With increasing demands for rail transportation, especially in the Asia regions, significant challenges are faced by rail transport operators in terms of efficiency, reliability, costs and commuter satisfaction. To meet these challenges, adopting new technologies to rail transportation are necessary. This conference aims to provide a platform for scientists and engineers working in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings and engineering experiences in enhancing the railway reliability and resiliency. The scope will cover traffic management and train control, system modelling and simulation, transportation planning and timetabling, condition monitoring, big data analytics, and communication technology. • Energy modelling and management • Rail assets integrity and management • Remanufacturin
