WDF – THE NO. 1
business platform for the railway industry.
Know-how, industry overview, networking: The WDF is the central business platform for anyone who is interested in train localisation, traffic management and train tracking. At the biannual highlight of the rail industry, decision makers and experts meet to discuss the trends, innovations and analyse best cases.
The exclusive presentations and the personal exchange with the top speakers will give visitors a comprehensive overview of the market and the substantial success factors. Like no other event in the branch, the WDF stands for the extraordinary importance of intelligent tracking solutions.

HANNO WINTER
TU Darmstadt, DE
I am a PhD student from the Technische Universität Darmstadt. I’m working on sensor fusion algorithms for train borne localisation applications. I was really looking forward to the WDF, because this is one of these seldom opportunities for me as a researcher to get a practical feedback on the algorithms and results we develop. I really enjoy the nice atmosphere at this event and really was surprised how many different countries and cultures take part in this conference and how many different perspectives there can be on such a topic like train borne localisation. I hope it continues with nice talks and good feedback during the couple of hours we have left at this event – thank you very much!

I am delighted by the event – the WDF is awesome! I am in love with the technologies that were presented to us up to now and I am hoping to really soon make it happen in my company.

[…] I am joining here an excellent conference about train detection, wheel detection – all that stuff, really amazing! My expectations have been to meet different people, but it is an outstanding event: I have met operators, consultants, system integrators and all the topics which are covered here are really interesting and amazing. I have to congratulate the organisation committee, which has really established a great meeting here. I was very impressed by the presentation from Siemens and from Frauscher itself about the next axle counter generation. I am really looking forward to the next conference in 2021. […]

SARA BEKHICHE
Lumières et Technologie, MA
This is my first time participating in the WDF in beautiful Vienna. I really enjoyed this event, mostly the topics about IoT, cyber security applied to interlocking and signalling in railway. It was really interesting, I met different experts, different potential clients – and the people were fun, too! I definitely enjoyed the hyperloop presentation, just because it shows us where we can go and that the future is not so far away

MAX SCHUBERT
DB Netz AG, DE
WDF is the event to meet experts and managers from the globe to discuss about fibre optic sensing and axle counting – and of course every topic that is related to that, like safe train tracking, asset condition monitoring or security on the track. The atmosphere here is tremendous, I mean, there are people from all over the world and they are willing to share their thoughts and their experiences. This is what creates new ideas in my head and in this whole area of the railway world – WDF creates and develops these ideas!

ALEXANDER HORCH
HIMA Paul Hildebrandt GmbH, DE
This is my first WDF, I am very happy to be here. As you know, we do commercial of the shelf systems – so the railway industry for me has always something new to learn. There are two things I would like to mention: first of all I think this is excellently organised, it’s overwhelming and I am really happy about the presentations because they have a lot range of very generic topics and very specific topics – so I am happy to be here and I am enjoying the rest of the conference.

STEWART RENDELL
Rail Planning Services Pty Ltd, AU
This is my third WDF, this time just as a person in the audience, listening to what’s happening in the world of development of train tracking. As a system integrator I am really interested in what’s being presented in terms of train localisation and all the background research and development that’s going on. It’s a very exciting time in this industry!

KEITH BARROW
International Railway Journal, UK
I found this forum is a great opportunity to discuss digitalisation topics, which are obviously of great concern and interest for rail operators and infrastructure managers around the world – and particularly to our readers as a trade publication. We value the opportunity to talk to the people behind the technical developments and the advancements in areas such as train detection. This is a good opportunity for us as a media outlet to find out what’s going on in development of digitalisation.

ZHANG HUI
CRSC (Xi’an) and Rail transit Industry Group Co., Ltd., CN
[…] In the past I have worked for the axle counter business for more than 13 years, but when coming here I can feel that I found my community. Here we get to know each other, as people who are working in the axle counter business internationally. And of course I get to know some very new technologies – it is a very nice experience! […]
