The sustainable freight railway: Designing the freight vehicle – track system for higher delivered tonnage with improved availability at reduced cost (SUSTRAIL)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2015,

"A sustainable and efficient freight transport in Europe plays a vital role in having a successful and competitive economy. Freight transport is expected to grow by some 50 % (in tonne-kilometres) by 2020. However rail has, in many areas, been displaced from a dominant position as road transport services have grown and developed in capability and levels of sophistication that have not been matche ...

Development of high-performance barrels with innovative gradient coatings (DEBACOAT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

A large amount of plastic raw material is processed by screw extrusion and by screw injection moulding techniques. The degree of equipment wear for these techniques represents one of the issues of greater concern since it determines the economic feasibility of processing, especially in view of increasing filler content of plastics, processing temperatures and throughputs of plants.The main objecti ...

Innovative proactive Quality Control system for in-process multi-stage defect reduction (MuProD)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

This project aims at developing an innovative Quality Control System that will drastically change the current concept of End Of Line quality control, going beyond currently established methodologies such as Six-sigma and SPC. It will prevent the generation of defects within the process at single stage and the propagation of defects between processes at multi-stage system level. This Quality Contro ...

Development of the Future Rail Freight System to Reduce the Occurrences and Impact of Derailment (D-RAIL)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

D-RAIL will focus on freight traffic, identifying root causes of derailment of particular significance to freight vehicles, which have a wider range of operating parameters (as a result of the huge range in loads, speeds and maintenance quality) than passenger vehicles. One key question that will be studied is how independent minor faults (e.g., a slight track twist and a failing bearing) could co ...

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/ ...

Whole Life Rail Axle Assessment and Improvement (Wolaxim)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Axles for railway trains are carefully engineered and high value items that are designed to last 20 years or more. There is however a current trend for axles to be withdrawn from service before this because of corrosion on the surface long before their design lives. The decision to withdraw from service is taken without the full knowledge of the way in which the failure will result from corrosion, ...

PANTOgraph and catenary interaction Total Regulatory Acceptance for the Interoperable Network (PANTOTRAIN)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2012,

"The current interoperability approval process for new High Speed and Conventional railway vehicles in Europe is a very long and costly process. The Technical Specifications for Interoperability provide common regulations for the homologation of new rolling stock but do not directly eliminate the current burdens regarding new vehicle approval on each network. In this context, the pantograph/catena ...
