A review of emerging mobility solutions in the transportation sector Technology is changing transport systems constantly. What no one had thought of 10 years ago is commonplace now. But there is no one to one relationship between a development perceived as key and the ultimate outcome a decade later. So we may be on the verge of a revolution that takes drivers out of trains and cars and pilots out of planes or that concept may be overhyped. Today's innovation may be the game changer or it might end up like the fax machine? Christian Wolmar, award winning transport author and TV pundit explores what makes a technological breakthrough. |

Adding value with Engineering in the transportation It has been 20 years since the birth of the first Toughbook, it this anniversary year we would like to share with the audience what is possible with a little bit of imagination and some engineering wizardry. John will use a couple of real life examples in transportation where a small amount of customisation has overcome technical challenges. |

Aircraft Maintenance goes mobile This workshop will outline the current technological and functional highlights of AMOS. In addition, Swiss AviationSoftware will be launching the AMOSmobile package for line and base maintenance. The demonstration will take a look at the core features of this product, as well as outline the AMOSmobile/EXEC vision. |

Redefining Inflight Entertainment – fast, affordable & highly flexible Typical IFE Systems are complex and their installation is time consuming and costly. In addition, an STC is required to certify the installation for airworthiness. Based on the Panasonic Toughbook, Lufthansa Systems has created a battery driven Wifi-IFE solution that overcomes all these limitations involving complicated certification and time-consuming rollout processes. |

eTechLog8 – The Product, Implementation and Certification and the DHL Express case study Live presentation: An introduction to the Conduce Windows 10 eTechLog8 application that fully replaces the paper based aircraft technical logbooks. A review of product functionality and a review of the National Airworthiness Requirements to be considered for the adoption of an electronic technical log within an airline to ensure a successful implementation and operational approval within the Airline. Case study: In this case study presentation, we hear from DHL Express delivering international express delivery services for parcels and documents. DHL Express operates the network using 250 dedicated aircraft daily and has recently trialled and selected an Electronic TechLog (ETL/ELB) solution. They outline the key project points such as: why use an Electronic TechLog; selecting the right system; gaining airworthiness approval; airline training requirements; Going paperless in the Flight Deck; and more.... |

SIME 4.0 – the advanced maintenance system of RFI Case study - This session shows how SIME , the advanced maintenance system from RFI, collects and integrates with IN.Rete Maintenance all the applications used during the scheduling and execution of the maintenance operations managed by a mobile workforce through the Toughpad FZ-G1. Those applications include the work team management, the hourly basis allocation of the tasks and the survey during the visit on the lines. |

Service and Maintenance from Infrastructure and rolling stock By means of a modular concept, you can now measure a multitude of objects (wheels, brake discs, rails, switches, etc.) with one profile measurement device and analyze them according to your needs. The non-contact CALIPRI method, calculates all relevant wear parameters in the rail and trams and comfortably measures each aspect using only one device. This method not only extends service life but provides substantial cost reductions through its measuring accuracy. |
