Date: | 30-Oct-14 to 31-Oct-14 |
Location: | Informa Australia / Australia |
Category: | Technology Engineering Conferences & Trade Fairs |
Grow your knowledge & appreciation of the performance of rail track systems, how they are engineered for functionality, capacity, safety & reliability by examining rail engineering principles, data, techniques & best practices. Key Learning Outcomes
Analyse the principles, data and techniques applied to rail track design
Discover how todays track systems are engineered and designed for functionality, capacity, safety, reliability, and competitiveness
Gain a working knowledge of the performance of railway track systems in response to loadings
Understand the critical relationships between track and rolling stock
Gain insight into the implications of terminal design on efficient railway operations
Learn to optimise the long-term benefit and economy from resources expended

About the Course
This course will examine the design and layout of rail track, including horizontal and vertical alignment, cross section, turnouts and crossings, component selection, earthwork, drainage, and clearances.
The design approaches highlight applicable Australian standards and general industry practices.
The participant will learn how traffic characteristics and operational requirements affect design. The coverage distinguishes between high-speed, conventional, rapid transit, and light-rail systems.
The course includes exercises to provide experience with typical design procedures. On completion, the participant may take credit for 16 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours with their industry association (for example the Institute of Engineers Australia)
An engineering or engineering technology background is preferred.
