SUMMARY:Insight into Rollingstock Engineering Course 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Railway Technical Society of Australasia (RTSA) will conduct the Insight into Rollingstock Engineering course in Sydney in April 2021. \nDay 1: Thursday 29th April 2021\, 12:00-5:00pm AEST\, Sydney NSW \nDay 2: Friday 30th April 2021\, 08:30-5:00pm AEST\, Sydney NSW \nThis 1.5-day introductory course will provide an insight into the principles used in the design\, manufacture and maintenance of railway rollingstock including locomotives\, passenger cars\, multiple unit trains and freight wagons. Presenters are Engineering Consultants and members of the RTSA. This is a great opportunity to learn direct from experienced engineers who have each worked in the rail industry for over 40 years. \nThis course is designed for those new to the industry and those required to liaise with rail engineers involved with rollingstock acquisition\, operation and whole of life support projects as well as the interface between each of the operating systems. \nThis course was previously offered jointly with the Australasian Railway Association (ARA); employees of ARA members and RTSA members are eligible for the member rate. \nClick image below for course flyer: \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nClick here to register \nCourse Fee\n\nARA/RTSA members – $1\,240\nNon-members – $1\,620\n\nCourse Speakers\nJohn Watsford BSc (Elec Eng)\, FIE Aust\, Life Member RTSA\, Engineering Consultant\nIan Rossow BTech Elect\, MIE Aust\, Engineering Consultant\nColin Butcher OAM\, BSC (Mech Eng)\,  FIE Aust\, Engineering Consultant \nCourse Program\nType of Rollingstock\nWhy use rail; Gauge; Locomotives; Passenger; Freight \nRollingstock Dynamics – Adhesion\nWheel/Rail Interface; Tractive Effort; Design \nBogies\nSprings; Powered Bogies; Trailer Bogies; Other –Rack\, Tilting; Wheelsets \nDiesel Elec Loco Design – Engines – AC/DC –Auxiliaries\nSelection of loco type; Traction and Control Systems; Auxiliaries; Cabs \nFreight Wagons\nTypes; Dimensions and capacities; Materials; Couplers \nPassenger Rollingstock – Types\nService speed; Loco hauled; Push-pull; EMU; DMU; Single-Double deck \nPassenger Rollingstock – Design\nBody construction; Definitions; Passenger areas; Bogie type; Fire safety; Tunnel operation \nPassenger Rollingstock – Devices\nTypes of motor drive; Diesel; Control systems \nBraking Systems\nConcepts; Types; Air System; Control Equipment; Performance \nRailway Safety\nRail Safety Act; RISSB Codes of Practice; OH&S; Effects of Operation; Safe working \nManagement of Risk\nRisk Management; Mitigation; Registration of rollingstock \nMaintenance\nWhole of Life Asset Management; Maintenance planning; Maintenance strategies \nSupport Services\nFacilities; Staffing; Inventory control \nInterfaces\nWheel/Race Interface; Signalling; Supply; Environmental; Communications; Train Crew Interface
