IRSE - Papers

Papers
Technical papers are prepared, published and presented covering a wide spectrum of topics in railway control and communications. The main section papers are presented in London between October and April each year, and are generally published in IRSE News prior to the author’s presentation. Both members and non-members are welcome to attend the presentations which are free of charge. There is a question and answer forum after each presentation with the main points of the discussion recorded and printed together with the paper in the annual proceedings.

Forthcoming local papers
Details of technical papers for each of the local sections can be found in the IRSE near you area of this website.
