Zero Emission bUs Systems (ZEEUS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

Electrification of the public transport is a raising trend in Europe, and electric buses are soon expected to enter markets as one of the most interesting options for matching urban environmental targets. Electrification is driven by both economics and politics. However, although technology is not yet fully matured and ready for wide commercialisation, a large demonstration project will facilitat ...

Next Generation Train Control (NGTC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

The main scope of this Next Generation Train Control (NGTC) project is to analyse the commonality and differences of required functionality for mainline and urban lines and develop the convergence of both ETCS and CBTC systems, determining the level of commonality of architecture, hardware platforms, and system design that can be achieved. This will be accomplished by building on the experience of ...

Optimal Strategy to Innovate and Reduce energy consumption In urban rail Systems (OSIRIS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

"For many transport modes, energy reduction strategies can be effectively formulated at the level of the vehicle or vessel. New technologies can therefore be introduced to a vehicle and the direct energy savings can be readily quantified. However, such approach is not suitable to be employed for urban rail, where it is not sufficient to consider only the energy performance of vehicles; the energy ...

European Railway Electromagnetic Compatibility (EUREMCO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

The current authorisation process for placing into service rail vehicles according to Technical Specifications for Interoperability and national safety rules is a very long and costly process. The Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI) provide common regulations for the placing in service of rail vehicle, when such common understanding and harmonized rules exist. This is not the case ...

Virtual certification of acoustic performance for freight and passenger trains (ACOUTRAIN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

ACOUTRAIN will simplify and improve the acoustic certification process of new rolling stock, in particular relating to the TSI Noise. Today the need of conformity assessment for a new vehicle according to the TSI Noise represents a significant element of both cost and time to market due to the need to carry out expensive and time consuming tests. The goal of the proposed project is to speed up the ...
