Railway engineering
Railway engineering encompasses the design, construction and operation of a variety of railway transport systems. This discipline of engineering requires extensive knowledge regarding the materials and components, railway rolling stock, cableway equipment, equipment for maintenance and metro, tram and light rail equipment.
Standards assist with defining best practice approaches from test methods in maintenance checks to understanding the materials needed for specific purposes in the construction of railway systems.
