Call for abstracts, ILCAD 2019
ILCAD 2019 International Conference will be hosted by the Dutch railway infrastructure manager, ProRail, on June 6, 2019, in Amersfoort, Netherlands.
ILCAD is a joint commitment that began in 2009 with ELCAD (EU countries + Israel). Since then, UIC has been coordinating this worldwide event to raise public awareness about the dangers at level crossings.
ILCAD, spearheaded by the UIC https://uic.org draws railway industry representatives, road authorities, academics and more from around the world - aims to raise awareness about the dangers associated with the road/rail interfaces (level crossings).
This international conference on 6 June will be preceded by a social event on 5th in the evening and followed by a technical visit on 7th June 2019.
The conference will take place only in English; it will be recorded and available on www.ilcad.org.
