Everyone will be affected by it. This presentation will be a high-level overview of how AI works and what it can and cannot do. It is well known that almost all computing\, from 3D graphics to computer tomography\, is based on linear algebra and calculus. It is not surprising that AI and other “frightening” developments have used the same concepts. I will explain\, in a way that is understandable to a numerate audience\, how AI works without getting too technical. \nThe goal is to make it less intimidating with a bit of knowledge. I will discuss why I am not worried about losing my job\, why being an early childhood educator may be the job of the future\, and why I look forward to the day my doctor uses AI to diagnose me. \nLearning outcomes\n\nThe meaning of Artificial Intelligence (AI)\nReview of learning algorithms you may have heard about\nThe future of AI\n\nAbout the presenter\n \n  \nProf Mike Meylan\nProfessor\, The University of Newcastle \n  \nClick here to register on the Engineers Australia website.

SUMMARY:NSW Chapter Event: Rolling stock signalling interface\, compliance and compatibility testing
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE – NEW DATE: THURSDAY 2ND NOVEMBER \nOverview \nElectrified railways use running rails for three purposes: guiding the train\, providing a return path for traction currents\, and detecting trains. These purposes have coexisted since the early 1900s. However\, the introduction of electronic traction control in the 1970s and 3-phase inverter drives in the 1990s generated high levels of complex switching harmonics that threatened the safe operation of train detection. To address this issue\, railways developed standards to specify the limits of harmonics permissible in the traction return. Although rolling stock manufacturers have found ways to minimise the threat posed by electronic switching\, it is still necessary to test every new design of rolling stock entering the rail network to ensure that it is effectively detected by the signaling system and does not produce electrical noise that can interfere with the proper operation of the signaling system. Modern trains and rolling stock can cause electrical interference that disrupts signalling train detection systems and makes it difficult to detect short and light vehicles. This paper outlines the testing and assessment methods used by a major Australian rail organisation to ensure that all new rolling stock meets the requirements of signalling systems. \nLearning outcomes: \nIn this presentation you will learn: \n\nRolling stock signalling interfaces and how these systems are used effectively.\nReview of the standards and compliance required.\nCompatibility testing and the importance to effectively test all new designs\n\nEvent program\n5:30pm: Registrations open and networking\n6:00pm: Presentation commence with Q&A session\n7:00pm: Presentation concludes and further networking\n7:30pm: Event concludes \nAbout the speaker \nPaul Szacsvay\, Associate Principal Consultant\, SNC-Lavalin Australasia \nPaul is a signalling engineer and engineering manager with more than 50 years’ experience working with major government organisations. He is a specialist in signalling technology\, with expertise in development of national standards for signalling systems\, assessment of rolling stock signalling compatibility\, evaluation\, testing and type approval of new equipment and systems\, incident investigation and signalling competency management.

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:NZ Chapter Event: Smart Tamp: The Future of Track Maintenance (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:The Railway Technical Society are pleased to invite you to a webinar discussing ‘Smart Tamp: The Future of Track Maintenance’.\nDesign tamping helps reduce wear and tear on track and rolling stock\, lowers traction costs\, and reduces track maintenance costs by up to 30%. Network Rail can benefit from this in two ways: long-term cost savings and short-term “quick win” savings. \nSmart Tamp is focused on utilizing geodetical track data to maintain railway tracks through tamping. \nInnoTamp was a ground-breaking research project that developed a process that will improve the affordability of design tamping so that it can be rolled out to more of the national rail network – on regular as well as high-speed lines. What tasks were implemented to achieve the goal?: The tasks implemented to achieve the goal were computing relative track parameters from RILA data\, identifying track areas in need of tamping\, creating designs and tamping files in design software\, checking infrastructure clearances against design\, checking ballast quantities against design\, and trialling the results on a live railway. \nNetwork Rail in the United Kingdom has implemented Fugro’s RILA system\, an innovative survey system\, to generate geodetical data on some parts of the network. This data is then used for a variety of projects\, such as providing gauging information for the introduction of new rolling stock and for track renewals. So far\, the RILA system has surveyed over 250 000 km in the UK and has a coverage of over 70% of the rail network. \nWe hope to see you there! \nClick here to register for this event on the Engineering New Zealand website.

SUMMARY:Qld Chapter Event: Using supercomputing to assess the influence of wheel diameter differences on rail damage
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nWheel 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 and rolling contact fatigue (RCF)\, under the presence of WDD\, have not been published. \nFurthermore\, several standards establish WDD limits for wheelsets\, bogies and vehicles which\, in turn\, determine the planning of wheelset maintenance activities. There is no information in the public domain on how such limits were set and their impact on the dynamic processes at the wheel-rail interface. Thus\, a numerical program comprising thousands of multibody dynamics simulations should be conducted to study the influence of WDD on vehicle performance\, considering several combinations of operational parameters\, in-train forces and the responses of a locomotive traction mechatronics system. The practical methodology including the example of results from such a numerical program and the analysis of the impact of WDD on rail damage and vehicle performance will be presented. The pathway for the development of digital twins for such tasks will be also presented and discussed. \nLearning outcomes\n\nDevelopment and use of digital twins for railway applications.\nWheel diameter difference standards and its influence on rail wear and rolling contact fatigue.\nModern techniques for using physics-based digital twins and supercomputers for railway applications.\n\nEvent program\nOnline: \n\n12.00pm: Webinar commences\n12.55pm: Webinar concludes\n\nIn-person: \n\n11.45am: Registration and light refreshments\n12.00pm: Welcome\n12.05pm: Speaker presentation\n12.45pm: Q&A\n1.00pm: Networking\n1.30pm: Event concludes\nTicket inclusions: Light refreshments\, soft drinks\n\nAbout the speaker\nEsteban Bernal\, Senior Research Officer\, Centre for Railway Engineering\, CQUniversity \nEsteban Bernal is a Senior Research Officer at the Centre for railway Engineering\, Central Queensland University\, Australia. During his doctoral dissertation he studied innovative on‐board condition monitoring technologies for railway vehicles. Additionally\, he has participated in research and consultancy projects involving vehicle dynamics simulations\, traction and wheel–rail wear and damage studies. \n \nTo register\, click on the link below.
