MBSE in the Rail Industry - Tues April 11, 2023 - INCOSE Canada

This is an INCOSE volunteer-organized virtual event brought to you at no cost by the INCOSE Canada Chapter in collaboration featuring speaker Qifang Wang and Sergio Guindas García.

Event Abstract

As systems become increasingly complex, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is emerging as a powerful approach for managing this complexity. MBSE can improve communication among stakeholders and support various engineering tasks throughout the system's lifecycle.

In this session hosted by INCOSE Canada, we will explore how MBSE can benefit the railway industry from two different perspectives: the Train Manufacturer and Railway Operator & the Infrastructure Manager. Our speakers will introduce the main technological challenges facing the industry and justify why MBSE is a promising solution. Join us to learn more about the potential added value of MBSE and its application in this exciting industry.
