RAMS for railways

According to EN 50126, the goal of a railway system is to achieve a defined level of rail traffic in a given time, safely. Railway RAMS describes the confidence with which the system can guarantee the achievement of this goal. Railway RAMS has a clear influence on the quality with which the service is delivered

Introduction to rolling stock & operational maintenance

Rolling stock is one part of a railway ecosystem with the goal to move passengers from a point A to B. In order to reach this goal the train have to communicate with all the other part of railways. it’s a complex system composed of several complex system such as brakes, traction ,passengers doors ie.. This training purpose is to

Introduction in communication based train control (CBTC)

Communication based Train Control (CBTC) is the most used signaling system for urban applications, capable to control driverless trains at high frequencies as 60 seconds, as well as assist drivers for safety and operation functions as starting, accelerating, braking, stopping, opening and closing doors. This training is aimed at providing an overview of CBTC structure
