Workshops
Beyond Detection: Combining Wayside Systems, Predictive Monitoring, and Human Oversight to Prevent Derailments
Date & Time of Workshop: Tuesday, May 26 | 3-4:45 pm
Location: Heritage Hall 1
What Attendees Will Gain:
Why detection alone cannot prevent the next derailment:
Examine the limits of current wayside systems as a reactionary safeguard and where predictive onboard monitoring changes the timeline of risk.
How layered safety works when wayside, onboard, and people operate together:
See how established infrastructure, emerging technologies, and human oversight form a coordinated system rather than competing solutions.
Where the workforce remains essential in a more data-driven environment:
Understand how labor continues to install, test, and maintain critical systems while applying expertise to interpret and act on new streams of information.
