On November 13-14, 2024, TRAIN was excited to host a visit from Dr. Riley Edwards, Assistant Professor, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, who gave a seminar entitled “Leveraging Emerging Railway Track Health Data for Track Condition Assessment and Buckle Risk Hot Spot Detection”. It was great to see Riley and learn more about his ongoing research while discussing plans for collaboration through the new FRA-sponsored National University Rail Center of Excellence. Both UIUC RailTEC and the UT TRAIN Lab are members of this exciting new academic railway research, education and technology transfer consortium.
