Panel Discussion
|
THE FUTURE OF TMS FOR RAIL
- Where is the GB ‘guiding mind’ for TMS and enabling it to function safely and effectively as part of the broader digital rail system?
- How can cumulative risk enable TMS to recover perturbation effectively?
- How can rail vehicle engineers work with signalling engineers to minimise the unnecessary levels of safety margins?
