Designed Elastic Components to Improve Life Cycle Costs of Track Superstructures Read more about Designed Elastic Components to Improve Life Cycle Costs of Track Superstructures In this presentation, Mr. Dorfner shares Getzner's solutions to vibrations and structure-borne noise generated by railways, which have a detrimental effect on track superstructure components such as rails, sleepers, and ballasts. He also underscores the importance of introducing more elasticity into the railway superstructure to reduce maintenance outlay and life cycle costs.
High Performance Machines: Pay Off! Read more about High Performance Machines: Pay Off! In this presentation, Mr. Polterauer shares some points on choosing the right machines for rail track installation and maintenance, including technical considerations, and how to calculate annual output and costs.
Wayside Condition Monitoring Systems Read more about Wayside Condition Monitoring Systems In this presentation, Mr. Aschberger gives an overview of wayside condition monitoring systems, which measure the operational performance of railway infrastructure assets, giving the necessary data that allows rail operators to optimize maintenance, safety, reliability, and cost.
Scalable Signaling Solutions for Metros and Commuter Lines Read more about Scalable Signaling Solutions for Metros and Commuter Lines In this presentation, Mr. Ramos cited the importance of deploying a flexible and scalable communications-based train control (CBTC) signaling system to address the current needs of railway operations. He also shared a case study from their work in increasing the capacity and operational efficiency of Madrid's commuter network.

Asia-Pacific Railway Innovations Forum 2019 Read more about Asia-Pacific Railway Innovations Forum 2019 The level of railway technology varies greatly throughout developing Asia and the Pacific but is often ancient in terms of railway infrastructures, systems, and rolling stock. New technologies in the digital sphere, from control systems to data gathering, create an immense opportunity, but at the same time, the agony of choice as countries must sort and prioritize which technologies are the most appropriate in their specific, national case.
