 Introduction

Comprail_200x250The 13th International Conference on Design and Operation in Railway Engineering (COMPRAIL 2012) will be held in the New Forest, UK. This is the latest in the very successful series of meetings which started in Frankfurt in 1987 and continued in Rome (1990), Washington (1992), Madrid (1994), Berlin (1996), Lisbon (1998), Bologna (2000), Lemnos (2002), Dresden (2004), Prague (2006), Toledo (2008) and Beijing (2010).

The conference aims to update the use of advanced systems, promoting their general awareness throughout the business management, design, manufacture and operation of railways and other emerging passenger, freight and transit systems. It emphasises the use of computer systems in advanced railway engineering.

Delegates attending COMPRAIL 2012 will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper for possible publication in the International Journal of Sustainable Development and Planning, one of the six edited by the Wessex Institute.

The meeting provides a forum for engineers, planners, designers, manufacturers and operators to discuss how they can benefit from the latest developments in railway engineering.

 Who should attend

The conference will be of interest to railway management, consultants, railway engineers (including signal and control engineers), designers of advanced train control systems and computer specialists. The meeting also attracts planners of railway network systems, manufacturers of track, rolling stock, locomotives and other ancillary equipment, who all have a common interest in the development and application of advanced techniques for the solution of problems in railway and other mass transit systems.
