These conference proceedings include a collection of articles presented at the RailExchange
conference in October 2017 at Newcastle University UK. They will be useful for researchers in
developing countries looking for opportunities of knowledge exchange. The RailExchange project
aimed to develop sustainable railway education in Thailand via international partnerships and
industry collaborations based around stakeholders' expertise and experiences. It involved staff
exchange (academics and researchers) between Mahidol and Newcastle University for joint
research and curriculum development and also organizing railway conferences and workshops in
both Thailand and the UK. The papers published here focus on rail-related issues and present a
perspective of a widely understood 'exchange' in academia and industry environments. 'Exchange'
is perceived as rail knowledge exchange between partners rail staff exchange between academia
and or industry research exchange between teams student-lecturer knowledge exchange
academia-industry collaboration etc. In addition more general rail-related papers are also
included.
