Reliable fire protection requires solutions that eliminate risks while preserving the full operational capacity of the protected electronic systems. 

• Learning system: capturing human insights from incidents and near misses  

• Designing controls that fit real behaviour 

• Is the industry suffering from tick‑box e‑learning? Assessing the merits of scenario‑based training and how to realistically implement it

• It’s “The Law”: (EU) Regulation 2024/2847 has immediate effect across the EU without need of national transposition 
• How mandatory cybersecurity requirements do apply to the whole supply chain of the Raiway Industry 
• Key obligations and timelines behind years 2026 and 2027 
• Why cybsec is crucial for validation and homologation of automatic Fire Protection Systems on Rolling Stock 
• “Strategic tools” and roadmap for compliance to legal obligations: use of SSDLC, EN 5012x, ISO 27001, IEC 62443, EN 50701 

• Background 

• Thermal runaway & related safety 

• Risks of battery fires 

• Report from research projects 

• e-Bikes on trains 

• Latest innovations in rolling-stock fire safety; from advanced fire-resistant materials and early-warning sensors to predictive analytics, battery-fire management, and next-generation suppression systems. 

• Addressing how digitalization, AI diagnostics, and modern engineering are shifting fire protection from a reactive obligation to a proactive, data-driven discipline 

• Highlighting how these developments align with current and emerging regulatory requirements, ensuring that safety strategies remain compliant and future ready. 

• “Fire Safety 4.0”; A forward- looking view of what it means for operators, manufacturers, and engineers as new risks emerge, and standards continue to evolve
