Operational excellence in railway transport and infrastructure, including best practices in rail flaw inspection, wheel performance, safety and derailment prevent, implementation of ECP brakes, strategies and technology for the management of track stability as well as taking a closer look at the influence of damaged tracks as leading cause of train derailments
Train accidents cause damage to infrastructure and rolling stock as well as service disruptions. This conference will discuss best practices and identification of common area of concern in monitoring of train wheel wear and track forces to prevent derailment, measurement of track geometry and evaluating the running dynamics, track speed measurement to identify where stress is hiding in railway systems, accuracy of wayside wheel measurements, as well as solutions to plan, build and maintain track and structures, railway noise, vibrations, dynamics of vehicle, tracks and superstructures, including rail tracks foundation designs, reinforcement and strengthening of existing railway lines, in order to improve railroad train operating safety.
