SUMMARY:ETCS (European Train Control System) Lessons from Australia and New Zealand
DESCRIPTION:The RTSA New Zealand Chapter invite you to join this webinar presented by Doc Frank Heibel. Doc Frank will present several lessons gained from his own experience and market observations\, providing attendees with a comprehensive perspective of the European Train Control System (ETCS) developments in our region. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n⏰ 12 – 1pm NZST📅  Tuesday 1st July🌏  Online via Webinar🎫  Register for the event below \n\n\n\nOverview\n\n\nETCS is an advanced train control system designed to improve safety\, efficiency and capacity on railway network. The first ETCS-related activity in Australia took place almost 20 years ago. Various ETCS projects in Australia and New Zealand since then offer valuable lessons for anyone involved in current or future projects or generally interested in this popular train control technology. This presentation will provide several insights on market observations and will provide attendees with a comprehensive perspective of the ETCS developments in our region. \n\nDoc Frank’ as he is widely known in the rail industry is one of Australia’s most renowned experts on High-Capacity Signalling including CBTC (Communication Based Train Control System) and enhanced varieties of ETCS. Frank worked on the strategies for Digital Signalling in Sydney and Perth\, one leading to ETCS and one to CBTC recommendations. Other relevant roles included technical CBTC advisory for Sydney Metro Northwest and specialist peer reviews for the Metro Tunnel Project in Melbourne and Cross River Rail in Brisbane.For the last ten years Frank has been the only person in Australia offering training courses for CBTC\, ETCS and High-Capacity Signalling that are famously suitable for rail professionals regardless of their level of signalling knowledge prior to the training. Frank single-handedly organised the first global virtual CBTC conference and hosted one hundred episodes of the popular podcast “Railway Conversations with Doc Frank” which can be found on YouTube\, Apple Podcasts and Spotify. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
