Optimizing Interface Management on Railway Projects
About
Rail construction projects involve diverse disciplines, each with interdependent interfaces. Poor Interface Management (IM) can lead to delays, cost overruns, safety risks, and inefficiencies, often caused by fragmented communication, design-execution misalignment, and reliance on outdated methods.
This presentation will explore how proactive IM strategies and emerging digital solutions can optimize both functional and non-functional interfaces, improving coordination and reducing project risks. Key areas include:
Challenges in Traditional IM – Fragmented communication, data silos, and lack of real-time coordination.
Innovative Solutions
Case Studies & Lessons Learned – Examples of rail projects leveraging tools.
Outlook – How digital transformation is reshaping rail construction.
Role of Early Requirements Capture – Using Systems Engineering to define clear system boundaries and interface requirements early on.
