Description
This module provides a starting point for critically examining the systems and subsystems that make up railway infrastructure and rolling stock. The module describes the interfaces between these sub-systems and the other sub-systems of the railway. It allows students to develop a solid understanding of the technologies and components of railway infrastructure and rolling stock, including system and component design, performance under different operating conditions, installation, maintenance, and people. The module also covers the governmental, financial, and management issues that affect the rolling stock and infrastructure systems. The module is delivered through case studies, interactive lectures, and team activities to develop learning with support from guest lecturers from industry.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module students should be able to:
Deduce the role of rolling stock and infrastructure within the system railway;
Specify the type of infrastructure and/or rolling stock for a particular set of requirements;
Demonstrate awareness in detail about the various components and sub-systems of infrastructure and rolling stock;
Describe the interfaces between the infrastructure and/or rolling stock and the railway system;
Calculate different infrastructure and rolling stock performance parameters;
Explain the management issues relating to infrastructure and rolling stock.
