SUMMARY:RTSA - Qld Chapter Seminar: Multiple Unit Traction Motor Bearing Failure Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Queensland Rail aims to be Australia’s best performing railway\, delivering safe\, on time\, customer-focused and efficient rail services.  To achieve this\, traction motor bearing failure is being investigated to determine how and when rolling element bearings are likely to fail.  Traction motor bearing failure has previously been unpredictable on Queensland Rail rolling stock and can contribute to service delays or cancellations.  Therefore\, engineers at Queensland Rail are developing techniques to diagnose and predict rolling element bearing failure through vibration condition monitoring. \nOur keynote speakers will be Voon Wong\, Andrew Roche and Rachel Quarman from Queensland Rail Operating Assets Engineering who were all directly involved with the project. They will provide you with an insight into the project\, the processes they used\, and the progress of the analysis on traction motor bearings. \nClick on link below to register.

SUMMARY:RTSA WA Event - Artificial Intelligence for Digital Train Control
DESCRIPTION:Most train control systems require a human driver to interpret real time information and respond to this information. The human driver controls the vehicle following the defined rules. Adherence to the rules is often supervised with automated interventions to mitigate the risk of human error\, for example\, if the driver exceeds their authority (distance/speed). The driver/attendant can also react to unexpected events (degraded\, abnormal and emergency situations). \nThe notable exceptions are the increasing number of automated metros (GoA4) that successfully provide high performance services within segregated environments with minimal variance (pre-programmed). The next evolution is to provide similar levels of automation and performance on open networks (mainline and light rail) where the environment cannot be easily controlled. Ultimately\, as we move away from human driven vehicles and network management\, outside the relative simplicity of the metro environment\, autonomous systems will be required to handle all the unexpected events on the rail network\, similarly to autonomous cars\, necessitating the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Autonomous rail has less variables\, but potentially more catastrophic consequences. The train control systems that are developed will need to consider the sensors available on-board and the information available from the connected network and how this information is processed and acted upon. \nWhen managed correctly AI has the potential to significantly improve safety. However\, to achieve societal acceptance research from the autonomous car industry suggest that this may need to be about two orders of magnitude better that the average driver. A suitable approach is required with society with respect to the use of AI. A period of increasing AI support for drivers (semi-autonomous)\, with a transition over to AI driving (autonomous)\, will be required. The expected approach is longitudinal testing\, required for developing an inductive long-term dynamic safety case (‘proven in use’). Through aggressive training environments that use training sets and test conditions that place the system in ‘extreme’ operating environments and in-service experience with a driver present to ensure AI algorithms are able to operate safety with the eventual operational demands. \nAbout the speakers: \nDavid Milburn\, Senior Technical Director\, Global Leader – Digital Train Control\, GHD\, Australia \nDavid Milburn is a Chartered Engineer with over twenty-years international railway experience.  David started his railway career when he joined the British Rail S&T graduate scheme. He quickly developed a keen interest in innovation and new technologies and in 1998 he was seconded to the ERTMS Users Group in Brussels\, and has been involved in digital train control ever since.  David has held a number of senior roles\, including leading the Signalling discipline for Network Rail’s flagship Crossrail Programme\, and as the Technical Head\, Signalling & Control Systems for Network Rail Consulting. Since moving to Australia\, David has had the privilege of being involved in some fantastic projects\, including: Sydney Metro Northwest\, and a ground breaking ETCS Level 2 mine railway in WA. David is currently leading and developing the digital train control services for GHD. \nMike Erskine\, Executive Advisor\, GHD Advisory\, Australia \nMichael Erskine has over 34 years’ experience in Process\, Mining\, Transport\, Water\, Food\, Oil & Gas\, Infrastructure and Chemical industries.

SUMMARY:RTSA NSW Event - Technical Presentation - Alstom's ETCS Solution for Low Density Networks
DESCRIPTION:Increasing population leading to road congestion is a driver for rail transportation investment in Australia.  Regional passenger rail is one area that requires improvement in all states across Australia to better connect regional centres Alstom\, as a global signalling provider offers a portfolio of scalable ETCS solutions\, to suit specific network and business requirements.  Alstom’s ETCS (ATLAS) solution provides a safe\, reliable and interoperable signalling solution for both low and high-density networks while optimizing the total cost of ownership whether on passenger\, freight or mixed traffic lines. \nOn regional rail networks\, ATLAS 400 solution provides in-cab signalling\, positive train localization and train protection through radio communication with centralised equipment. ATLAS 400 solution design minimises wayside equipment along the track as it does not require colour light signals and train detection devices. ATLAS 400 is specifically designed for low density lines and was built on the proven ATLAS 200 (ETCS Level2) solution supported by a strong in-service experience. The solution is fully interoperable\, future-proof and can easily be upgraded to meet new business requirements such as additional traffic capacity. \nThis presentation will outline ATLAS solution portfolio and will detail the ATLAS 400 solution from a technical and operational perspective. Solution benefits will be discussed and Alstom’s return of experience from actual applications highlighting the need for a regional ETCS solution and the benefits it will have on rail transportation. \nSpeaker Background: \nDr. Olivier Leveque holds a PhD in Control of Autonomous Vehicles from the French National Institute of Scientific Research (CNRS). He has over 20 years of experience in rail signalling systems engineering.  Olivier previously managed the Alstom ANZ Signalling Engineering \nRegistration Closes: Fri 30 Aug 2019 – 6:00 pm

SUMMARY:RTSA NSW Event - Site visit to Sydney Metro's Operations and Maintenance Facility
DESCRIPTION:Site visit to Sydney Metro’s Operations and Maintenance Facility \nSydney Metro North West opened earlier in May\, operating as the first fully automated rapid transit system in Australia. The operational context is very different to the conventional heavy rail and light rail networks in NSW.  It is very important for rail professionals to understand the differences in running a metro and heavy rail network. \nThe visit will include a tour of the Operations Control Centre (OCC) where train controllers constantly monitor the entire metro system\, controlling rolling stock\, tunnels and platforms to deliver a safe and reliable journey. The visit will also include a tour of the train stabling and maintenance facility\, which incorporates latest technology for: \n• Train washing\n• Inspection and repairs\n• Major train maintenance\n• Wheel maintenance \nAbout Metro Trains Sydney: \nMetro Trains Sydney (MTS) is the operator of the Metro North West Line\, which runs along the Sydney Metro Northwest. It is a joint venture between MTR Corporation (60%)\, John Holland (20%) and UGL Rail (20%) formed in September 2014.   It operates the network with a fleet of 22 Alstom Metropolis trains under a 15-year contract. \nRegistration Closes: Mon 19 Aug 2019 – 6:00 pm

SUMMARY:RTSA - NZ Chapter Event and Webinar - Cleaning the Otira Tunnel
DESCRIPTION:Cleaning the Otira Tunnel \nThe RTSA NZ invite you to an encore of the above presentation in Wellington on Wednesday 31 July\, which will also be available to view as a live webinar. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNeil Mason\, Managing Director of Vitruvius Ltd\, has kindly agreed to make an encore performance of his fascinating presentation on cleaning the Otira Rail Tunnel\, originally given to the RTSA in April\, so that a wider New Zealand and international audience can participate. \nSituated on the Midland Line between Otira and Arthurs Pass in the South Island\, KiwiRail’s Otira rail Tunnel measures an impressive 8.566 km in length and runs through a harsh but fragile alpine environment. At the time of its opening in 1923 it was the longest tunnel in the southern hemisphere. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor the past 30 years the tunnel has conveyed trains carrying uncovered coal wagons up the steep 1 in 33 gradient from Otira\, combined with the ventilation system has deposited sand and coal dust on the floor and walls creating a “mountain range” balanced along the top of power and communication cables. A creative method had to be developed\, using innovative technology\, to remove the deposits by water jets and then remove the particulates from the water to comply with stringent environmental consent conditions\, before discharge into the nearby river. \nNeil has led many interesting and challenging rail projects through his 27 years in the rail industry in NZ and the UK. As Project Manager for KiwiRail for the Otira Tunnel project\, he successfully led the complex design\, challenging consenting phase and testing physical works delivery.  Neil was recently quoted saying “cleaning the Otira Tunnel has been without doubt the toughest project I have ever done.  It could only have been made harder if we were asked to deliver the scope wearing blindfolds” \nWednesday\, 31 July\, 5.30pm (NZ time)\nEngineering New Zealand\, L6\, 40 Taranaki Street\, Wellington\nRegister here \nThere will be an opportunity for networking with drinks and nibbles provided from 5pm. \nThe presentation will also be broadcast as a live webinar for those unable to attend in Wellington\, to take part in the online webinar\, please register here.

SUMMARY:RTSA - NZ Chapter - July 2019 Presentation - Operating the World's Longest and Heaviest Train
DESCRIPTION:Operating the World’s longest & heaviest train  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn behalf of RTSA NZ we’d like to invite you to the above presentation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Australia’s Pilbara region trains convey processed iron ore from the mines to the ports. These trains are among some of the largest in the world. In a normal day\, these trains will move between 1 and 3 million tonnes of Iron Ore over a nominal haul distance of between 300 – 400 kms.  Due to the regional conditions and market variability of the commodity business\, these railroads have had to constantly optimise and stretch their operating technology to maximise their return on investment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis presentation provides an overview of the operational considerations that were assessed prior to the operation of the world-record train. This train challenged the operating paradigms at BHPIO and presented a number of unique and complex problems to solve. It also provided valuable data for the business as it endeavoured to grow its operating footprint in a low capital investment environment.  This presentation will review the operation and its operating infrastructure and technology platforms whilst specifically reviewing the operation of the world-record train. \nTrent Ludlow is KiwiRail’s Regional Lead – Upper South Island. Trent has held senior leadership positions at BHP (Coal and Iron Ore businesses)\, Rio Tinto Iron Ore\, Fortescue Metals Group and at Downer Rail.  These roles have been primarily operationally focused\, however Trent was a key leader in the establishment of the first non-railway based above-rail operator in Queensland. \n\n\n\nThe presentation will take place in Christchurch and will be live streamed to Wellington and Auckland. \n\nRegister here \nDetails for each location are noted below: \nChristchurch\nKiwiRail\, L1 conference room\, 15 Midas Place\, Middletom\, Christchurch \nWellington \nKiwiRail\, L4 Boardroom\, Wellington Railway Station\, Bunny Street\, Wellington \nAuckland \nKiwiRail\, L3 Boardroom\, 8-14 Stanley Street\, Auckland
