SYNOPSIS
Railway rolling stock and systems are not just complicated by themselves but also need to be closely integrated with each other in design and implementation. They would also have to meet very demanding safety, reliability, maintainability and availability because of the high expectation by the passengers and the critical dependence of the city on it nowadays. Systematic and rigorous planning, design, integration and testing methodologies are required to be set up and put into action to ensure the performance standards can be achieved. This presentation will introduce such key methodologies, project organization and implementation approaches for railway rolling stock and systems projects. This is a continuation of the talk held on 11th Feb 2015
