 The conference aims to update the use of advanced systems, promoting their general awareness throughout the business management, design, manufacture and operation of railways and other emerging passenger, freight and transit systems. It emphasises the use of computer systems in advanced railway engineering.

The meeting provides a forum for engineers, planners, designers, manufacturers and operators to discuss how they can benefit from the latest developments in railway engineering.

Who should attend

The conference will be of interest to railway management, consultants, railway engineers (including signal and control engineers), designers of advanced train control systems and computer specialists. The meeting also attracts planners of railway network systems, manufacturers of track, rolling stock, locomotives and other ancillary equipment, who all have a common interest in the development and application of advanced techniques for the solution of problems in railway and other mass transit systems.

_Conference Books Papers are published in paper and digital format and widely distributed throughout the world. Delegates will have the option to receive a copy of the book in paper or digital format at the time of registration. Papers are also archived at http://library.witpress.com 
_Open Access Authors have the option to make their work available in Open Access format for wider dissemination.
_Journal Papers Presenters will be invited to submit a paper to one of the six International Scientific Journals edited by the Wessex Institute.
_Networking Participants can present their research and interact with experts from around the world, becoming part of a unique community.

Abstract and Paper Submission Information

Papers are invited on the topics outlined and others falling within the scope of the meeting.Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be submitted as soon as possible. Abstracts should clearly state the purpose, results and conclusions of the work to be described in the final paper.

We strongly encourage the submission of abstracts electronically, by clicking on the Submit an Abstract . If you prefer, abstracts can be sent by email, fax or mail to the Conference Secretariat. Details can be found on the left side of this page. Please include your name, full address and conference topic on all submissions.

Final acceptance will be based on the full-length paper, which if accepted for publication, must be presented at the conference. The language of the conference will be English.

The paper deadline will be advised after submission of abstracts.

Late Paper Submission

Papers may still be accepted for oral presentation shortly before the conference takes place. It may not however, always be possible to include late papers in the Conference Proceedings. Instead, late papers may be published in a future edition of the conference book series.
