PROGRAMME

 

Conference objectives:

        The conference is organized for railway workers, urban transport and factory transport workers, manufacturers and users of rail vehicles and their components, research, devepopment workers, designers, universities staff and all people interested in research, development, design, technology, materials, operation and maintenance of rail vehicles.

        The aim of the conference is to bring information to participants about state and pespectives of development in branch of rail vehicles in broad sense from theoretical achievements, through design, testing, production technologies, material engineering, maintenance to practical operational experience.

        Lectures of the conference are held in three rooms in the building NR of the University of Žilina (with exception of opening ceremony and plenary session which will be in the building NG). Lectures are divided into paralell sections according their specialization:

Section A - lectures devoted to theoretical problems and experimental methods

Section B - lectures devoted to design of rail vehicles and their subsystems,

Section C - lectures devoted to urban transport vehicles, ecology, operation and maintenance, electric equipment, technology and materials.
