Overview This presentation will provide high level overview of the current heavy and light rail projects underway on the Gold Coast, including the next stages of the Gold Coast Light Rail, the three new heavy rail stations located on the Gold Coast, the Logan to Gold Coast Faster Rail. The update will also include the […]
Overview Wheel diameter differences (WDD) on railway vehicles impact the dynamic behaviour, the traction system performance and rail damage. It is well known that the various types of algorithms that govern locomotive adhesion control systems may compensate for the presence of WDD. However, detailed studies on the influence of adhesion control algorithms on rail wear […]
Overview This event is one of the premier occasions on the Queensland Rail Industry’s calendar and provides an excellent opportunity for networking across all sectors and disciplines. After record attendance in 2022, where there was a delightfully varied mix of young and seasoned professionals, we're expecting interest this year to be strong. Guests will be […]
The 2023 Australasian Rail Industry Awards will be held on Wednesday 13 September at the Crown Towers, Melbourne. The Australasian Rail Industry Awards recognise and celebrate the achievements, innovation, and successes of those working in the rail industry. The Infrastructure Project Excellence Award and Young Rail Professional Award, both sponsored by RTSA, are presented at […]
Brakes are indispensable and safety-critical systems for all types of railway trains including passenger (high-speed, metro, tram, etc.) and freight trains (heavy-haul, intermodal, etc.). Safe and efficient railway operations require a good understanding of brakes from various parties including drivers, maintenance crews, manufacturers, and design engineers. Brake research helps to expand and deepen the knowledge […]

Overview In recent years, Queensland Rail (QR) has upgraded parts of its Inner-City network to allow for electro-pneumatic turnout operation. The largest concentration of existing electro-pneumatic operated points is located in the Roma Street area. As a variation to the Cross River Rail (CRR) UNITY Rail Infrastructure Systems (RIS) Alliance scope, a design package […]
Overview This presentation examines the evolution of rail signal sighting, a process that has traditionally been fraught with challenges, through the lens of digital technology. We explore how digital tools have not only improved the accuracy of signal sighting but also made the process more accessible to a wider range of stakeholders. Rail signal […]
The RTSA and EA are delighted to host a one-of-kind sneak peek into the future of communications in the railways. This hybrid event (in-person and online) will be presented by Mr Rory R. McDonnell from Nokia, who will discuss the technical systems underpinning automated train operation, smart rail maintenance, and 5G Rail. The event […]

Overview Recent developments in rail signalling technology have led to the advanced concept of Virtual Coupling. Trains are envisaged to exchange real-time information with each other via a Vehicle-to-Vehicle radio communication layer to allow a much shorter separation and the formation of radio-linked train platoons. Such a concept would unleash the full capacity potential […]
