• 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

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

• 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
