Dear Rail Executive,

“Take advantage of opportunities arising from the huge investments in rail infrastructure in the Asia Pacific region and be part of Asia’s commitment to rail systems development.”

According to the latest edition of SCI Verkehr’s “The World Market for Railway Technology” published in September 2010, the world rail market will reach 160 billion euros by 2015. The current growth spurt is being driven by massive investment in China and for the first time ever, China leads the top 10 rankings in terms of investment in railway technology. A clear shift in the overall market balance in favour of Asian players is predicted for the next five years.

The rail industry is booming with almost every Asia Pacific city boasting of expanding current rail network, new lines, airport rail links and building additional stations on the rail network. Whilst China and India still remain huge markets for potential rail systems development and investment, emerging countries including Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia are fast gaining in importance. As China moves from an importer to an exporter and India putting more emphasis on rail development, we see a significant change in the region’s rail market offering new opportunities for manufacturers, suppliers, consultants and investors.

Threats of security and safety are of prime importance as rail operators develop their networks and improve their technology.

The Rail Systems Asia 2011 International Congress will be your one stop forum to get the latest updates on rail projects, policies and government incentives from countries in the Asia Pacific region.

Why you need to attend Rail Systems Asia 2011: 40+ insightful presentations and case studies to benchmark against 17+ rail operators presenting updates and opportunities including the region’s 2 biggest markets –China and India 10 regions represented outlining current government policies and incentives to invest 5 value added learning interactive panel sessions 1 Special Half Day India Briefing and extra value half day workshop 1 full day post congress behind the scenes look at Shanghai’s rail facilities 1 comprehensive and information packed rail congress that you cannot afford to miss

Morning Workshop

9:00 Understanding the benefi ts of using Positive Train Control (PTC) Led By: Ron Lindsey, Project Leader, Safety Evaluation Study, Egyptian National Railways PTC is a safety enhancement system with the primary purpose of preventing the most common source of train accidents – train crew errors. Whilst PTC is mandated for freight and passenger trains across USA, it is often misunderstood by railways, suppliers and railroad regulators across the globe as to its role and interaction with traffi c control systems, wireless communication networks, and on board vs back offi ce systems. This intensive value-added half day workshop will clarify what PTC is and isn’t by addressing the following key issues: The difference between train controls, traffi c management and PTC The levels of PTC PTC in signaled and non-signaled operations The primary components of PTC The safety benefi ts of PTC The business benefi ts of PTC Who Should Attend and Why This workshop will benefi t railway management, suppliers, investors and government regulators which a keen desire to improve the performance of their railway systems. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to evaluate the opportunity for PTC for their railways as well as be aware of the appropriate resources to pursue its implementation. About Your Workshop Leader Ron Lindsey has 36 years in the rail industry as both railroad management and as a consultant. His railroad positions include Chief Engineer Communications as well as Director of Advanced Train Control for Class I railroads in the U.S. In the latter position he was the architect for the fi rst PTC system that provided the basis for the PTC systems now being developed across the U.S. to meet a Federal mandate for implementation before 2016. With 19 years as an independent consultant Ron focuses on the strategic deployment of technologies in the rail and intermodal industries. Ron is currently the Project Leader for a Safety Evaluation Study for the Egyptian National Railways that will include the consideration of PTC.
