31 March 2026

Join us at RSSB to explore the evolving landscape of digital assurance in rail fleets. This event will focus on the intersection of cyber security, software engineering, and artificial intelligence.

As rail systems become increasingly connected and intelligent, a holistic approach to assurance is vital to ensure the safety, reliability, and resilience of fleet operations.

Engineers, regulators, assurance managers, and industry leaders will share insights, case studies, and frameworks that support trustworthy innovation in rail systems.

Join us to explore the Freight Precursor Indicator Model (FPIM), a major step forward in improving freight safety through shared, consistent data. FPIM provides a risk based framework that helps identify emerging risks, highlight safety hazards, and support smarter, evidence driven decisions. You’ll hear about progress across the programme, insights into derailment related precursors, and how Freight Operating Companies will collaborate through this new system. This session will give you a clearer view of how FPIM will enhance data quality, efficiency, and sector wide safety performance.
