Description:
The Workshop focus was on the specific safety requirements of railbound transportation systems. For the latter, early warning is crucial not only because of the long braking times of trains but also because of the high demands on track geometry and stability necessary for safe train operation. In addition, after a natural disaster, reliable and fast information about the state of the railway infrastructure (damage map) is of utmost importance in order to mitigate the consequences of the disaster. During two days experts from the fields of seismology, sensor technology, railway engineering, computer science, and railway safety reviewed the state of the art and the potential of early warning for transportation systems. Major workshop topics were – seismic early warning and sensors, – early warning of endangered trains, – damage assessment for railway infrastructure, – modern geo-standard based information systems, – train control and safety strategies. Another purpose of the workshop was to delineate the possibilities and limitations of a railway infrastructure integrated network of accelerometers that can be used for permanent structural health monitoring and earthquake early warning.
