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 ...

Railway Induced Vibration Abatement Solutions (RIVAS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"Ground vibration, effected by rail services, is an important environmental concern, affecting European citizens nearby any rail infrastructure. Surveys show that many Europeans are subjected to annoying levels of feelable vibration and vibration-induced noise. Although solutions are available for track in tunnels, tracks at grade are a much more extensive problem even for vibration-induced noise. ...

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 ...

ASPIS - Autonomous Surveillance in Public transport Infrastructure Systems (ASPIS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

"The present proposal aims at the development of a prototype surveillance system based on autonomous, smart monitoring devices that capture data only upon the occurrence of an incident, potentially dangerous for the pas-sengers (like an explosion blast or the triggering of the fire detector). When triggered, these devices propagate the triggering to their neighbouring de-vices and send an alarm. S ...
