GoSAFE RAIL – Global Safety Management Framework for RAIL Operations (GoSAFE RAIL)
Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2019,
The GoSAFE RAIL project will be transformative for asset safety in the rail sector. It will bring together inter-disciplinary experts from Risk based asset assessment of infrastructure, Artificial Intelligence (AI), object detection and data management sectors with leaders in network micro-simulation modelling to deliver a Decision Support Tool that will allow a step change for infrastructure safe ...

Decision Support Tool for Rail Infrastructure Managers (DESTinationRAIL)
Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2018,
The project provides solutions for common infrastructure problems encountered in diverse regions of Europe, e.g. deterioration and scour damage to bridges, slope instability, damage to switches and crossings and track performance. Whilst similar failure modes are seen around the EU, the triggers (precipitation, earthquake loading etc.) are regional. The DESTination RAIL project will develop manage ...

Risk Analysis of Infrastructure Networks in response to extreme weather (RAIN)
Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2017,
The RAIN vision is to provide an operational analysis framework that identifies critical infrastructure components impacted by extreme weather events and minimise the impact of these events on the EU infrastructure network. The project has a core focus on land based infrastructure with a much wider consideration of the ancillary infrastructure network in order to identify cascading and inter-relat ...

Novel Indicators for identifying critical INFRAstructure at RISK from natural hazards (INFRARISK)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
"The achievements of the European Union targets regarding energy and socio-economic sustainability are highly dependent on the way risks and vulnerabilities of European operating infrastructure networks and critical assets are minimised against natural extreme events. The INFRARISK project will develop reliable stress tests on European critical infrastructure using integrated modelling tools for ...

Long Life Bridges
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
Bridges, like many Civil Engineering products, are designed quite conservatively. For older bridges, this conservatism is very expensive – there is a great difference between the cost of strengthening an existing bridge and not doing so. Very often it is possible to prove that a bridge is perfectly safe even when it is old and has deteriorated since it was first built. Sometimes the deterioration ...

Bridge Safety Monitoring (BRIDGEMON)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2014,
Much of the world’s bridges are old and need to be periodically repaired or replaced. However, premature replacement wastes money and non-renewable resources. BridgeMon is led by three SMEs who are working to extend the lives of existing bridges. They will develop bridge monitoring technologies to prove they are safe and can be kept in service for longer, thus ensuring more sustainable road asset ...

Smart Maintenance and Analysis of Transport Infrastructure (SMART RAIL)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
Europe needs a safe and cost effective transport network to encourage movement of goods and people within the EU and towards major markets in the East. This is central to European transport, economic and environmental policy. Many parts of Europe’s rail network were constructed in the mid 19th century long before the advent of modern construction standards. Historic levels of low investment, poor ...
