SUMMARY:International Workshop on Railway Brake Research (On-line)
DESCRIPTION: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 about railway train brakes. \nDriven by the rapid development of Intelligent Transport Systems and the ever-increasing demands for faster and heavier trains\, as well as energy savings and sustainability\, railway brake research has seen a new wave of interests from the industry and academia. Under these situations\, we propose an International Workshop on Railway Brake Research to boost brake research. The International Workshop on Railway Brake Research will be virtually hosted by CRE of Central Queensland University (Australia) and DIEF of University of Florence (Italy) from 19-20 September 2023. This virtual conference will bring together the latest research to achieve a better understanding of the behaviour and mechanisms of railway brake systems and associated phenomena. \nTopics of interest include\, but are not limited to: \n\nPassenger and freight train brake systems Innovative brake system designs\nExperimental study and field testing of train brake systems Fluid dynamics in brake systems\nReal-time brake models including empirical models\nNumerical methods for brake modelling\nParameterisation of brake systems\nFriction and adhesion in brake systems\nCondition monitoring for brake systems\nStochastic features in brake systems\nAdaptive brake modelling for automated train driving\n\nRegister via the link below

SUMMARY:RTSA On-line Event: Adhesion condition estimation between wheels and rails
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis presentation will discuss how the adhesion condition between wheel and rail can be estimated and how the braking performance of a rail vehicle can be improved utilising the obtained adhesion information. The methodologies used for adhesion estimation are based on specially designed algorithm development\, numerical modelling\, and scaled laboratory experiment (Hardware-in-loop) techniques were used to analyse the braking performance. The presentation will also discuss the basics of wheel-rail contact mechanics\, rail braking control system\, friction\, and adhesion process at wheel-rail interface. \nAn ideal braking system not only ensures safety and ride comfort but also attracts significant cost-benefits through optimum on-time operation and reduction in wheel-rail damage processes. For such a braking system\, the adhesion condition information between the wheel and rail at contact interfaces during rail vehicle operation is essential. The adhesion estimation for the braking system is a complex task because it is influenced by design\, operational and environmental factors. The presentation is extracted from the presenter’s RTSA award winning PhD research work. \nAbout the speakers\nSundar Shrestha MIEAust\, Electrical Engineer – Traction Power\, Arup \nSundar Shrestha is traction power engineer in Arup Melbourne\, Australia. He has completed his PhD in railway engineering specializing in traction and braking from CQUniversity Australia.

SUMMARY:Qld Chapter Webinar Event: Introduction to rail traction power earthing and bonding systems
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nAttend this webinar to understand related risks in the rail environment and undertake a review of projects and the complexities encountered. \nThis presentation will outline: \n\nlearnings from recent rail projects\ntunnel environments where aspects of these complexities were encountered\nbrief introduction to the safety critical importance of Traction Power Earthing and Bonding systems.\n\nAdditional information\nManaging earthing related risk in the rail environment requires approaches that can be significantly different to those used for typical HV power systems. Hazardous voltages may be present not only under fault conditions but also due to the flow of traction currents under normal operations. Current draw of moving trains combined with currents injected by regenerative breaking\, results in a power system load flow analysis where the connection points of multiple sources and multiple loads move based on timetables. \nTypical earthing design approaches\, applicable to above ground meshed power systems\, are often difficult to implement in constrained tunnel environments where parallel exposure lengths are significant and available real estate is minimal. This combined with significantly higher likelihood of the presence of people\, adds additional complexity to earthing system design. \nAbout the speaker\nLachlan McKerrow\, Principal Engineer\, Safearth \nSince 1999 Lachlan has been in the discipline of earthing providing consulting expertise to a range of key infrastructure projects in the industrial\, transport and energy sectors. Now a Principal Engineer\, Lachlan is responsible for leading a team of consultants servicing the defence infrastructure\, rail\, tunnelling\, major construction as well as the renewable energy sectors. Lachlan graduated with BE (Elec) from the University of Newcastle in 1994 and worked for a small consulting firm servicing the mining and coal loading industry in Newcastle. Lachlan has 18 years’ experience in project management\, primary and secondary design\, training\, construction support\, field testing predominately in the area of earthing and lightning protection. \nClick on the link below to register for this event.

SUMMARY:EA Webinar Event - "Cybersecurity in the railway industry"
DESCRIPTION:Cybersecurity is a hot topic worldwide with attacks being performed against multiple domains. Over the past 5 years there has been a major increase in attacks on the railway system with a number denial of service and ransomware attacks being announced. \nThe railway industry is clearly a target for cyber criminals\, and it is clearly hard to defend due to the inherent geographical distribution and technologically speaking the railway systems are designed with safety and availability rather than any focus on security. The railway becomes more of a target now as it starts to move to computer-based systems using IP protocols and wireless communication and networking. \nThere has been a recent release of a CENELEC Standard (EN 50701) to deal with Cyber Security for Railway Applications where this builds on the underlying standards such as ISO 27001 and IEC 62443. \nJoin subject matter experts as they provide an overview of why cybersecurity is important in the railway industry\, highlighting attacks which have been executed on railways and asking the question as to whether your systems are protected\, with your railway network and assets being monitored for attacks. \n  \nThis is a free Engineers Australia event.  Click on the link below to register
