Improving the safety of train compartments in Korea

Join us for another MasterClass Webinar, where we will hear about the current research that is improving the safety of train cabs in Korea, and how the technology could be applied in Australia.

We will be joined by Hyunkyu Jun, the Chief Researcher at the Korea Railroad Research Institute, who will provide insights into how the technology works, and more information about the future of digital transformation in railways.

Attend the webinar if you want to:

  • Learn more about the current research that could improve the safety of train cabs
  • Find out more about railway safety in Korea and current issues

Understand how human factors relate to railway safety R&D
