SUMMARY:NZ Chapter Event - Fast(er) Rail – Past\, Present and Future Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join the Railway Technical Society Australasia and WSP experts to hear about and join a discussion on Fast(er) Rail.  Learn about the past\, present and future developments of faster rail in our region and consider how it could help shape a sustainable and more connected future for New Zealand’s inter-regional travel. \nWhen:  Wednesday 21st April\, 12:30pm -1:30pm New Zealand time  (10:30am-11:30am AEST)\nWhere: Online via Adobe Connect\nCost:  FREE \nFaster Rail\, Rapid Rail or High-Speed Rail: it’s all about connectivity and travel choices centred on delivering faster\, more efficient and reliable journey times that link our major cities and growing regional centres.  Faster\, reliable and sustainable transport is an important part of unlocking many of New Zealand’s development challenges\, such as housing and climate change. \n‘Past’ Fast rail 101: With help from Mark Xerri\, we will learn about some of the past investigations and ongoing projects of faster rail in Australia. \n‘Present’  The Ministry of Transport is currently looking into the fast rail (aka. Rapid Rail) options between Auckland and Hamilton. Alex Marr and Theunis Van Schalkwyk will provide an insight into this recent work. \n‘Future’ How would connecting NZ’s major cities with faster rail change the housing landscape\, our travel behaviours\, and regional productivity – and how fast would it need to be?  Angus and Theunis will discuss the potential of a Faster Rail plan for New Zealand\, discussing the challenges and opportunities that exist – and hopefully inspiring a lively debate about the sort of rail future New Zealand wants. \nMichael Than will be facilitating the topic with his panel of experts and specialists: \n\nMark Xerri– Associate planner\nAlexander Marr– Project Manager Rapid Rail Hamilton to Auckland\nTheunis Van Schalkwyk– Technical Director Transport\nAngus Gabara– Principal Rail and Transit Advisory\n\nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:RTSA Webinar Series on Management of Railway Operations - Part 4
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will look at the management of the Australian Railway Industry and the elements involved in the management of railways. \nThis includes: \n\nSafety legislation and implementation\nEconomic regulation of Australian railways\nAsset management for railways\nEmergency response and accident prevention\nElements of engineering in railways.\n\nThe speaker will provide working examples and case studies so that listeners can relate to their own railway circumstances and also provide references that the listener can follow up in their own reading time. \nThis webinar is part four of a four part series. \nSpeaker: Martin Baggot \nMartin Baggot is one of Australia’s most experienced rail engineers and his 42 years’ experience spans safety investigation & regulation\, track infrastructure\, railway operations\, commercial feasibility and infrastructure due diligence. From 2008 to 2010\, Martin was the National Executive Chair of the RTSA.  He has successfully managed train operations\, introduced new train services\, electrification and enhanced network configurations. Martin is currently consulting in technical assistance to emerging nations on behalf of the World Bank and as part of World Bank and Asian Development Bank initiatives. These civil engineering and management duties contain a multi-disciplinary history looking at all aspects of rail networks. \nLink to register not available yet.

SUMMARY:Insight into Rollingstock Engineering Course 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Railway Technical Society of Australasia (RTSA) will conduct the Insight into Rollingstock Engineering course in Sydney in April 2021. \nDay 1: Thursday 29th April 2021\, 12:00-5:00pm AEST\, Sydney NSW \nDay 2: Friday 30th April 2021\, 08:30-5:00pm AEST\, Sydney NSW \nThis 1.5-day introductory course will provide an insight into the principles used in the design\, manufacture and maintenance of railway rollingstock including locomotives\, passenger cars\, multiple unit trains and freight wagons. Presenters are Engineering Consultants and members of the RTSA. This is a great opportunity to learn direct from experienced engineers who have each worked in the rail industry for over 40 years. \nThis course is designed for those new to the industry and those required to liaise with rail engineers involved with rollingstock acquisition\, operation and whole of life support projects as well as the interface between each of the operating systems. \nThis course was previously offered jointly with the Australasian Railway Association (ARA); employees of ARA members and RTSA members are eligible for the member rate. \nClick image below for course flyer: \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nClick here to register \nCourse Fee\n\nARA/RTSA members – $1\,240\nNon-members – $1\,620\n\nCourse Speakers\nJohn Watsford BSc (Elec Eng)\, FIE Aust\, Life Member RTSA\, Engineering Consultant\nIan Rossow BTech Elect\, MIE Aust\, Engineering Consultant\nColin Butcher OAM\, BSC (Mech Eng)\,  FIE Aust\, Engineering Consultant \nCourse Program\nType of Rollingstock\nWhy use rail; Gauge; Locomotives; Passenger; Freight \nRollingstock Dynamics – Adhesion\nWheel/Rail Interface; Tractive Effort; Design \nBogies\nSprings; Powered Bogies; Trailer Bogies; Other –Rack\, Tilting; Wheelsets \nDiesel Elec Loco Design – Engines – AC/DC –Auxiliaries\nSelection of loco type; Traction and Control Systems; Auxiliaries; Cabs \nFreight Wagons\nTypes; Dimensions and capacities; Materials; Couplers \nPassenger Rollingstock – Types\nService speed; Loco hauled; Push-pull; EMU; DMU; Single-Double deck \nPassenger Rollingstock – Design\nBody construction; Definitions; Passenger areas; Bogie type; Fire safety; Tunnel operation \nPassenger Rollingstock – Devices\nTypes of motor drive; Diesel; Control systems \nBraking Systems\nConcepts; Types; Air System; Control Equipment; Performance \nRailway Safety\nRail Safety Act; RISSB Codes of Practice; OH&S; Effects of Operation; Safe working \nManagement of Risk\nRisk Management; Mitigation; Registration of rollingstock \nMaintenance\nWhole of Life Asset Management; Maintenance planning; Maintenance strategies \nSupport Services\nFacilities; Staffing; Inventory control \nInterfaces\nWheel/Race Interface; Signalling; Supply; Environmental; Communications; Train Crew Interface
