An Overview of Railway Engineering

About This Course

Unlike many other technical developments, rail transportation has a significant influence on long-term economic results. The capacity to efficiently and effectively transport people, commodities and services are critical to economic, industrial, and social activities.

This program is designed for those who work in the railway industry.

An Overview of Railway Engineering’ training course was created by our expert instructors to provide you with the skills and information needed to deal with the many facets of railway systems in order to create a more dependable, safe, and comfortable railway network that transports people and commodities quickly and efficiently.

In addition, to enhance your strategy and decision-making in the design, operation, and performance of both infrastructure and rolling stock. This thorough curriculum will provide you with the necessary tools as well as useful insights into how to implement this new systems approach to railway engineering and operations.

Throughout the program, you will learn and examine real-life scenarios while also receiving personal guidance and feedback.

Learning Objectives

Identify possibilities to enhance the performance and reliability of a railway network based on your examination of interfaces and interactions between track, train, traction, and civil structures.
Create and improve a reliable and robust railway service that can better adapt to unforeseen scenarios and situations.
Recognize infra-capacity, availability of train stock, staff deployment, communication systems, and new technology to develop plans to maximize the usage of the railway network.
Create a stable railway system that provides comfort, reliability, and safety while making the most of existing (or potentially new) infrastructure.
Design an Essential monitoring and maintenance solution using systems thinking approach.
