iPerm: Guided wave monitoring tool (iPerm)
Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2018,
Today, there are more than 40 major transnational oil and gas pipelines traversing Europe, accounting for over 34,565 km of strategically critical pipeline infrastructure, 40% of which are over 40 years old and subject to corrosion induced catastrophic failures impacting negatively upon European society and its economy. With such an extensive and growing network of pipelines, and a corollary incre ...

Long Range Ultrasonic Inspection of Aircraft Wiring (SAFEWIRE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
Defects in the electric wiring in aircraft have led to serious accidents. Cases in point were the losses of TWA Flight 800 in July 1996 and Swissair Flight 111 September 1998, in both of which ~ 230 people died. Experts investigating almost three decades of international aviation incidents between 1972 and 2000 found more than 400 wire related incidents. The Ageing Transport Systems Rulemaking Adv ...

Transmissions in Aircraft on Unique Path wirEs (TAUPE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,
"The technologies for power and data transmissions over unique path wires are strongly developed. The OPERA project made feasible High Speed/High Voltage transmissions for Power Line Communication. The U-Broad project demonstrated that Fast Ethernet (100 Mb/s) can be provided over existing telephone network cabling. But, even if these technologies have been rapidly exploited in the automotive sect ...
