Space Thermoacoustic Radio-Isotopic Power System (Space TRIPS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
The project relates to an advanced thermal to electric conversion for radio-isotopic power systems (RPS). Indeed RPSs are a key for space exploration as the solar power is very low in deep space, notably in Jupiter orbit and beyond. These systems will be also useful for Mars exploration, where solar power is subject to nights and dust storms.So Europe aims to get its independence for such missions ...

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 ...

Modular Urban Transport Safety and Security Analysis (MODSafe)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
The European Urban Guided Transport sector (Light rails, Metros, but also Tramways and Regional Commuter trains) is still characterized by a highly diversified landscape of Safety Requirements, Safety Models, Responsibilities, Roles, Safety Approval, Acceptance and Certification Schemes. While a certain convergence in architectures and systems can be observed the safety life cycle still differs f ...
