17.00 Complementary tea, coffee and sandwiches.
17.45 Meeting commences.
Note that there is a last minute change of presenter. Dr Will Midgley, who was appointed lecturer in Intelligent Mechatronics and Control Systems Engineering at Loughborough in 2017, will now make the presentation. Ambitious research projects throughout history have sought to improve rail transport by promising higher speed, higher capacity and greater connectivity, but many fail to reach network-wide uptake. Across other transport sectors such as the aviation and automotive industry, an adoption of disruptive technology has seen significant, multi-faceted performance improvements, yet somehow the rail industry seems to lag in these developments.
Will is an academic in the Wolfson School of Mechanical Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering at Loughborough University. He has an active research portfolio in rail research. This talk will take a look at active research in rail and how it is driving towards a future vehicle that meets the changing needs of transport.
