SUMMARY:NSW Chapter Event: AS 7501 and compliance certification
DESCRIPTION:Join the RTSA NSW Chapter and Michael Horgan (Principal Electrical Engineer\, Rail Confidence) in person at the Engineers Australia office in Sydney\, for a presentation on AS 7501 and compliance certification – not just ticking boxes\, on the evening of 6th September. \nClick here to register on the Engineers Australia website. \nEvent Overview\n\n5.30pm: Registration open and networking\n6.00pm: Presentation commence\n7.00pm: Presentation conclude and further networking\n7.30pm: Event close\n\nRefreshments and drinks will be provided. \nSince the Rail Industry Safety and Standards Board (RISSB) released AS7501 especially\, the use of Independent Certification has become part of the rolling stock acquisition project compliance landscape. \nWhile AS7501 was developed to provide a standard method for certifying rolling stock compliance to facilitate network registration of rolling stock\, there is significant value that can be obtained from implementing the AS7501 process. \nThis talk will consider how AS7501 supports the rolling stock registration processes. The Independent Certifier (IC) process will also be shown to be one of the key pillars of the assurance framework for a rolling stock procurement project. It will also highlight the additional value that an organisation can obtain by introducing AS7501 independent certification. AS7501 is not just a box ticking exercise. It has the potential to be an integral part of the risk management process and improve the outcomes of rolling stock acquisition projects.\nThere have been many large rolling stock acquisition projects in Australia in recent years. Since the Rail Industry Safety and Standards Board (RISSB) released AS7501 especially\, the use of Independent Certification has become part of the rolling stock acquisition project compliance landscape. It is important that independent certification is not seen as a box ticking exercise. \nWhile AS7501 was developed to provide a standard method for certifying rolling stock compliance to facilitate network registration of rolling stock\, there is significant value that can be obtained from implementing the AS7501 process. \nThis paper will consider how AS7501 supports the rolling stock registration processes. The Independent Certifier (IC) process will also be shown to be one of the key pillars of the assurance framework for a rolling stock procurement project. It will also highlight the additional value that an organisation can obtain by introducing AS7501 independent certification. AS7501 is not just a box ticking exercise. It has the potential to be an integral part of the risk management process and improve the outcomes of rolling stock acquisition projects. \nSpeaker\n \nMichael Horgan\nPrincipal Electrical Engineer\, Rail Confidence \nMichael Horgan is a highly experienced Principal Consultant and Rolling Stock Engineer who has spent his entire career in rail. He has worked for both private and public organisations across passenger and freight rail.

SUMMARY:On-Line Event: From big data to building the first autonomous train
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nRio Tinto’s autonomous train is 2.4km long\, consists of three locomotives and carries around 28\,000 tonnes of iron ore\, it travels over 280km. It’s the world’s first fully autonomous\, long distance\, heavy-haul rail network. The trains are giant autonomous robots because once they are set on their course\, they make all the decisions. \nThe AutoHaul™ team monitor the trains remotely from the Operations Centre in Perth (over 1\,500km away)\, they set the route and once the train is running the on-board computers and the computers in the Operations Centre take over and control the train. From setting the speed\, to avoiding collisions\, checking for obstructions at crossings and verifying there are no faults\, damage or broken couplings. \nLearn more about the innovation behind this world-first technology. \n \nAbout the speaker\nLido Costa\, MIEAust CPEng NER APEC Engineer IntPE(Aus)\, Lead Technical Engineer\, Rio Tinto \nLido was the Lead Technical Engineer on the AutoHaul® Driverless Trains system.

SUMMARY:NSW/ACT Chapter Event: Site Visit - Sydney Metro Trains Facility South
DESCRIPTION:The RTSA NSW/ACT Chapter and the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) NSW Branch have teamed up to arrange a site visit to Sydney Metro Trains Facility (South) (SMTF-S) at 09:00-11:00am on Wednesday 22nd March. \nThis tour will include a presentation by Systems Connect and Sydney Metro and a tour of the Sydney Metro Train Facility South site. \nPlease note that spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis\, click here for more information on the IET website and to register. \nAbout the site visit\nThe SMTFS site is located in Marrickville and is bounded by Sydney Steel Road and Edinburgh Road to the north\, Railway Parade to the east\, Sydenham Pit and Drainage Pumping Station to the southwest and the Sydney Trains rail corridor to the southeast. \nSydney Metro Trains Facility South will primarily be used for the stabling of trains while also being used to carry out light corrective maintenance to trains and related equipment also providing a secondary storage area. The facility will include the following key elements: \n\nA new stabling yard\nA new depot security centre and fire pump building\nA new maintenance workshop\nA new logistics shed\, associated external storage and bin store\nA new administration and depot control centre building\nA new ground water treatment plant\nNew hi-rail\, employee and visitor parking\nAssociated landscaping architecture works\n\nJoin us for a site visit starting with a presentation from System Connect and Sydney Metro on the delivery of the works and a site visit \nThe project has been designed with the following objectives in mind: \nBeing responsive to distinct contexts and communities \nSydney Metro’s identity is stronger for the unique conditions of centres and communities through which it passes. This local character is to be embraced through distinctive station architecture and public domain that is well integrated with the inherited urban fabric of existing places. It is intended that the trains facility and dive structure respond to their immediate context in a sympathetic way. The urban/community impact to streetscape and neighbourhood is a primary consideration. \nDelivering an enduring and sustainable legacy for Sydney  \nSydney Metro is a positive legacy for future generations. A high standard of design across the corridor\, stations and station precincts\, that sets a new benchmark\, is vital to ensuring the longevity of the Metro system\, its enduring contribution to civic life and an ability to adapt to a changing city over time. New built elements are to reflect the Sydney Metro identity\, being modern\, sophisticated and of its place and time. Screening and planting has been included where possible to minimise visual impact. The materials and construction used will have the necessary qualities to be serviceable\, and endurable enough to meet the required “Design Life”. Care in the detailing and finishing will ensure the buildings continue to be safe\, clean and present well with minimal maintenance. Service facilities by nature are required to be robust. Material choice will reflect the need to be ‘fit for purpose’. \n  \nSydney Metro Train Facility (South) Site Tour poster

SUMMARY:RTSA On-line Event: Adhesion condition estimation between wheels and rails
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis presentation will discuss how the adhesion condition between wheel and rail can be estimated and how the braking performance of a rail vehicle can be improved utilising the obtained adhesion information. The methodologies used for adhesion estimation are based on specially designed algorithm development\, numerical modelling\, and scaled laboratory experiment (Hardware-in-loop) techniques were used to analyse the braking performance. The presentation will also discuss the basics of wheel-rail contact mechanics\, rail braking control system\, friction\, and adhesion process at wheel-rail interface. \nAn ideal braking system not only ensures safety and ride comfort but also attracts significant cost-benefits through optimum on-time operation and reduction in wheel-rail damage processes. For such a braking system\, the adhesion condition information between the wheel and rail at contact interfaces during rail vehicle operation is essential. The adhesion estimation for the braking system is a complex task because it is influenced by design\, operational and environmental factors. The presentation is extracted from the presenter’s RTSA award winning PhD research work. \nAbout the speakers\nSundar Shrestha MIEAust\, Electrical Engineer – Traction Power\, Arup \nSundar Shrestha is traction power engineer in Arup Melbourne\, Australia. He has completed his PhD in railway engineering specializing in traction and braking from CQUniversity Australia.

SUMMARY:Qld Chapter Webinar Event: Introduction to rail traction power earthing and bonding systems
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nAttend this webinar to understand related risks in the rail environment and undertake a review of projects and the complexities encountered. \nThis presentation will outline: \n\nlearnings from recent rail projects\ntunnel environments where aspects of these complexities were encountered\nbrief introduction to the safety critical importance of Traction Power Earthing and Bonding systems.\n\nAdditional information\nManaging earthing related risk in the rail environment requires approaches that can be significantly different to those used for typical HV power systems. Hazardous voltages may be present not only under fault conditions but also due to the flow of traction currents under normal operations. Current draw of moving trains combined with currents injected by regenerative breaking\, results in a power system load flow analysis where the connection points of multiple sources and multiple loads move based on timetables. \nTypical earthing design approaches\, applicable to above ground meshed power systems\, are often difficult to implement in constrained tunnel environments where parallel exposure lengths are significant and available real estate is minimal. This combined with significantly higher likelihood of the presence of people\, adds additional complexity to earthing system design. \nAbout the speaker\nLachlan McKerrow\, Principal Engineer\, Safearth \nSince 1999 Lachlan has been in the discipline of earthing providing consulting expertise to a range of key infrastructure projects in the industrial\, transport and energy sectors. Now a Principal Engineer\, Lachlan is responsible for leading a team of consultants servicing the defence infrastructure\, rail\, tunnelling\, major construction as well as the renewable energy sectors. Lachlan graduated with BE (Elec) from the University of Newcastle in 1994 and worked for a small consulting firm servicing the mining and coal loading industry in Newcastle. Lachlan has 18 years’ experience in project management\, primary and secondary design\, training\, construction support\, field testing predominately in the area of earthing and lightning protection. \nClick on the link below to register for this event.

SUMMARY:EA Webinar Event - "Cybersecurity in the railway industry"
DESCRIPTION:Cybersecurity is a hot topic worldwide with attacks being performed against multiple domains. Over the past 5 years there has been a major increase in attacks on the railway system with a number denial of service and ransomware attacks being announced. \nThe railway industry is clearly a target for cyber criminals\, and it is clearly hard to defend due to the inherent geographical distribution and technologically speaking the railway systems are designed with safety and availability rather than any focus on security. The railway becomes more of a target now as it starts to move to computer-based systems using IP protocols and wireless communication and networking. \nThere has been a recent release of a CENELEC Standard (EN 50701) to deal with Cyber Security for Railway Applications where this builds on the underlying standards such as ISO 27001 and IEC 62443. \nJoin subject matter experts as they provide an overview of why cybersecurity is important in the railway industry\, highlighting attacks which have been executed on railways and asking the question as to whether your systems are protected\, with your railway network and assets being monitored for attacks. \n  \nThis is a free Engineers Australia event.  Click on the link below to register

SUMMARY:NZ Chapter Event: Mainline Track Upgrades: Auckland-Wellington and Sydney-Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:Join the Railway Technical Society of Australasia New Zealand Chapter online with Dr Philip Laird to discuss ‘Mainline Track Upgrades: Auckland – Wellington and Sydney – Melbourne’ at 12:30-1:30pm NZT on the 17th November 2021. \nRegister here. \nAuckland and Wellington are linked by the North Island Main Trunk (NIMT) narrow gauge railway of length 681km. Sydney and Melbourne are now linked by a standard gauge railway of length 960 km. Both railways include challenging terrain. \nAn outline is given of former improvements for each of the NIMT railway and the Melbourne to Sydney railway that include deviations for grade easing. Many of the NIMT deviations have led to a reduction in distance. By way of contrast\, each NSW main south line deviation has resulted in extra distance. Further contrasts include electrification of most of the NIMT during the 1980s\, and\, the NIMT gaining Centralised traffic control signalling for most of its length some 42 years ahead of the Melbourne to Sydney railway. \nSome planned and possible upgrades are outlined for the NIMT. The paper concludes that in order for the Sydney Melbourne railway to win more freight and passenger traffic\, some track straightening is essential. \nSpeaker\nDr Philip Laird\nHonorary Associate Professor\, the University of Wollongong \nDr Philip Laird is a graduate of Victoria University of Wellington\, the Australian National University in Canberra and the University of Calgary in Canada. He is currently an Honorary Associate Professor at the University of Wollongong and his land transport research appears in journals and refereed conference papers. \nHis recent work includes the potential benefits of the development of Medium Speed Rail to connect for NSW regional centres to Sydney and an Inland Railway linking Melbourne and Brisbane though Parkes being constructed to modern engineering standards. \nOn Australia Day 2021 Philip was awarded an OAM “For service to the rail freight and passenger transport industry.” \nClick here register on the Engineering New Zealand website.
