AS Eesti Liinirongid, operating as Elron, is a government-owned passenger train operator in Estonia.


The company was separated from Eesti Raudtee in 1998. Before 2014, the company operated exclusively the electrified commuter rail system in Harjumaa, and was known until October 2013 as Elektriraudtee, i.e. "the Electrical Railway". On January 1, 2014 Elron took over all domestic passenger train services in Estonia from Edelaraudtee.

Network



Inter-city rail


















Elron operates inter-city trains from Tallinn's Balti jaam on several lines: Tallinn–Tartu–Valga (connecting to Pasažieru vilciens trains to Riga), Tallinn–Tartu–Koidula, Tallinn–Narva, Tallinn–Pärnu and Tallinn–Viljandi.



Tallinn commuter rail










Tallinn commuter rail network is electrified, and it extends east and west from Balti jaam, the total length of the network being 132 km. The eastbound line goes to Aegviidu. The westbound line goes to the town of Keila, where it divides into two branches continuing towards the cargo-harbour city of Paldiski and inland to Riisipere. The Paldiski branch splits at Klooga, with a short spur going to the beach at Klooga-rand.


In 2007 Elektriraudtee opened its first express service from Tallinn to Keila, which stops only at the busiest stations. In 2008 the express service from Tallinn to Aegviidu was opened.


Work to upgrade track and stations has been ongoing since 2010.[1]



Rolling stock




Stadler Flirt in Keila


Elron currently uses Stadler FLIRT electric and diesel trains. Delivery of the 12 three-car and 6 four-car electric and 6 two-car, 8 three-car and 6 four-car diesel Stadler FLIRT trains built by Stadler Rail started in 2012; by June 2014 all trains have arrived in Estonia.[2][3]


As of 2017, all of the old soviet trains are retired.

Dulmage-Mendelsohn matrix decomposition in Python

Image
0 Matlab has a function called dmperm that computes the so-called Dulmage–Mendelsohn decomposition of a n x n matrix. From wikipedia, the Dulmage–Mendelsohn is a partition of the vertices of a bipartite graph into subsets, with the property that two adjacent vertices belong to the same subset if and only if they are paired with each other in a perfect matching of the graph. Looking both on scipy and numpy, I could not find this function, nor some similar version. Is it possible to implement it using basic linear algebra operations? Any idea if this is implemented in some Python package? python matlab linear-algebra graph-theory matrix-decomposition share | improve this question
