SUMMARY:William Hay Railroad Engineering Seminar: Adapting to Future Climate for Railway Systems
DESCRIPTION:The William W. Hay Railroad Engineering Seminar Series at the University of Illinois is made possible by the continued support of its RailTEC Industry Partners: Association of American Railroads\, BNSF Railway\, CN\, Hanson Professional Services & National University Rail Center of Excellence. \nWilliam W. Hay Seminars are free to the public to attend. Professional Development Hours are available to seminar participants for $25 per seminar.  Please note that registration is required for all participants. \nSpeaker:\nChen-Yu Lin\nAssistant Professor – National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) \nTitle:\nAdapting to Future Climate for Railway Systems \nDate & Time:\nFriday\, 30 August 2024 at 12:15 PM Central Time \nLocation:\nYeh Student Center – 2311 Newmark Lab\n-or- Zoom Webinar \nAttendees Participating at Newmark:\n11:45 AM Lunch Available\n12:15 PM Seminar Begins \nAbstract:\nRailway systems have significant and complex networks of assets which need to be managed. As part of asset management\, it is important to consider the increasing risks from climate change. Climatic risks to infrastructure can be immediate short term risks (e.g. extreme weather forecast for tomorrow) or over a longer term (e.g. future adverse climates). A climate change risk assessment assesses the severity and likelihood of climate related risks over the near and long term. We can understand these risks and their impact by investigating hazards\, vulnerability and exposure alongside impacts. Many railway assets have not been maintained and managed for the weather we are experiencing today\, let alone in the future\,and consequently they are not resilient to extreme weather or future climates. In order to become more resilient\, we must adapt. By adapting we are managing the present and future risks associated with extreme weather and climate change. This can be done incrementally; this process is typically referred to as adaptation pathways and ties in with the idea of resilience over the lifecycle of railway assets. As the concept of adaptation is relatively recent and development of it is still in its infancy in many railway systems\, it is crucial to properly define a comprehensive railway climate change adaptation framework. It is also important to develop a maturity assessment to properly evaluate whether or not a railway system is on an effective pathway towards adaptation and to what level of progress they have made. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Chen-Yu Lin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Transportation and Logistics Management at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University in Taiwan. Dr. Lin’s research interests include railway safety and risk analysis\, rail hazardous material transportation\, shared-use rail corridors\, and railway resilience and climatic risk. Dr. Lin obtained his bachelor’s degree from National Taiwan University and a Masters and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, all in civil and environmental engineering.

SUMMARY:APTA Biennial p-REES Program
DESCRIPTION:The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) is pleased to host its fifth biennial Passenger Railway Engineering Education Symposium (p-REES)\, July 11-13\, 2023\, in Washington\, DC\, hosted by both Amtrak and WMATA. Building on the tremendous success of previous programs in Philadelphia\, Los Angeles\, Chicago\, and the 2021 virtual p-REES\, we continue our partnership with the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association (AREMA) to advance rail engineering education. This intensive program is aimed at educating engineering faculty from across North America about the public transportation industry so these faculty can tell our story\, including its many career opportunities\, through their courses\, curricula\, and degree programs. \nParticipation in the 2023 p-REES Symposium will give you the unparalleled opportunity to educate and shape the landscape of our nation’s transit workforce\, according to APTA. This symposium will feature presentations\, discussions\, and lecture materials that you can use and share\, including PowerPoint slides\, notes\, and other materials. Industry speakers will provide an overview of potential rail and transit research opportunities\, and highlight the excitement in the industry about new challenges and industry opportunities available to new graduates entering the rail and transit engineering profession. \nThe 2023 p-REES program will provide practical hands-on engineering information and materials and an abundance of round table conversations and working sessions led by leading engineering academics\, industry experts\, and practitioners. APTA’s goal is to encourage engineering faculty’s interest to add rail and engineering content to their current courses and curricula. This three-day symposium will include also include technical tours of rail systems. This forum provides attendees with an exceptional opportunity to learn and network with academic peers and leading transit engineering professionals. \nPlease register before June 10 to take advantage of the discounted room block.  The room block closes on June 10. \nProgram Topics Include:\n—Railroad Operations/ Modal Characteristics\n—Basic Signals\n—Track\n—Starting a Program\n—Navigating Research and Grant Opportunities\n—Interactive Classroom Demonstrations and Discussions
