Secure Rail takes place April 5-6, 2017, at the Rosen Plaza Hotel in Orlando, FL.
Added sessions include:
- Track Intrusion Detection Systems using Multi-Sensor Analytics
- Deployable Small Form Factor Network Monitoring and Analysis Solution for
Wayside PTC Network
- How Alaska Railroad Monitors Trackside Cabinets and Telecom Sites
Railway threats continue to arise in different shapes and forms posing a permanent challenge for the rail system. When it comes to protecting passengers, freight, staff, trains and stations, railways cannot continue to secure their infrastructure with the solutions of yesterday.
The first step toward protection is education that lends itself to a better understanding of the changing cultural, social, technological and economic environment pertaining to railways. Dealing and responding to potential threats today range from daily crimes (pickpocketing, vandalism) to more sophisticated threats (cybercrime, terrorism) and require a true comprehensive and collaborative approach.
New Educational Sessions
Track Intrusion Detection Systems using Multi-Sensor Analytics
Platform and track safety and security are prime concerns for many transit agencies worldwide. Accurately detecting and providing real-time situational analysis for people and objects that enter or fall into the track bed is crucial to transit safety and security. The talk will examine how the use of multi-sensor technologies, including real-time LIDAR and video analytics, create a robust solution that enables rapid analysis, feedback and response to track intrusion.
Deployable Small Form Factor Network Monitoring and Analysis Solution for Wayside PTC Network
This case study provides a deep-dive into CSX's new rugged, small form factor deployable network monitoring and analysis solution used to analyze CSX's wayside PTC network. The system utilizes enterprise technology from Net Scout that integrates with CSX's enterprise level network monitoring and is packaged into a small transportable kit enabling rapid, in-field spot monitoring at a moment's notice. The speakers will share requirements and environmental constraints, the solution architecture and detailed design and lessons learned. Attendees will learn how to build similar systems for themselves.
How Alaska Railroad Monitors Trackside Cabinets and Telecom Sites
If remote monitoring and control strategies work in Alaska, they'll work just about anywhere. You're responsible for mission-critical trackside and telecom facilities. Learn directly from Telecommunications Manager Brian Studinski how to remotely monitor and control your equipment. Avoid wasteful (and sometimes even dangerous) site visits. Protect your revenue by maximizing uptime. Boost profitability by minimizing waste. You may not need every one of Brian's tips (maybe you don't normally see temperatures below -40 degrees), but you can directly benefit from the proven remote management techniques he uses in one of the harshest environments imaginable.
