As the global railway industry continues to expand, the need for infrastructure specialists with a deep understanding of integrated transport systems is more critical than ever. This specialised module equips professionals with the essential knowledge and skills to plan and design modern rail infrastructure that meets the evolving demands of today\u2019s urban and intercity transport networks.<\/p>
Learners will gain a comprehensive understanding of rail infrastructure planning principles, with a strong emphasis on the relationship between track layout and vehicle dynamics.<\/p>
The module is delivered by a German expert and veteran in railway track design, construction, and maintenance. He currently chairs the EU\u2019s working group on \u201cBallastless Track Systems\u201d under CEN TC 256 SC1. This group is responsible for developing the first set of European standards for ballastless track systems, bringing cutting-edge expertise directly to the classroom.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Dr.-Ing. Bernhard Lechner<\/strong><\/p>
Chair and Institute of Road, Railway and Airfield Construction (Prof. Freudenstein)<\/strong><\/p>
After receiving his Dipl.-Ing. (M.Sc.) degree Dr. Bernhard Lechner joined the transportation infrastructure industry by working as a site manager of \u201cHeilit+Woerner\u201d construction company at the new Munich Airport (MUC). Beside other works the contract covered mainly the installation of the runways, taxiways and apron areas using concrete pavement technology. The environmental effects on such kind of pavements and the respective integration into the design tools for safe and sustainable airside infrastructure were focused by his doctoral thesis (Dr.-Ing. 1996, summa cum laude). Since 1998 he is senior researcher at the pavement and railway track laboratory and lecturer for road, airfield and railway design, construction and maintenance.<\/p>
Beside teaching and research activities on international level Dr. Lechner is member of several boards and working groups to maintain his strong collaboration with transportation infrastructure industry, administration and academia. E.g. since 2012 he is the chairman of EU\u00b4s working group \u201cBallastless track systems\u201d of CEN TC 256 SC1. This working group is actually implementing the first set of European standards for ballastless track systems.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
