Luleå University of Technology professors Diego Galar and Uday Kumar explore the concept of the metaverse for railway asset management activities, including how the interaction between digital twins of rolling stock and infrastructure in the metaverse can improve the efficiency, safety and reliability of railway transportation.
With the advent of digitalisation, rail asset management is being transformed; intelligent and innovative solutions that collect and analyse rail data have the potential to help optimise asset performance, improve business activity and deliver passenger benefits. In this In-Depth Focus, contributors explore how the use of innovations such as digital…
Packed full of exclusive content, including: a statement from Belgium's Deputy Prime Minister; the plans to transform American rail travel; managing operational complexities; and much more!
Diego Galar and Uday Kumar, Professors at Luleå University of Technology, explore how more sophisticated inspection, condition monitoring, analysis and maintenance technologies can facilitate cost effective and efficient rail asset management.
Smart sensors on tracks can be used to remotely check the health of infrastructure and a variety of digital solutions can help maintenance teams carry out vital tasks more efficiently leading to reduced service downtime and extended rail infrastructure lifetime. This In-Depth Focus explores how effective predictive and preventive maintenance…
In this issue, we feature articles from industry experts on a vast range of topics including: What HS2 will mean for rail freight capacity in Britain; the latest developments on the Ceneri Base Tunnel project; and how GTR’s workforce is its greatest asset, plus our 'Smart Track Maintenance' and 'Cyber-Security'…
At Global Railway Review’s Digital Rail Revolution 2019 conference, Diego Galar, Professor of Condition Monitoring at Lulea University of Technology, spoke to our Editor, Craig Waters, about the importance for the industry to understand the role of data analytics, rail’s vulnerability concerning cyber-threats, and what he thinks is still a…
Railways are important transportation systems within society, and the pressure on their services has been increasing due to a rise in adoption, population and traffic flow. Dr. Madhav Mishra, Senior Researcher at Luleå University of Technology, Sweden, discusses a maintenance technique that could help managers in meeting this demand.
As part of Global Railway Review’s Going Digital in Rail Week, Dr. Diego Galar, Professor of Condition Monitoring in the Division of Operation and Maintenance Engineering at Luleå University of Technology, explores how the adoption of IoT in railways and its use with OT platforms can enable the use of…
Railways simply cannot afford to be unprepared or surprised by equipment and asset downtime. With intelligent predictive maintenance solutions in place, and advanced ways of analysing data, assets can perform more reliably helping to improve the capacity of networks and deliver a better passenger experience.
Diego Galar, Professor of Condition Monitoring in the Division of Operation and Maintenance Engineering at Luleå University of Technology, explores some key points concerning the use of IoT and big data in the rail sector.
Railway systems have complex technologies, with a wide range of human actors, organisations and technical solutions. To control such complexity, a viable solution is to apply intelligent computerised systems. Here Professors Diego Galar, Uday Kumar and Ramin Karim from Luleå University of Technology, Sweden, explain the possibilities of big data…
