European Railway Electromagnetic Compatibility (EUREMCO)

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

The current authorisation process for placing into service rail vehicles according to Technical Specifications for Interoperability and national safety rules is a very long and costly process. The Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI) provide common regulations for the placing in service of rail vehicle, when such common understanding and harmonized rules exist. This is not the case ...

Network of European – Asian Rail Research capacities (NEAR2)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

The rapid development of Asian economies, particularly China, India and Russia has dramatically increased the trade volumes between Europe and Asia, with the largest trading partners of Europe actually being located in Asia. Nowadays, the most important trade loads are being transported between the two continents by sea. Railway transport, using the existing and new land routes for the Trans-Euras ...

Reduction of Suicides and Trespasses on RAILway property (RESTRAIL)

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

The aim of the RESTRAIL project is to reduce the occurrence of suicides and trespasses on railway property and the costly service disruption these events cause, by providing the rail industry with an analysis and identification of cost-effective prevention and mitigation measures.The project starts by identifying the state of the art of best practices and research findings (inside and outside Euro ...

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 ...

The Railway-Industry Partnership for Integrated Security of Rail Transport (PROTECTRAIL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

Facing the problem of enhancing the railway security with a systematic top-down approach (i.e. to search for an all-inclusive solution valid for all the conceivable threat scenarios) is judged by PROTECTRAIL members too ambitious even if it could generate potential economies of scale and effort rationalisation. The proposed PROTECTRAIL approach is therefore to split the problem of making the railw ...

Attenuation of ground-borne vibration affecting residents near freight railway lines (CARGOVIBES)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"As pointed out in the White paper for European transport the aim of the European rail operators is to increase the market share of goods traffic from 8 % in 2001 to 15 % in 2020. The nightly time slots will play an important in this. Railway vibration annoyance and sleep disturbance in residential areas is a potential show stopper for this increase.Therefore the aim of Cargovibes is to develop a ...

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 ...
