Overview The Victoria Park-Canning Level Crossing Removal project is Perth’s first major elevated rail designed to remove at grade 6 level crossings. The presentation will focus on the viaduct design challenges and solutions implemented including the comparison of a superstructure U-trough and box-girder. Learning outcomes Knowledge and sharing on first kind of viaduct design in […]
Overview In today’s industrial environment, the threat of cyber attacks is becoming increasingly significant and consequences can be catastrophic. A cyberattack on Operational Technology (OT) systems like Signalling can compromise the integrity or availability of these systems and result in financial harm, equipment damage, disruption of service and even loss of life. It is therefore […]
Join RTSA for this webinar on creating a foundation, KiwiRail’s Digital Engineering Programme. Derek Jannings will provide an overview of the Digital Engineering Programme and the legacy of change it is striving to achieve through KiwiRail’s current watershed period of capital investment. He will draw on real world examples to dive deeper into why KiwiRail […]
Overview This presentation will provide high level overview of the current heavy and light rail projects underway on the Gold Coast, including the next stages of the Gold Coast Light Rail, the three new heavy rail stations located on the Gold Coast, the Logan to Gold Coast Faster Rail. The update will also include the […]
Overview Wheel 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 […]
