SUMMARY:RTSA Qld Chapter Event (Webinar) - Perspectives\, Innovations and Developments in Heavy Haul Train Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:The handling of long heavy trains on track gradients is dependent on the performance of the brake and traction systems\, and the train handling experience and route knowledge of the driver.  The purpose of this presentation is to provide some understanding of the factors affecting the safe operation of heavy trains descending long track gradients. \nExplore the concepts of heavy haul train dynamics\, their successes\, innovations and future progressions. \nHeavy haul railways are one of the great success stories of the railway industry. There is no match for the scale and transportation capability of these systems for overland transport. Their owners continue to push new limits of materials\, rollingstock components\, track structures and train controls to achieve both optimised and consistent railway operations. \nThe webinar will present and discuss: \n\nFactors that drive the heavy haul success story\nCharacteristics of Heavy Haul Systems\nA Longitudinal Dynamics Perspective\nFrontiers for the Future\n\nSpeaker: Professor Colin Cole MIEAust CPEng NER APEC Engineer IntPE(Aus)\, Director – Centre for Railway Engineering\, CQUniversity \nColin has worked in railway research for 25 years and published over 150 technical papers and numerous reports working mainly in train dynamics and condition monitoring. Colin is the current chair of the RTSA Queensland Chapter Committee. \nClick on the link below to register

SUMMARY:Special Webinar RTSA Awards 2020 and Guest Talk: "The Mobility Revolution" from Futurist Steve Sammartino
DESCRIPTION:Technology and human movement are inextricably linked. The level of our technology is dictated by the how\, where and why of travel and\, while it is easy to believe we are going through a digital revolution – it’s actually all about mobility. Mobility of information\, data\, energy\, people and work.  In this presentation\, keynote speaker Steve Sammartino\, will break down the underlying theme and explore how transport will morph in the future and what it means for industry\, where and how we work and live. The good news is that we are the generation that gets to reshape it all. \nPrior to the presentation the Railway Technical Society of Australasia (RTSA) will announce the following awards. \n\nRailway Student Thesis Award\nRailway PhD Thesis Award\nRailway Professional of the Year Award\nRTSA Individual Award\nRTSA Biennial Railway Project Award\n\nKeynote Speaker: Steve Sammartino \nSteve is Australia’s leading Futurist. He’s created technology world firsts\, written extensively and has a rare ability to communicate it all on stage. His high-octane keynote will change how you see the world. Steve starting coding at age 10 and had his first startup by age 12. He has since built and sold a number of businesses. As a futurist\, he’s ahead of his time. He launched one of the first Sharing Economy Startups – Rentoid.com in 2006. Respected global business media including Forbes\, Fast Company and TechCrunch credited it as the start of the sharing economy movement giving birth to Uber and Airbnb. Steve later sold it to a publicly traded company in Australia. \nHe is mentor for startup entrepreneurs and a technology investor. Steve’s ability to see the future is ratified by this fact: His portfolio has grown more than 100x the original investment. Steve built the world’s first drivable car entirely out of Lego. It’s had more than 100 million views globally. (He had to fight off Jay Leno who was desperate to have it in his garage). He put a toy space shuttle into actual earth orbit by hacking together a rig for under $2000\, and he’s on the technical advisory committee for the design of Australia’s new drone regulations. Steve is currently building the world’s most modern house – it will be 3D printed too! The subject of a new documentary film.

SUMMARY:TSA Event (Webinar) - Light Rail - Lessons Learnt
DESCRIPTION:Light rail is having a huge resurgence across the world\, including in Australia. Melbourne has the world’s largest tram network\, but what can we learn from these new systems?  This seminar will focus on lessons learned from the operation of Melbourne’s light rail network\, benchmarking of interstate and international light rail networks and the development of Australia’s newest light rail systems in Newcastle\, Canberra\, Sydney and the Gold Coast. \nGuest Speakers: \nEmilie Van de Graaff: Director\, Passenger and Network Innovation\, Keolis Downer (Yarra Trams) \nEmilie believes that a sustainable public transport system forms an integral part of a liveable city\, contributing to positive outcomes for the citizens\, visitors and the environment.  Emilie works closely with the Department of Transport; her role encompasses network planning and development\, passenger experience and marketing\, accessibility and innovation. She has 20 years’ experience in the transport sector\, having worked at Transdev from 2011 to early 2017 and prior to that\, eleven years in the UK\, firstly for a public transport authority and later in a transport planning consultancy. \nScott Elaurant: Director and Principal\, Six Cats Consulting \nScott Elaurant is a transport planner with 35 years’ experience in infrastructure planning and business cases. He worked for Jacobs for 13 years in South Australia and prior to that for Queensland Transport and Main Roads. In recent years Scott has focused on light rail and other public transport projects. He was transport planning lead for the Auckland Light Rail. He was transport planning or concept design lead for the Glenelg Tram Stage1\, Stage 2 and Tram Overpass. Previously for QTMR he worked on a proposed Brisbane Light Rail\, South East Transit Busway and route planning for the Gold Coast LRT. Scott is a member of the US Transport Research Board Light Rail Committee. He is the chair of Transport Australia Society for South Australia. As Six Cats Consulting\, Scott offers services in planning and economics for active transport\, public transport (particularly light rail) and streetscapes.
