#32 – Conversation with Mats Boman

Doc Frank chats with Mats Boman from Stockholm in Sweden. Mats is a truly global player who has been “around the block” and now focuses on how railways can formalise how they work. This is important for a number of things including the succession planning for retiring experts and the introduction of new technology without losing the character of the railway. Please enjoy!Show notes:1)      The CBTC Kickstarter course is the longest-running CBTC training in the world. The new online version of this training allows people from all over the world to improve their understanding of the most sophisticated technology for signalling and train control, regardless of time zone or preferred learning rhythm. This training is specifically targeted at railway professionals with little or no prior signalling knowledge whose jobs are now impacted by the introduction of CBTC for improving capacity and performance of the railway. But experience has shown that “signalling people” and even seasoned CBTC specialists can benefit from this training, too.<br/> Information and sign-up for this CBTC Kickstarter Online training is available on https://docfranktraining.podia.com/cbtckickstarter-online2023. 2)      The CBTC World Summit 2023 (20-21 September) is the first truly global CBTC conference that does not require travel around the world to attend.
