Cambridge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction

Transforming infrastructure through smarter information
 

CSIC Investigator Dr James Talbot and University of Cambridge PhD student Tobias Carrigan have won the Best Paper Presentation award at an international railway conference in Ghent, Belgium.

The paper titled ‘Extracting information from axle-box accelerometers: on the derivation of rail roughness spectra in the presence of wheel roughness’ features the CSIC project monitoring vibration of trams in the West Midlands. Dr Talbot and Tobias won an award on the same subject at this year’s International Conference on Smart Infrastructure and Construction (ICSIC) in a paper jointly written with CSIC Computer Associate Paul Fidler.

At our Partner Party event in September, Paul took part in a quick-fire round of presentations on projects; watch his four-minute presentation on the CSIC YouTube channel.
