国际铁路信号工程师协会发文深切缅怀宁滨院士
编者按：宁滨教授是在国际铁路信号领域非常受尊敬和喜爱的一位老师，为中国轨道交通学术科研圈与国际同行交流做出了重大贡献，9月出版的国际铁路信号工程师协会IRSE会刊专门发文深切缅怀，本号翻译以飨读者。
IRSE
铁路信号工程师协会（IRSE）是为从事或研究铁路信号、通信、列车控制、交通管理相关专业人员设立的专业性学术机构。总部设在英国伦敦。该机构成立于19，旨在为公众提供便利，确保铁路运输的安全性及高效性，推进工业通信领域及列车控制领域的科学和实践，并保持该领域的高标准专业知识及能力。该机构是国际上铁路信号领域迄今最为重要的专业机构。
IRSE中国分会
北京交通大学承办国际铁路信号工程师协会IRSE北京技术年会，此次会议上，国际铁路信号工程师协会中国分会正式成立。

宁滨教授，直到不久前还是北京交通大学（BJTU）校长，于6月14日在去参加世界交通大会的途中遭遇交通事故，发生碰撞时，他乘坐的车辆失去控制，经全力抢救无效，不幸逝世。
宁教授是国际铁路信号工程师协会IRSE的大力支持者，并筹备IRSE中国分会和在组织IRSE 北京技术年会方面发挥了重要作用。除了是IRSE的会士，他还是IEEE Fellow、英国工程技术学会（IET）会士和中国铁道学会常务理事。被评为中国工程院院士。
宁教授1959年5月生于山西稷山，1977年考入原北方交通大学即北京交通大学。1982年，他在电信与控制系留校任教，历任讲师、副教授、教授。3月起担任北京交通大学校长。1991年9月至1992年11月，曾在英国布鲁内尔大学做访问学者，2002年至期间曾在美国加州大学伯克利分校做访问学者。作为中国高速铁路“走出去”战略的坚定支持者，他还与英国约克大学、伯明翰大学和兰卡斯特大学建立了许多国际联系。
宁教授被公认为是中国高铁列车运行控制系统、城轨列车运行控制和智能交通系统领域的领军人物。在他的领导下，北京交通大学为中国高铁研制CTCS3提供了有力支撑（与ETCS 2相近的中国同类产品），轨道交通控制与安全国家重点实验室在武广高铁建设期间首次完成了不同技术源(庞巴迪与安萨尔多)高铁车载核心列控设备之间的互联互通测试。他还深度参与了北京交通大学自主研发的“基于通信的城市轨道交通CBTC系统”工作，借助发源和依托于北京交通大学的交控科技公司，该技术目前已在许多线路上成功实施并建立起中国轨道交通安全评估研究中心。
他于5月才卸任北京交通大学校长，并准备继续深耕研究事业，如他已担任北京交通大学川藏铁路研究中心主任。
许多国际铁路信号工程师协会成员都很了解宁，认为他是很好的朋友，也是他所在这个领域的真正专家。他能说一口流利的英语，和他共进晚餐总会是一次愉快而轻松的经历。这个世界失去了一个优秀的、富有感召力的工程师和管理者，一个通达善良、讨人喜欢的人。国际铁路信号工程师协会向他的家人和同事表示哀悼。他将被深切怀念。
Professor Ning Bin, until recently the president of China’s Beijing Jiaotong University (BJTU), tragically died in a road traffic accident in Beijing on the morning of 14 June . He was on his way to a One Global Rail Conference when the car he was travelling in was struck from behind and lost control. Despite the efforts of the emergency services he died later in hospital.
Prof Ning was a great supporter of the IRSE and was instrumental in the setting up of the IRSE Chinese Section and the organisation of the International Convention in Beijing. As well as being a Fellow of the IRSE, he was also a Fellow of IEEE, the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), and the China Railway Society. He was made a Fellow of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in .
Born in Jishan, Shanxi Province in May 1959, Prof Ning was admitted to Beijing Jiaotong University, formerly the Northern Jiaotong University, in 1977. In 1982, he began to teach at the Telecommunication and Control Department of the university as a lecturer, then as an associate professor, eventually becoming a professor. He advanced through several managerial and committee roles to become the president of BJTU in March . He was also a visiting research fellow at Brunel University, UK from Sept 1991, and a visiting research fellow at the University of California, Berkeley from 2002 to . As a strong supporter of Chinese High-Speed Railway’s ‘Going Global’ strategy he built many international links including strong ties with the UK’s York, Birmingham and Lancaster Universities.
Prof Ning was considered a senior expert in the areas of train operation control systems for high speed railways, urban rail transit train control and intelligent transportation systems in China. Under his leadership BJTU supported the development of CTCS3 for the Chinese high-speed network (the Chinese derivative of ETCS Level 2), and at its Key State Laboratory for Rail Traffic Control and Safety conducted the interoperability testing between Bombardier’s on-board system and the on-board system from what was then Ansaldo for the first high-speed line from Wuhan to Guangzhou, during -. He was also instrumental in BJTU’s work to develop China’s ‘home grown’ CBTC solution for metros, now in use on many lines, (through Traffic Control Technology (TCT), a company that derived from BJTU) and the Safety Assessment Research Centre (SARC).
He stepped down from the presidency of BJTU in May and was planning to once again become more involved in research. He had recently been appointed director of the Sichuan–Tibet Railway Research Center.
Many of us in the IRSE knew Ning well and considered him a friend as well as a real expert in his field. He spoke excellent English and sharing dinner with him was always a pleasant and convivial experience. The world has lost a fine and inspirational engineer and manager, and a thoroughly good and likable man. The IRSE sends its condolences to his family and colleagues. He will be sadly missed.(RodMuttram)
