SUMMARY:RTSA Vic/Tas Chapter Event (Webinar) - Suburban Rail Loop
DESCRIPTION:Announced by the Victorian Government in 2018\, Suburban Rail Loop is a 90 kilometre orbital rail loop linking every major rail line from Cheltenham to Werribee\, via the airport\, and connecting major education\, health and employment precincts in Melbourne’s middle suburbs. This city and state-shaping project will transform how people move around Melbourne\, create thousands of jobs and will support the future liveability of Melbourne as a city of more than 8 million people. \nOver the past 18 months\, Suburban Rail Loop Authority has made significant progress in the planning and design of Stage One from Cheltenham to Box Hill – with early construction expected to start in 2022. \nThis is an opportunity to hear from representatives of Suburban Rail Loop Authority working on the development of the biggest rail infrastructure project in Victoria’s history. \nSpeakers:\n \nNicole Stoddart FIEAust CPEng NER Eng Exec FICE CB-U GAICD: Executive General Manager Rail & Infrastructure\, Suburban Rail Loop Authority \nNicole is the Executive General Manager\, Rail and Infrastructure for the Suburban Rail Loop Authority\, and is focused on delivering integrated transport solutions for all precincts from Cheltenham to the Airport. \nNicole is a Chartered Civil Engineer and Building Practitioner (Commercial Unlimited) with 25 years’ experience in the engineering and construction industry across multiple sectors and geographies. \n \nAlison Karmelich: Director Communications & Engagement\, Suburban Rail Loop Authority \nAlison is the Director Communications and Stakeholder Engagement for Suburban Rail Loop Authority\, and is keen to ensure Victorians are informed about the project and get their chance to have their say on this city and state-shaping project. \nAlison is a skilled communications and engagement professional\, with experience working across both government and the private sector. Alison has worked on other large infrastructure projects including the Metro Tunnel Project and level crossing removals. \n  \n(Note: This even is co-hosted with EA’s Civil College) \nClick on the link below to register

SUMMARY:RTSA Special Event (jointly with IMechE): Felix Schmid - "The Long History and Exciting Future of Railway Systems Thinking"
DESCRIPTION:This special event is co-hosted with Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) \nFelix Schmid\, Chair of the Railway Division of the IMechE for 2020-2021\, has chosen ‘The Long History and Exciting Future of Railway Systems Thinking’ as the theme for his Chair’s Address. \nHe will briefly discuss the concept of the railway as a system of systems and he will reflect on some of the good (and not so good) examples of systems thinking during the early development of the railway as a means of transport for goods and people. He will review some of the major technical breakthroughs that enable today’s high performance railways and he will reflect on some recent developments\, where he had an involvement. Felix will argue that not all technological progress is entirely fit for purpose. He will also include some thoughts on his career as an engineer and innovative educator \nSpeaker: Felix Schmid\nProgramme Director – MSc Railway Systems Engineering and Integration\, University of Birmingham\n\n\n\nBorn in Zürich\, Switzerland\, Felix Schmid graduated from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology with a degree in electrical and electronic engineering. Following a brief career in software analysis in his home country\, he moved to Manchester\, England\, to work for GEC Traction as a loco­motive con­trol systems engineer. \nIn 1982 he became a research engineer at UMIST and later a re­search assis­tant at the University of Salford. He then joined Brunel University as a lecturer in com­puter integ­rated manufacturing. In 1993\, he took up a post as a railway inspector with the Swiss Federal Office of Transport but realised quickly that he was not suited to a civil service role. After a year\, he re­turned to Britain and a senior lectureship at the University of Sheffield\, where he was employed to develop the MSc programme in Railway Systems Engineering. In 2005\, Felix and the programme transferred to the University of Birmingham and the Birmingham Centre for Railway Re­search and Education. Between 2005 and 2019\, he managed three railway related masters pro­grammes and he still supervises research in the areas of railway control\, railway operations and systems engineering. \nFelix became a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in 2003. He is on the Board and the Executive of the Railway Division and has led four Railway Technical Tours between 2016 and 2019. He is currently involved in the planning of the Railway Technical Tour 2020. Felix Schmid has pro­vided contributions to many IMechE railway conferences and seminars\, including ten Young Members’ seminars. He is also a fellow of the Institution of Railway Signalling Engineers and of the Permanent Way Institution. \n  \n\nClick on the link below to register:
