure studies is presented, which is devoted to track superstructure. In the fifth chapter, the modern system for the technical condition monitoring of railway tracks is discussed. The compact on-board sensing device is presented. The last chapter focuses on modeling railway vehicle dynamics using numerical simulation, where the dynamical models are exploited.

From the mid-nineteenth century onwards, railways became increasingly important in the lives of a growing number of Indians. While allowing millions to collectively experience the endemic discomforts of third-class travel, the public opportunities for proximity and contact created by railways simultaneously compelled colonial society to confront questions about exclusion, difference, and community. It was not only passengers, however, who were affected by the transformations that railways wrought. Even without boarding a train, one could see railway tracks and embankments reshaping familiar landscapes, realise that train schedules represented new temporal structures, fear that spreading railway links increased the reach of contagion, and participate in new forms of popular politics focused around railway spaces. Tracks of Change explores how railway technology, travel, and infrastructure became increasingly woven into everyday life in colonial India, how people negotiated with the growing presence of railways, and how this process has shaped India's history.

This is the first book to offer a complete spectrum of the role that operations research has played and can play in the improvement of North American freight railroads. It explores how decisions are made at railroads, contains examples of the mathematical programming formulations to the complex problems, and provides insights into real-world applications. The handbook is divided into eleven chapters, covering topics including scheduling problems, empty railcar distribution, and intermodal rail. These topics have been specifically selected to offer a thorough examination of the application of operations research at freight railroads. The chapters are written by recognized award-winning scholars and practitioners with a deep knowledge and understanding of their specific topics. The Handbook of Operations Research Applications at Railroads is an ideal resource for academics, experienced researchers, and consultants in the field.
