In today’s highly competitive rail market automation and centralisation are drivers for innovation. Also national borders are no longer rail operation borders. Operators and infrastructure managers are seeking new ways to improve efficiency, operational safety and to control risk.
Wayside train monitoring systems can measure the operational performance of rolling stock and infrastructure assets as well as the direct surroundings. In doing so, wayside train monitoring systems provide management information to improve performance and optimise (preventive) maintenance strategy, resulting in an increase in asset availability, cost optimisation and overall improvement of safety.
Wayside train monitoring originates from national rail regulation, but since the opening of the European rail market this has also become a European regulative issue. Particularly in cross-border freight operations, but following further liberalisation soon also in all passenger operations, an international exchange of data from wayside train monitoring systems would be of great advantage to further improvement of operations and maintenance strategies. At this moment, national borders are also thresholds for data exchange.
On the basis of all these developments lies technical and scientific research and progress. The present conference offers a one-day podium in order to discuss these developments and their directions, in a both national and international setting. The conference is being organised by Europoint in cooperation with the Technical University of Vienna.
