To realise the benefits of next generation intelligence, a unified vision and strategy is required to ensure we are understanding how to best leverage the information we are receiving, and how we are managing the vast amount of data associated with new systems. Asset Information and data management will allow more precise decisions to be made to balance cost, risk and performance, supporting operational effectiveness and efficiency. We will be addressing how the European rail sector are developing and implementing asset information strategies, managing data across multiple disparate systems and leveraging new technologies to succeed.

The convergence of technology and infrastructure has the ability to transform
our communities and economy, reduce emissions as well provide an opportunity
for business leaders to optimise asset performance and reduce cost. To realise
the benefits of next generation intelligence, a unified vision and strategy is
required to ensure we are understanding how to best leverage the information
we are receiving, and how we are managing the vast amount of data associated
with new systems.
Asset Information and data management will allow more precise decisions
to be made to balance cost, risk and performance, supporting operational
effectiveness and efficiency.
We will be addressing how the European rail sector are developing and
implementing asset information strategies, managing data across multiple
disparate systems and leveraging new technologies to succeed.

9.10 The changing landscape created by increasing asset
data and information volumes – an urban railway’s
perspective of the challenges and opportunities.
• Setting the scene in terms of the world’s oldest
railway and the fact that we have been

• Variance assessment and fault identification
London Overground at Transport for London, Peter
Kiernan, Head of Infrastructure Management
11.50 Asset Management and Information; two sides of
the same coin

• The asset management process and focus
• The need of risk management and condition monitoring
• The connection between asset management
business and information & data management

13.00 Networking Lunch
14.30 Asset management in a “practical way” in the
railway domain in France and with the UIC
• The way we use the patrimony datas to elaborate
the right information (cross the many asset type as
signaling, track, switches, earth work)
• Enhancing decision making abilities and balancing
between maintenance and renewal
• Leveraging data for the adaptation of the
maintenance level, adaptation of the next product
design
SNCF, Marc Antoni, Asset management, Head of
technological Innovation
15.05 Smart data collection to continuously monitor the
status of your infrastructure – an Intelligent Rail
example

15.40 Coffee and afternoon networking
16.15 Case study: There is a long way to go on HS2
before we will be in a position to manage
operational assets. We are configuring our Asset
Information Management Systems (AIMS) with an
eye towards future operations so that the data we
hold on our planned assets supports and informs
each stage of the project lifecycle, from design
through construction and into operation. It is our
intention that the data held in the AIMS will grow
and develop with the project so that it becomes
the core of the Asset Management Systems for the
operational railway.
