Innovative Product for train door condition monitoring based on vibration analysis algorithms (VA-RCM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

It is crucial to reduce rail operational costs as well as increasing the reliability of service especially in terms of punctuality. Train doors prove to be a critical element with respect to both maintenance cost and cause of train delays. Door actuator defects are the most common found; especially in older trains where door malfunctions amount to 25%-50% of the rolling stock defects. To overcome ...

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 ...

Sustainable Energy mAnageMent for Underground Stations (SEAM4US)

Start date: Oct 3, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

Underground transportation systems are big energy consumers (e.g. 63,1 millions of kWh / year), and have significant impacts on energy consumption at a regional scale. One third of the networks' energy is required for operating the subsystems of metro stations and surroundings, such as ventilation, vertical transportation and lightning. Although a relatively small percentage of energy can be saved ...

Modular Urban Transport Safety and Security Analysis (MODSafe)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

The European Urban Guided Transport sector (Light rails, Metros, but also Tramways and Regional Commuter trains) is still characterized by a highly diversified landscape of Safety Requirements, Safety Models, Responsibilities, Roles, Safety Approval, Acceptance and Certification Schemes. While a certain convergence in architectures and systems can be observed the safety life cycle still differs f ...
