railway friction and break conference

Location

SRM Institute of Science & Technology Chennai, India

Date

On 10.12.2019 to 11.12.2019

The conference will bring together industry, policy makers and the research community to share technical knowledge and do business. Speakers have been carefully selected for their technical expertise and experience of doing railway business in India. You can expect to hear presentations on technical topics like novel metal-ceramic pads, brake design, safety and testing, friction solutions for metro, as well as presentations on business development topics, which are specific to the Indian market, such as railway procurement and market entry structures. The Railway Brake and Friction Conference series is now in its fourth successful year. Industry, public sector and the research community attend this conference each year.
