OBJETIVOS PARTICIPANTE (S) ASPECTOS RELEVANTES EN EL DESARROLLO DE LA ACTIVIDAD Recibir entrenamiento técnico especializado en el uso, modelado, y edición del software de simulación ferroviario RAILSIM 8 de SYSTRA Consulting, Inc. Acrecentar las capacidades científicas y tecnológicas panameñas en materia de ingeniería ferroviaria para realizar futuras formaciones, asesorías, consultorías enel area de simulaciones ferroviarias orientadas al proyecto de la línea 1 del metro de Panamá. Esstablcer contactos y relaciones para futuras capacitaciones, convenios y becas dentro del marco de nuestras líneas de interes.Generar las capacidades científicas y tecnológicas panameñas estables y permanentes en materia de ingeniería ferroviaria para realizar futuras formaciones, asesorías consultorías en materia de simulaciones ferroviarias orientadas al proyecto de la línea 1 del metro de Panamá. Dra. Aranzazu Berbey Alvarez, Dr. Rony J. Caballero George e Ing. Celso A. Spencer T. Este entrenamiento fue exclusivo, por cuanto que los únicos participantes fuimos tres. (Con los requisitos de haber tomado el seminario previo de Tecnología Ferroviaria Orrientado a Metro y manejo del inglés) Por instrucciones de SYSTRA Consulting, Inc, llevamos previamente instalado el software RAILSIM en tres computadoras portátiles. Cabe mencionar que el software de simulación ferroviario RAILSIM no es un programa intuitivo e involucra muchos detalles por lo que se requiere de muchas horas de dedicación prácticas para dominarlo. Los primeros tres días de entrenamiento (del lunes 18 al 20 de julio), fueron impartidos por la facilitadora Carol Steingress, asistida por Julie Taylor, ejecutiva de licenciamiento y mercadeo. Se cubrieron los siguientes temas: Train Performance Calculator, RAILSIM Editor, Headway Calculator, Safe Braking Calculator, y Control Line Generator. Los siguientes dos días, de entrenamiento (jueves 21 y viernes 22 de julio) el facilitador Jian Guo (Gordon) Yu asistido por Brandon S. Swartley , nos entrenó en el tema de: DC Load Flow Analysis. Facilitadores Carol Steingress es Manager, de Software Testing and Support en SYSTRA Consulting, Inc. para Boston y alrededores en los Estados Unidos. Anteriormente ocupó el puesto de Project Specialist en SYSTRA Consulting, Inc. Es graduada de la University of Rhode !stand. Julie Taylor tiene el cargo de Software Licensing and Marketing Specialist y es la primera línea de contacto con SYSTRA Consulting, Inc Jian Guo (Gordon) Yu, PhD., C. Eng : Con más de 26 años de experiencia en la simulación y análisis de sistemas de tracción de potencia, el Dr. Yu, es miembro de APTA (American Pubilc Transportation Association) y se desempeña en el Foro Técnico de Potencia, Señales y Comunicaciones y el Comité de Investigación en Tecnología. Brandon Swartley: Es Assistant Chief Engineer- Electrical Engineering and Power en SYSTRA Consulting, Inc. Es de Drexel Universitv Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá Facultad de Ingeniería Eléctrica RESULTADOS OBTENIDOS (Contacto con futuros expositores, becas, firma de convenio, etc.) Se establecieron contactos estratégicos con la oficina de SYSTRA Consulting Inc.,en Lebanon New Hampshire, una de la principales empresas consultoras ferroviarias del mundo. Esto es, con el objeto de realizar futuras capacitaciones por parte de la Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá, para prepaar el recurso humano panameñor que operará, controlará y realizará el mantenimiento a Al tercer la futura linea 1 del Metro de Panamá. día, luego de cubrir los temas y ejercicios programados, realizamos preguntas y resolvimos inquietudes en torno al software y a la implementación del sistema de metro en Panamá. Al quinto día, después cubrir los temas y ejercicios programados, tuvimos la oportunidad de configurar para simulación posterior, un prototipo de tren panameño, muy similar al que va a circular próximamente en la primera línea del Metro de Panamá. Se estableció el contacto con excelentes posibles expositores que encajan apropiadamente en actividades futuras CONCLUSIONES El Dr. Rony Caballero, la Dra. Aránzazu Berbey Álvarez, y el Ing. Celso Spencer asistieron al entrenamiento en el Software Ferroviario RAILSIM8, donde se tocaron temas como: • Train perfomance calculador • Headway calculador • Control line generador • RAILSIM editor • Safe braking calculador • DC Load Flow Analyzer Se cumplieron los objetivos mas alla de las expectativas, por cuanto que recibimos un entrenamiento de 40 horas personalizado (tres participantes dos instructores) con facilitadores de amplia experiencia y reconocimiento en sus áreas de experticia. RECOMENDACIONES Es preciso incluir el entrenamiento en la compra de los software de simulación ferroviarios especializados. Esto permite grandes ahorros en el tiempo de aprendizaje y dominio de estos programas de aplicación y facilita el uso adecuado e interpretación de los resultados que arrojan los mismos. Dada la importancia de estos temas ferroviarios orientados a metro, con visión de país, debemos capacitamos con la debida antelación para poder entrenar el recurso humano panameño de manera que pueda alcanzar las competencias que se van a requerir para operar, mantener y eventualmente expandir la primera linea del Metro de Panamá, Se adjunta anexos de las actividades de capacitación correspondiente del viaje de entrenamiento y del sotfware ferroviario del simulador RAILSIM. Tambien se adjuntan copias de los certificados de los participantes. ANEXOS Dra. Aranzazu Berbey Alvarez PE-8-(117) Dr. Rony Caballero 4205-293 Ing. Celso A.
