Towards a REgulatory FRamework for the usE of Structural new materials in railway passenger and freight CarbOdyshells (REFRESCO)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Feb 29, 2016,
The transportation industry has for a long time been engaged in the application of new lightweight materials for primary structural design in an effort to develop more energy efficient structures to meet low emissions targets without compromising public safety.This is also true for the rail industry, but the implementation of new lightweight materials has been slow mainly due to the lack of suita ...

Railway Vehicle Dynamics and Track Interactions Total Regulatory Acceptance for the Interoperable Network (DYNOTRAIN)
Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
The certification of a rail vehicle according to European regulations, Technical Specifications for Interoperability, European Standards and national safety rules represents a significant element of both vehicle cost and time to market. Indeed, a large part of vehicle certification mandates testing for safety, performance and infrastructure compatibility. The new EN standards together with the CR/ ...

Transport Fire Safety Engineering in the European Union (TRANSFEU)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
There is an urgent need to have a confident toxicity measurement methodology that contributes to the existing level of surface transport fire safety, which is the most difficult issue to assess in case of fire. The lack of confidence in the robustness of the existing product toxicity classification forbids its acceptance as a standard which prevent the European industry from common safety rules an ...
