2 WHY ATTEND PLATFORM TRAIN INTERFACES? 5 December 2016 One Birdcage Walk, London ACCORDING TO TFL passenger incidents at the platform train interface (PTI) HAVE increased by 400% since THE SEMINAR Platform Train Interfaces 2016 will bring together the rail community to address and solve current PTI PROBLEMS. Attendees will hear about operational solutions being implemented by key players across the existing rail network as well as the integration of PTI strategy into plans for new rail developments. Don t miss this opportunity to hear the latest new engineering innovations to risk around the PTI such as gap-filler technology. This is the only event focused on the engineering solutions to mitigate risk around the existing PTI. Take away insights into the new technologies being implemented to increase passenger safety without hindering the overall capacity of the rail network. Running alongside Platform Train Interfaces 2016 will be a half day workshop Door Optimisation as well as an exclusive visit to PAMELA, a research platform at the heart of the UCL Transport Institute. Both events take place on 06 December and can be purchased as part of your seminar attendance package Advisory Board Iain Flynn Head of Network Operations Business Planning Network Rail Cliff Perry Independent Professor Nick Tyler Chadwick Professor of Civil Engineering, Universal Composition Laboratory UCL Why Attend: Learn strategies and engineering innovations to reduce Platform Train Interface (PTI) passenger incidents Hear from rail companies such as, HS2, Govia Thameslink Railway, Crossrail, and Heathrow Express Take an exclusive guided-tour of the PAMELA facility Meet with key players in the PTI industry such as the PTI Strategy Group, RSSB, and PAMELA Have the chance to discover the latest door engineering solutions to reduce risk of passenger incidents and discuss optimal door designs Network and engage with key players in PTI such as design engineers, train operators, rolling stock manufacturers, heads of safety and human factors, regulators Key Programme Highlights: High Speed Two discuss their plans for the passenger journey to be Step free from street to seat Hear an exclusive update from the Platform Train Interface Strategy Group (PTISG) Insights from PAMELA about their latest results on passenger flow studies Learn from Heathrow Express about the success of the implementation of platform gap fillers Thameslink share their recent work with Network Rail on Operational Risk Understand how Crossrail are managing PTI, their challenges and adjusting platform heights Book early and Save up to 15% offer ends 21 OCTOBER 2016
