Track Maintenance
+++ The webinar will be held in English. +++ Das Webinar der UEEIV findet in englischer Sprache statt. +++
First Presentation: Utilising automation in track maintenance
Demand in the rail sector is increasing worldwide. In Belgium, passenger transport is forecast to grow by 9% and freight transport by 62% between 2012 and 2030. ÖBB plans to double the capacity of its main lines by 2040. Greater infrastructure availability is essential, while long diversions and rail replacement services must be minimized.
Speaker: Dr. Fabian Hansmann, Plasser & Theurer
Second Presentation: Automated/robot-supported rail and switch maintenance
In order to cope with the required growth in rail traffic in the coming years, it is essential to further increase the availability of the railway infrastructure. With shorter maintenance windows and a shrinking workforce of skilled rail welders, infrastructure managers are under pressure to maintain reliability and reduce life cycle management costs.
Speaker: Dr. Michael Reiter, Robel Rail Automation
