Introduction to Rolling Stock Digital Systems Training
Course overview
Individuals involved in introducing new systems or upgrading legacy systems on rolling stock may have limited exposure to digital technologies such as software, telecommunications networks, and cybersecurity. The course is designed to help close gaps in knowledge.
It equips delegates with the knowledge they need to assess digital systems in the context of engineering changes aligned with RIS-2700-RST. It also enables them to identify when additional internal or external expertise is required for more complex or unfamiliar challenges.
-
Learning outcomes
