About the session

The ORBIS programme: optimising assets

Challenges faced and benefits in digitising existing assets

Using asset intelligence to increase performance

The future goals of the programme

 

With increasing numbers of passengers and a demand for faster, cleaner, safer and more reliable rail, the improvement and modernisation of the UK’s rail infrastructure is a critical part in delivering a better service for the future.

The monitoring and management of railway infrastructure includes; tracks, signalling systems, bridges, tunnels, level crossing and stations. This event will give you the chance to hear about upcoming infrastructure projects from both industry and academic to industry.

In the deployment of an intelligent rail infrastructure, challenges occur and listed below are a few points highlighted in by our members and railway contacts:

Configuration and management of data

Enhanced point monitoring

Digital rail

Potential vulnerabilities of modern interconnected systems

Practical Implementation

Earth leakage

Condition monitoring

Increasing track capacity

 

There is an ever increasing amount of data available to both consumers and service providers and this one-day seminar will examine what data is a out there and how it will help with increasing the future capacity on the UK rail.
