| Light Rail & Subway The 2009 Rail Transit Seminar is devoted to examining wheel/rail and vehicle/track interaction on light rail and subway operations. This cross-disciplinary seminar will include presentations from experts in vehicle/track dynamics, noise and vibration, wheel/rail profile design and maintenance, and friction management. Join a unique group of transit professionals, researchers and suppliers at this seminar to examine recent developments in research and technology, participate in lively discussion and gain a better understanding of the complex interaction unique to the rail transit wheel/rail interface.
|
Not just another class... Designed for both Rail Transit and Heavy Haul seminar attendees, "Principles of Wheel/Rail Interaction" is an intensive, full-day course providing in-depth examination of the primary aspects of wheel/rail and vehicle/track interaction. Drawing from both theory and practical application, the course will cover wheel truing strategy, rail metallurgy, ultrasonic testing, thermal rail stresses and more . The course is designed to promote a more complete understanding of vehicle/track dynamics and wheel/rail interaction. Seminar attendance is not required to attend the course.
|
Heavy Haul & Shared Track The Heavy Haul Seminar is devoted to examining wheel/rail and vehicle/track interaction on heavy haul freight and shared-track passenger systems. We bring together track and mechanical users, researchers and suppliers in a positive, educational setting like no other in the industry.  The latest information on new and existing technology, and the ways in which it is being used to improve wheel/rail interaction on freight and passenger railways will be presented by some of the best minds in railroading.
