16.00 Organisational Matters

  • What are our specialities? We might want to put the following on the webpages with some pictures and text – naturally, the below is the result of an initial brainstorming and up for discussion:
  • Verification
  • Software Verification of interlocking computers (ladder logic)
  • Creating trust in verification (Alec, Harry)
  • Modelling and verification of ERTMS (ongoing papers)
  • Modelling and verification of traditional signalling (established track record, but no ongoing work)
  • AI-Techniques
  • Creating trust in verification (Marek)
  • Monitoring data of High-speed Railway using Large Language Models [Yue – Engineering]
  • Railway Timetabling (from trackplans to timetables that meet customer demand)
  • Public outreach – Rail Table
  • Technology Transfer [confirmed with Daniele]
  • Research Community Building – European Group = MSCA consortium?
  • Railway Policy / Best Practices / Standards (?)
  • Railway Security (?)

·        Monika: Report on the MSCA application

·        Railway Impact Case Study (lead goes from MR to MS)

·        Monika: Report on her GCRE visit

·        Setting up an email list

  • Create a webpages of our Research Group
  • Reaching out to
  • UKKRIN
  • UKKRIN – PhD topic list (Monika?)
  • Southampton
  • Birmingham
  • GCRE
