In this rapidly changing world, UIC’s objectives are to bring new ideas, benchmark and technical solutions into the railway community and to develop a long-term vision sustained by standards and innovations.

In this spirit, UIC is organising the First Global UIC Digital Intelligent Rail Conference in partnership with Infrabel in Brussels from 3 – 5 June 2019.

This event will be open to the railway community, to the other associations, to the industry partners, to universities and to the global digital ecosystem.

In the 21st century, rail is facing the challenges of the digital revolution.
Several high-level speakers will be present during the conference, such as the following keynote speakers for the opening session:

• Brett McMillen, Director of US Amazon Web Services
• Jean Michel Mis, Member of the French Government
• Grazia Vittadini, Chief Technical Officer Airbus Italy
• Ryan Jannise, Vice-President of ORACLE DOD (US Department of Defense)

The DIR Conference will be held in Brussels, at Square - the Brussels Convention Centre. The 3 June will be dedicated to a technical visit, the 4 and 5 June to the speaker’s session.

The main topics are:

• Operations Panel
  Signalling and Asset Management through digital revolution. A challenge for rail: autonomous trains.

• Maintenance Panel
  IoT for data collection. Combining big data with artificial intelligence leads to a new maintenance model: how to go from preventive to predictive.

• Security Panel
  Digital Intelligent Railway creates new opportunities but also new threats. A new approach to security must be implemented: how to combine security and privacy.

• Passenger Panel
  New services for customers. Intermodality and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) are two key concepts for a new model of mobility.

• Freight Panel
  Interoperability, safety and security in freight thanks to digitalisation. Mobility also applies to freight.

In parallel to the event, a digital challenge will take place in the exhibition area during the conference.
