This module is intended to aid those working in the field who require to embed their knowledge in a systems engineering context as well as those wishing to gain exposure to the railway sector.

The rail industry landscape is changing, with systems engineering being increasingly used in rail projects. Rail systems are more than trains and stations. They involve people, operational models, technical sub-systems, digital solutions, … which all need to be integrated, to deliver a safe and reliable service that meets the needs of various stakeholders.

This module gives a broad understanding of urban and inter-urban rail systems covering key elements and functions, as well as systems engineering concepts needed to face the challenges of developing increasingly complex projects. The module approaches rail transport projects from a whole-system viewpoint, and encourages interdisciplinary thinking. This is achieved through a combination of interactive lectures, class exercise and case studies where the taught concepts are applied.
