Presidential lecture No.5 Autonomous vehicles and level crossings
12 Jan 2023 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
Section: For further details, please contact events@irse.org

All are welcome to join us for the fifth in the Presidential lecture series on Andy Knight's theme of 'shaping the future'

The livelink is available via https://vimeo.com/event/2732742 and no pre-registration is required

Hugh Rochford MIRSE (SNCF Reseau and IRSE's International Technical Committee) and Viriginie Taillandier (SNCF and researcher in the field of connected level crossings) will be presenting a paper on behalf of the International Technical Committee on autonomous vehicles and level crossings.

The car industry has strongly benefited from Innovation and technology. It is now advanced enough to provide automatic warning or direct assistance to car drivers, reducing hazardous behaviour when facing a level crossing and thus significantly reducing fatal accidents. Both connected and automated vehicles are discussed in this paper to show how they can, in the future, interact with a communicating level crossing and increase safety as well as offering an alternative to costly civil works to suppress level crossings.

The IRSE are pleased to invite you to join us in person on Thursday 12 January at the RAF Club, London W1J 7PY (close to Green Park and Hyde Park Corner tube stations), via livelink or watch the video afterwards. All those attending in person or via livelink will be able to participate in the question and answer session with the presenters.

No reservations are required to watch the livelink via https://vimeo.com/event/2732742.
