System Rail

Understanding the complex railway system is essential for people working in the rail industry. Our trainings in this area cover the key characteristics of rail systems and provide an overview of the dependencies between the various elements that make up a safe and efficient railroad. Topics range from key elements and subsystems such as operations, production planning, infrastructure, rolling stock and environment, to interoperability and intermodality.

Learn about the characteristics and benefits of rail transportation systems and the stakeholders within a railway and their contribution to its success. Improve your awareness for the importance of economic efficiency and safety of the system rail.
