Introduction
To enhance familiarity with UIC and its global activities, UIC is organising a series of dedicated web meetings for Asia-Pacific members. These sessions are designed to foster closer collaboration, drive greater engagement in regional UIC initiatives, and provide a direct platform for members to exchange ideas and address specific inquiries.
This particular session will focus on the critical pillars of Infrastructure, Train-Track Interaction and Asset Management.
What the Webinar Will Cover
The webinar will introduce the frameworks of the UIC Infrastructure and Train-Track Interaction and Asset Management activities and shed lights on active or future projects across crucial domains, including railways resilience, predictive maintenance, artificial vision or new technologies for railways inspection.
Please note: This event is exclusive to UIC Asia-Pacific members.
