Risk based approaches for Asset inteGrity multimodal Transport Infrastructure ManagEment (RAGTIME)
Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2019,
An efficient asset management process is needed to ensure cost-effectiveness, in planning, delivery, operation and maintenance of large infrastructures or infrastructures network. Infrastructure asset management generally focuses on the later stages of a facility’s life cycle, specifically maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement. However, a process of efficient asset management must define me ...

Needs Tailored Interoperable Railway (NeTIRail-INFRA)
Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2018,
The Needs Tailored Interoperable Railway project (NeTIRail-INFRA) focuses on infrastructure challenges affecting the large number of people and the large geographical proportion of Europe (especially recent accession countries) that are served by conventional rail lines. These lines have huge potential for a step change in productivity which must be addressed to ensure economic viability. The work ...

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 ...

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 ...

Public Transportation - Accessibility for All (PubTrans4all)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
Pubtrans4all will develop a prototype vehicle-based boarding assistance system that can be built into new rail vehicles or retrofitted into existing rail vehicles to improve accessibility for all persons. Accessibility for rail vehicles is particularly problematic since rail vehicles have a long service life and so many currently inaccessible vehicles will remain in service well into the future. P ...
