SUMMARY:Interoperability: New Standards for New Zealand Rail Vehicles
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this webinar to gain an overview of KiwiRail’s new standards for rail vehicle interoperability (M-ST-RS-8101\, M-ST-RS-8102\, and M-ST-RS-8103) that have been published in 2026 to replace NRSS/6. \n📅  12:00-1:00pm (NZST) Tuesday 30th June\n🌏  Online\n🎟️  Register for free on the Engineering New Zealand website: Interoperability: New Standards for New Zealand Rail Vehicles \nThis presentation explain key changes and improvements these standards introduce\, along with the reasoning behind changes\, a comparison against international best practice\, and the broader philosophy for rail vehicle interoperability requirements. Finally\, the presentation will look at opportunities for further improvement in harmonising standards between rail vehicles and rail infrastructure for New Zealand. \nThis webinar is ideal for engineers\, operators\, asset managers\, regulators\, and anyone involved in rail system design\, procurement\, or compliance who wants to stay informed about the latest developments in New Zealand’s rail standards framework. \nPresenter Bio \nAlex Raue is KiwiRail Infrastructure Engineering’s Professional Head for Interoperability. Alex rejoined KiwiRail in October 2023\, where he first began his career in rolling stock engineering in 2009. Alex spent 7 years in the United Kingdom working in passenger rolling stock\, where he led the design of Hitachi Rail’s Class 803 intercity EMUs.

SUMMARY:Digital Twins in Motion: Powering KiwiRail’s New Track Evaluation Car
DESCRIPTION:KiwiRail is harnessing the power of Digital Twin technology to revolutionise track monitoring\, join the RTSA New Zealand chapter online for a webinar on Digital Twins in Motion: Powering KiwiRail’s New Track Evaluation Car. \n📅  12:00-1:00pm NZST Monday 27th July \n🌏  Online \n🎟️  Register on the Engineering New Zealand website: Digital Twins in Motion: Powering KiwiRail’s New Track Evaluation Car \nJoin Chris Whyte (TEC Delivery Manager) and Aydin Partridge-Long (Product Owner – Digital Engineering) as they unveil how this cutting-edge model supports the new Track Evaluation Car\, and extends far beyond it. \nThis session will cover the technical delivery of the digital twin survey\, its integration with the TEC\, and the strategic roadmap for rolling out this capability across the wider business to unlock new operational use cases. \nPresenters\nChristopher Whyte is the KiwiRail Delivery Manager for the Track Evaluation Car Project within the Rolling Stock Contracts – Rolling Stock Asset Integrity Team. Since contract award\, he has led the delivery of the project\, bringing over 19 years of railway experience gained across the United Kingdom\, Southeast Asia\, and New Zealand. \nStarting his career as a Signalling Technician\, Christopher has built extensive experience in the delivery of complex railway projects and the application of systems engineering principles\, including requirements management\, system integration\, operational readiness\, and assurance. His combination of technical\, operational\, and project leadership expertise supports the successful delivery of critical rail asset programmes. \n  \nAydin Partridge-Long is a Product Owner at KiwiRail\, where he leads digital product initiatives that improve asset management\, safety\, and operational performance across the infrastructure business. With a background in product management\, digital transformation\, and organisational change\, Aydin has successfully delivered large-scale technology implementations and driven adoption of new ways of working across organisations. \nAt KiwiRail\, Aydin led the implementation and adoption of the XERRA\, a network visualisation platform\, achieving more than regular active daily users and establishing it as a valuable tool for understanding asset relationships and supporting better decision-making across the rail network.
