IRS Rail Webinars
Harnessing IoT for preventing and recovering from rail incidents
Part 2: Drones: how can railways promptly restore operations after an incident?
21 November 2022 | Available on-demand
ABOUT THE WEBINAR:
Once an incident occurs, infrastructure managers and operators need to gather data quickly to make the best decisions on safety and service restoration. Disruptions affect passengers and freight customers, and often lead to significant fines.
This session looked at how drones could offer an overview of an incident, communicating vital information before any rescue and engineering personnel can reach the site.
Expert speakers included a national infrastructure manager, passenger operator, incident management experts Frequentis, and airspace intelligence specialists Dronecloud.
How can drones fit into incident management strategy? What is the key to efficient incident management when many stakeholders are involved?
