Intelligent Rail Summit 2022
Cutting costs without cutting corners: Asset management, monitoring and the use of data in times of turmoil
The railway sector is disproportionately affected by the current cost crisis. Already under strain by the elevated costs of raw materials and materials following the COVID-19 pandemic, a steep increase in energy costs now risks derailing the sector’s prospects. This is where innovation comes in, such as new ways for utilising data.
Data is gaining importance for asset management, performance monitoring, predictive maintenance and optimising operations. Efficiency gains and new insights from data from operations all have the potential to result in cost savings and help support decision-making.
These and other topics regarding Wayside Train Monitoring Systems (WTMS), infrastructure monitoring and asset management were discussed during the Intelligent Rail Summit 2022, which took place on 16-17 November 2022 in Konstanz, Germany.
Topics & themes
The following topics were the focus of the discussion at Intelligent Rail Summit 2022:
- Why data is important for railway infrastructure management?
- How to analyse data in order to turn it into crucial information?
- How to establish a proper railway asset life cycle management?
- Availability in the context of infrastructure conditions and maintenance/renewal demands
- Evaluation of environmental aspects of the railway system and the influence of climate change
