Railway Engineering is a multidisciplinary application field that involves the latest technologies of the domains of mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering and information technologies. To meet the complexity and international character of this industry, the new Railway Vehicles and Infrastructure Engineering (RVIE) program follows a unique concept.
RVIE is a collaboration of TGGS, Chulalongkorn University, and RWTH Aachen University to combine the best know-how into the three-year program that includes one full year of studies in Germany.
RVIE offers the choice of two majors:
- Railway Vehicles Engineering (RVE) focuses on rail vehicle technology, railway vehicle vibration dynamics, joining and construction of railway vehicles, design for reliability and maintenance of railway vehicles, wheel/rail interactions, rolling stock condition monitoring and maintenance, railway vehicles passenger safety and comfort, and railway AC and DC traction power supplies.
- Railway Infrastructure Engineering (RIE) focuses on railway track engineering, structural testing and evaluation of railway infrastructure, railway time tabling and operations, railway control and signaling systems, railway electrification, condition monitoring and maintenance of rail track and components, energy management and power quality for railway systems, and environment sustainability of railway system.
