The rapid development of new technologies and artificial intelligence offers the field of railway transports and not only that, a series of opportunities related to the aspects of safety, security, performance and other concerns that this sector faces. This paper presents the implications that artificial intelligence can have in railway transports and the relationship between this technology and the transport system. The implications of artificial intelligence in the field of rail transport can cover a wide range of problems that the system faces, such as: safety and security, maintenance and inspection, management and planning, driving and control of railway vehicles and, last but not least, passengers' mobility. This paper provides an overview of the role of artificial intelligence in the development of railways and what it can offer not only at the level of track maintenance, but also at the level of management and decision-making. Despite the rapid development of these new technologies, artificial intelligence research in the railway sector is still in its infancy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Within this work, the importance of organizational change and change management within railway organizations is analyzed. In today's times, changes are more and more frequent and any change can be defined as an act of creation. Reducing the time between two changes is equaled by the permanent creation of one's own creative capacity in one's own organizational structures, by the flexibility of management structures, by the permanent training of the staff in a position to ensure the increase in the speed of assimilation of the new, by the manager's degree of receptivity to changes, of the management's motivation. Change is a constant and a reality of our daily lives. Taking into account the turbulent times in which we find ourselves, the importance of change and adaptation to the new becomes a necessity for most organizations, even more so for the railway ones. In order for any change to be carried out in optimal conditions and on time, study and understanding are necessary notions regarding change management and overcoming resistance.

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the intellectual property place and role within an industrial knowledge-based organization which performs design activities. This objective will be accomplished by presenting the importance of integrating intellectual property policy implementation with the quality policy and also by setting objectives in the intellectual property field and establishing some intellectual property strategies, and improvement measures for intellectual property protection management. The basis for these activities is the correlation of the quality policy with an intellectual property policy, as well as the points of strength identified in the studied organization. Finally, the issues discussed in this scientific paper will conclude the possibility of the implementation of standards in the intellectual property field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
