The document discusses various public transportation vehicle and system concepts developed by Vossloh Kiepe GmbH including:
- A proposed "Mega-Trolleybus" high-capacity electric bus concept
- The Vossloh Valencia high-speed tram-train with a maximum speed of 100 kph
- KIEPE's electrical systems used on light rail vehicles including propulsion systems, air conditioning, and driver ergonomics as seen on the Cologne K5000 LRV
Lessons on Leading Change from an American Icon WebinarGavin McMahon
Bryce G. Hoffman, author of the best-selling book “American Icon: Alan Mulally and the Fight to Save Ford Motor Company,” lead a free webinar on three key lessons from the Ford turnaround that you can use to change your company’s culture, drive accountability and foster teamwork. Under Mulally’s leadership, the famed automaker went from the brink of bankruptcy to record profits in just two years. By listening in, learn how your organization can use the same principles to meet its goals.
- The Importance of Culture
- How to Use Message Discipline
- The Business Progress Review -
A Powerful Tool for Leading Change
This presentation gives an outook into the challenges faced by engineers in building the bullet train system, from Japan to around the world. India is also bringing itself to this system and these challenges will serve as the first things to work upon.

Connected & Driverless vehicles: the road to Safe & Secure mobility?Bill Harpley
Over many decades, the automotive industry has built up an enviable reputation for Safety and Reliability. But will the mass arrival of connected and automous vehicles put this hard-won reputation at risk.
In future, the affordance of Safety will depend very much in the effective functioning of Cybersecurity, both in-vehicle at at infrastructure scale.
This presentation looks at how the automotive industry is managing to adapt to the brave new world of the Connected Car. It looks at the source of security vulnerabilities, the current state of the art and the measures the industry is taking to align Safety and Security design processes.
After decades of anticipation, practical self-driving cars are here. Drive.ai will deploy a self-driving car service for public use in Texas starting in July.
We can continue pushing self-driving forward by focusing on three key elements: industry-leading AI technology, local partnerships, and people-centric safety.
2018 has been exciting for Pakistan’s auto industry as many foreign investors and car makers have vowed to bring their top of the line vehicles to the local market. Many companies have already confirmed their plans for investing in Pakistan in the coming year, while others are in the process of acquiring the necessary approvals and local support. Pakistan government passed the "Auto Policy 2016-21", which offers tax incentives to new automakers to establish manufacturing plants in the country. Renault, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, Volkswagen, FAW and many Chinese car makers have expressed interest in entering the Pakistani market. So far more than 12 automakers have announced to collaborate with different companies in Pakistan, under the Greenfield as well as Brownfield investment categories.

Autonomous vehicles: becoming economically feasible through improvements in l...Jeffrey Funk
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to analyze how autonomous vehicles are becoming economically feasible throug through improvements in lasers, microelectronic mechanical systems (MEMS), integrated circuits (ICs), and other components. Although the cost of the Google Car is currently about 150,000 USD, 30% annual improvements in lasers, MEMS, and ICs will make these economically feasible for a broad number of users in the next ten years. A key issue is when certain lanes, roads or even entire highway systems are restricted to automated vehicles. This would enable collision avoidance to rely more on between-vehicle communications. This would further reduce the cost of automated vehicles, stimulate diffusion, and also reduce transportation time and increase fuel efficiency.

City Speak XI - Is transport the solution or the enemy? Pascal Dupont of AlstomDesigningHongKong
Development and transport are closely related, but how do we connect the dots and guarantee a livable city for future generations?
Lifting the moratorium in Mid-levels, reducing the threshold for redevelopment and the constant pressure to increase density are all choking the older parts of Hong Kong with more traffic and roadside air pollution.
How do we deal with the increased traffic on new roads to the Mainland? How many more roads are we planning to build on our waterfront? Is there too much public transport clogging up our roads? Is replacing pedestrian crossings with subways and footbridges a good thing?
What plans are there for environmentally friendly transport and aesthetically more pleasing transport infrastructure in Hong Kong? Where are the hopes for making our city more pedestrian-friendly? Can new engine technology solve our problems? Could electronic road pricing help? Will the new rail lines be enough? Do we have a sustainable (transport) plan for our city?
Planners, engineers, academics and officials will discuss whether transport is our solution or our enemy.
