SUMMARY:RTSA - Qld Chapter Event - In-Cab Signalling Knowledge Share
DESCRIPTION:The signalling system on the railway is often the restrictive factor in determining the frequency of trains that can safely run on the rail network. Recent advances in technology have allowed for the implementation of traditional rail signalling principles in a smarter way\, allowing for signals themselves to be removed and the equivalent information instead being presented to the driver ‘in-cab’. \nIn-cab signalling technology is being deployed worldwide\, with Australia having committed to its implementation in multiple states. Whilst this technology predominantly focuses on the signalling discipline\, projects that use it must consider the entire rail system\, and therefore have a multi-disciplinary approach. \nThis presentation will explore the reasons for which an in-cab signalling technology may be chosen and the benefits of its implementation. It will discuss the safety improvements that can be realised and the capacity increases that it may bring\, before moving on to give a technical overview of how such in-cab signalling systems are designed\, including the considerations that should be taken by other disciplines. Lastly\, the presentation will give lessons learned from existing project implementations in both the UK and Australia. \nMeet Our Speaker: Georgina Hartwell – Associate Rail Systems Engineer \nIn this session\, Georgina will share her experiences in implementing in-cab signalling on the Thameslink Project in London and in working on similar such projects across Australia. She will give an overview of in-cab technologies such as ETCS and CBTC\, and discuss some lessons learned that should be considered for future projects. \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:Qld Event (Webinar) - Automating Rail Network Asset Management and Inspections
DESCRIPTION:Understand critical points of inspection in railway assets to safety and efficiency of maintenance strategies of railway operations using automated technology for asset management. This presentation will be delivered in two parts. \nPart 1: Automating Rail Network Asset Management (presented by Daniel Buntine)\nUsing automated inspection systems\, Aurizon Network is on a journey to ramp up network inspections to meet the requirements of a modern heavy-haul railway. Aurizon Network operates Australia’s busiest coal transport system\, and with such immense traffic comes rapid degradation of asset condition\, quality and performance. Through targeted investment in emerging technology to link developments in asset measurement\, telecommunications\, data analysis and asset management\, Aurizon is on track to monitor critical safety parameters much more frequently and facilitate a shift towards more predictive maintenance and renewals across the asset portfolio. Two case studies will focus on how the $30m annual rail replacement programme is now generated accurately at the push of a button\, as well as new industry-leading technology being trialled to increase measurement frequency of track and overhead traction geometry by up to 100-fold. \nDaniel Buntine\, MIEAust CPEng\, Asset Management Engineer\, Aurizon \nDaniel is an engineer and data guru in Aurizon’s Network Asset Management area. He is passionate about leveraging technology and crunching numbers to help make better business decisions that lead to improved operational performance for Aurezon’s customers. Daniel has previously completed investigations into extreme rail temperatures under traffic at Connors Range near Sarina\, the relationship between curve superelevation imbalance and rail wear\, as well as spearheading visualisation of asset information\, activities and disruptions through GIS platforms. \nPart 2: Inspections via Machine Vision and Why You Should Be Excited (presented by Nicholas Keogh) \nThe maintenance of a railway poses numerous unique engineering challenges\, many of which are exacerbated by the physical environment in which the railway exists. A heavy haul railway can stretch over thousands of kilometres\, often to remote locations\, and is directly exposed to harsh physical conditions all year round. Exposure to such elements raises the risk of failure and necessitates that the condition of the railway is continuously monitored to ensure safe operation; this poses a significant logistical challenge to maintainers. How best to safely and efficiently provide maintainers with the inspections they need to manage the asset? In 2019\, Aurizon embarked on a trial of using an inspection regime that relied on autonomous object detection within videos captured from track vehicles\, with the aim of using machine learning to identify and report on basic defects. \nThis presentation will provide an overview to the problems being sought by the trial\, the process followed throughout as well as what it was able to find. \nNicholas Keogh\, Senior Track & Civil Engineer\, Aurizon \nNicholas Keogh is a distinguished Senior Track & Civil Engineer who’s worked in various streams of the transport sector for over 10 years. He found his engineering passion while finishing his trade in aviation maintenance at Boeing before moving on to the Heavy Haul railway industry where he’s spent the last eight years with Aurizon. When he’s not wading through asset data and automating solutions to meet business needs\, he’s looking into how we can use today’s technology to provide a safer future. \nClick on the link below to register:

SUMMARY:Qld Event (Webinar) - Reliability Improvement - A Case Study from the Rail Sector
DESCRIPTION:Across all infrastructure sectors\, asset managers face an ubiquitous challenge of working within constrained budgets to deliver services to the satisfaction of the communities and customers they serve. This challenge is pronounced in the rail sector\, where a single equipment failure on the rail network can lead to cascading\, widespread losses of customer connectivity and productivity. \nFor this event\, Frank Gabriel\, Principal Consultant at Railconfidence\, will present a case study on a reliability improvement program undertaken for a major Australian rail operator. \nLike all modern railways\, this major Australian operator uses a fleet of mobile equipment to maintain their rail infrastructure. Over years\, this fleet had become quite diverse with a mix of make\, age and capability\, and these variations made it difficult to meet production and reliability targets within the allocated budget. \nAn increase in the traffic task on the network and changing business environment meant that performance of the fleet became more critical. Breakdowns could lead to degraded infrastructure and leave the railway unable to meet transport contracts. \nA program to renew the fleet with modern\, high production equipment would take three to five years\, assuming that funding could be found in a capital constrained environment. In the meantime\, a reliability improvement program was undertaken to improve the performance of the existing fleet. \nThe approach was to identify the key drivers of reliability\, and implement targeted\, practical improvements to address each of these factors. This case study describes the process used\, what drivers were identified and what improvement strategies were implemented. \nSpeaker: Frank Gabriel\, Principal Consultant\, Railconfidence \nFrank Gabriel is a Principal Consultant with Railconfidence Pty Ltd. He is a professional engineer and manager with 35 years of experience in rail infrastructure equipment and rolling stock. He has been involved with the acquisition\, operation and maintenance of significant rail infrastructure plant involving: Rail supply and distribution\, Ballast cleaning\, Grinding\, Resurfacing\, Construction and Re-sleepering. \nWith a special interest in maintenance management and reliability improvement initiatives\, his focus is on maximising asset productivity using appropriate technology and resources. \n  \nNote: This is an AMCouncil Event.  Fees for non-members are applicable. \nClick on the link below to register:

SUMMARY:EA Event (Webinar) - Costa Rica's San Jose Metro Build and Tunnelling Project
DESCRIPTION:Mobility is an important issue for all cities\, big or small\, since traffic and congestion are common urban problems everywhere. San José\, the capital city of Costa Rica\, is not an exception. \nDifferent efforts have been made so far to address the growing mobility problem of the city\, where people can spend more than 90 minutes to go through its 8.5 km length during rush hours. Most of these efforts are not enough and the city continues to be a hard-to-travel place. Thus\, alternative solutions as light train\, Tram\, monorail\, RTB or a Metro have been proposed to improve mobility in the future. \nThis presentation focuses on one of these proposed projects: an underground metro system. Considered as one of the most financial resources demanding solutions it is\, at the same time\, the most effective. The proposed solution comprises four lanes\, developed in progressive stages for a total cost of US$4.7 billion for 48.4 km total length and approximately 17 years of continuous construction. The project is only at the preliminary stage and it is not an approved project\, but a proposal from a group of the civil society to improve the quality of life of Costa Rican inhabitants. Private funding is seen as the only realistic means to develop such a project under a concession scheme. \nSpeaker: Marco Tapio\, Civil Engineer\, University of Costa Rica \nMarco Tapia is a Civil Engineer from the University of Costa Rica\, where he also obtained\, with honours\, a Master of Science Degree in Geotechnics. In addition\, he obtained a Master’s degree in Tunnels and Tunnel Boring Machines at the Polytechnic of Turin\, Italy. \nMarco is a professor of the Master’s in Civil Engineering at the University of Costa Rica where he teaches the Underground Engineering course\, as well as at the Costa Rican Institute of Technology where he teaches the Applied Geology course for the Construction Engineering degree.

SUMMARY:Joint RTSA NZ Chapter / CORE Connect Event: Development of Structural health-index based national asset management system
DESCRIPTION:Join the Railway Technical Society of Australasia and Rudolph Kotze to discuss KiwiRail’s approach to developing a national Structural health-index based asset management system . This presentation is being held as a joint RTSA New Zealand meeting in Wellington and will also be broadcast live as a CORE Connect Webinar \nKiwiRail\, as the manager and operator of New Zealand’s national rail network\, is dependent on reliable assets to support the goal of delivering profitable and cost-effective freight and passenger services. In order to achieve these and other safety-related organisational goals\, asset\, and risk management planning as well as accurate prioritisation of capital investment\, it is necessary to ensure that the assets remain fit for purpose and operate within acceptable engineering safety limits. There must be an evidence-based\, scientific way of managing the assets despite the shortfalls with the funding and other setbacks. \nThe KiwiRail Structures Team has developed a system-based method of assessing individual structures\, unique in New Zealand\, to provide a health-index based on a number of key risk criteria. It provides valuable information\, not only for KiwiRail asset managers (regional and head office) to prioritise assets for regular maintenance\, but also for stakeholders including contractors to obtain key information on each asset requiring intervention. In addition to the framework\, through the application of field-mobility\, condition data is now captured digitally and uploaded remotely to a central asset management system. Currently around 400 of the 1700 bridges on the KiwiRail network have been assessed and it is intended to be progressively extended to also cover tunnels and other structures. \nSpeaker: Rudolph Kotze\, Professional Head Structures\, KiwiRail \nRudolph Kotze is responsible for technical standards and strategy for KiwiRail’s structures. He also provides technical advice to the wider business and is focused on ensuing that best-practice asset and risk management principles are developed and implemented. He has been involved in bridge and structures design and asset management for over 30 years\, working in various technical and management roles in South Africa\, New Zealand and Australia. \nWhen: Wednesday 4th November\, 6pm -7pm New Zealand time ( 4pm-5pm AEST)\nWhere: Engineering New Zealand\, Level 6\, NEC House\, Taranaki Street\, Wellington and Online\nCost: FREE \nClick on the link below to register (for those attending via webinar link will be shared once you have registered):
