Course Description
The railway is an alternative means of transport to the car, and is being promoted due to the saturation of the road networks. The construction of new underground, railway and metro lines is clearly on the increase. This course aims at providing the necessary information needed in designing these systems starting from determining the locations of the stations and the operating scenarios. It also discusses multidisciplinary design of the stations and depot area, and prepation of the construction plans of the selected route. It introduces participants to the most crucial activity to be undertaken during track desing such as determaining the correct dimensions to be used for the track gauge and wheel gauge.
Course Objectives
- Presenting an overall summary of the maintenance principles of track systems in metro
- Understanding metro rail dynamic system design
- Learning about soil-structure interaction
- Discussing railway alignment design and geometry
- Maintaining safe and efficient ways of metro track design
Who Should Attend?
- Project Design Team Members
- Engineers
