Evening Network, I wanted to share the Rail Forum brochure published today, which includes a number of case studies of how the supply chain continues to innovate and drive forward with quality solutions, critical to the operation of UK Rail. Reiterating Elaine Clark's opening statement and support and citing Robert Ampomah, B. Eng (Hons), 'I believe in the importance of building and fostering a strong collaborative partnership with our supply chain.' The brochure provides and demonstrates the collective leadership, experience and competence in a 21st century railway. Great work Rail Forum and the other contributors. Innovating for a Safer, More Efficient Railway: A Collaborative Milestone: Not trying to be too biased, I will highlight from the latest Rail Forum publication, featuring Belvoir Rail Ltd collaboration with Northern Trains, Modux, and Network Rail. Together, we're tackling the rail industry's most pressing challenges, these being safety and efficiency. The project highlights our innovation, integrating advanced technologies like radar, lidar, and intelligent cameras on passenger trains, enabling an unprecedented level of infrastructure monitoring. This collective effort not only elevates maintenance to real-time and predictive levels but also significantly enhances network reliability and safety. This initiative is more than a project; it's a pivotal shift towards a new era of railway infrastructure maintenance. By harnessing 2TB of daily data and sophisticated analytics, we're proactively identifying and addressing potential faults before they impact operations. Belvoir Rail and our partners are proud of this project, setting new standards for the industry and ensuring a safer, more efficient future for the UK railway network. #railwayinnovation #BelvoirRail

RTSA - The Railway Technical Society of Australasia QLD Chapter is hosting a presentation titled "How can virtual coupling change the future of railways" on the 25th of this month with speaker Egidio Quaglietta from Delft University of Technology. Event details: 📅 Date: 25 July 2024 🕕 Time: 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm 🌐 Venue: Online 🪙 Cost: $0 (members) $30 (non-members) 💻 Signup: https://lnkd.in/g-rsMhv6 The QLD chapter has planned a busy year full of technical events. Consider joining us to stay up-to date. Event Overview: Recent developments in rail signalling technology have led to the advanced concept of Virtual Coupling. Trains are envisaged to exchange real-time information with each other via a Vehicle-to-Vehicle radio communication layer to allow a much shorter separation and the formation of radio-linked train platoons. Such a concept would unleash the full capacity potential of existing rail networks and meet the ever-growing need of a customer-oriented rail service potentially leading the railways to a tremendous boost in both service efficiency and market competitiveness. Many are however the safety, technical and technological challenges which need to be addressed before Virtual Coupling could actually come to life. How can those challenges be tackled? And how could Virtual Coupling change the future of railways in terms of market potentials and service performances? Join us to find out more. #RTSA #Queensland #Rail #Signalling
