S7E166: The challenges of Project Managing CBTC Technology on Brownfield Railways with Joe Little

In this episode, Dale and (Martin) stepped in to talk with long-time colleague Joe Little about the value and importance of the project management approach for major signalling rail programs. Unlike other fields of project management CBTC or Communication Based Train Control systems present unique challenges for project managers, often dealing with the pressure of fixed and digital asset delivery within very time-sensitive areas which have major implications for safety, quality, cost and schedule. Joe leads CPC’s railway systems management division, focussed on delivering technical advice and performance enhancements for signalling systems on rail networks around the world. Joe is an experienced and accomplished Director with extensive rail project management capability gained in a highly regulated industry. He is a Project Management Professional from the Chartered body, APM. He manages a specialist team of engineers, operators and project managers who are embracing the latest technologies to interrogate rail systems and provide customised and innovative solutions to deliver capacity and reliability improvements and desired client outcomes. Joe has been instrumental in developing a range of diagnostic and modelling tools capable of being tailored to specific railway networks. This has included the introduction of Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) for multiple mass transit Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) railways in North America, Asia and the Middle East. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/project-chatter-podcast/message
