_{international Symposium}

PASSIVE SAFETY of RAIL VEHICLES

Every two years, IFV Bahntechnik e. V. - the Interdisciplinary Railway Research Association - and the Chair of Rail Vehicles at Technical University Berlin are organising an international symposium for PASSIVE SAFETY of RAIL VEHICLES.

The Goal of this unique Meeting Point for Experts and Companies is to discuss the STATE OF THE ART in the relevant fields of PASSIVE SAFETY.

Nine recent Symposia were very successful: excellent PRESENTATIONS from capable Speakers, interesting Presentations of Products and Services during the EXHIBITION and inspiring Conversations during the NETWORKING EVENT are the integral Components of the interdisciplinary Summit.

Great Resonance shows that the chosen Topics are HIGHLY RELEVANT for Experts from so many Countries.

The Speakers will present important Results from Research Projects or will discuss relevant Developments in the normative and legislative Framework: Especially EN 15227 and its Revision will be in the strategic Centre.

 ROLLING STOCK and PASSIVE SAFETY

 CRASHWORTHINESS and INTERIOR DESIGN

 RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

 REGULATIONS, NORMS and STANDARDS

 and OTHER SPECIAL TOPICS related to PASSIVE SAFETY of RAIL VEHICLES

YOU are invited to join this conference as participant or to present your company’s products during the

exhibition PASSIVE SAFETY 2015!
