IET London Events

Transport opportunities are highly inconsistent across Great Britain, with gaps in public transport and active travel networks. This research presents accessibility analysis of GB transport networks using a new web mapping platform, enabling sustainable transport indicators to be analysed and city outcomes compared.

Today's financial technology platforms need to assess risk in real-time. This presentation will discuss the three major phases of risk management evolution over the past 20 years: and the software and data engineering technology used by these.

Cranfield ATC has kindly accepted to host a small group (15) of IET London Harrow Local Network to show around their operational virtual tower and their newly installed EASAT co-located PSR & MSSR radars.

The industry next leap is not just digital - its intelligent. With AI reshaping travel and aviation operations, the airport can deliver smarter journeys, faster decisions and more resilient services.

With escalating energy prices, environmental concerns, and significant system replacement costs, it's is a good time to look at how new and existing heating systems can be improved by the application of some engineering. The talk will show how the use of 'Smart Boiler Control', monitoring and controlling key parameters can reduce energy use by up to 25%.

The presentation examines signalling system engineering investigations within the rail industry focusing on how technical assurance, failure analysis and standards development underpin operational safety. It outlines how modern investigation practices are shaped by historic incidents such as Clapham, Ladbroke Grove and Potters Bar. This is where latent design, wiring, or maintenance faults combined with inadequate testing led to catastrophic outcomes. The presentation explores failure modes across assets including track circuits, points, and interlockings. Highlighting the role of human factors, configuration errors and non-compliant testing such as deviations from SMTH and SWTH. Case studies including Dalwhinnie and a recent multi-train collision in India reinforce the consequences of inadequate verification and validation. It further covers the evolution of engineering controls including structured testing handbooks, competency management and independent assurance.
