Development of a robust cost-effective collision awareness and avoidance system for ground support equipment operating on the airport ramp (RAMPAWARE)
Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
Even without taking into account expected increases in airport capacity, ground handling crews responsible for aircraft turnaround are already operating under time constraints and in highly congested areas, often in difficult weather conditions. The outcome is damage on an extraordinary scale, to the hugely expensive aircraft they are servicing. The direct cost of ground accidents involving Ground ...

In-Line Service For Internal Inspection Of Unpiggable Buried Oil Pipelines Using Long Range Ultrasound Guided Waves In Fifty Metre Segments (PIGWAVES)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
This proposal will aim to develop the enabling technology that will enable existing pipe crawling robots (pigs) to provide internal inspection of pipe walls using long range ultrasound guided waves (LRUG) deployed in pipe segments of about fifty metre length.The aim is to perform total volume inspection far more rapidly, accurately and cheaply than is presently achieved with magnetic and ultrasoni ...

Ash Ingestion Detection Apparatus for aircraft (AIDA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
Aircraft frequently encounter volcanic ash when airborne. In the aftermath of these encounters, virtually the entire fuselage of an aircraft can be contaminated with ash, necessitating a thorough cleaning of the cockpit, instrument panel, circuit breaker panels, passenger and baggage compartments. The electrical and avionics units can be so heavily contaminated that complete replacement is necessa ...

Detection of kissing bonds in friction stir welds in aero structures (StirScan)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2014,
The proposed StirScan project will develop a NDT system in order to address the challenging problem of detecting kissing bonds in Friction Stir Welds (FSW). FSW is a relatively new joining technique for aluminium alloys which offers good joint performance and excellent reproducibility – this is of significant interest to the aerospace sector, where fatigue performance is particular crucial. Howeve ...

High Power Transmission Line Cable Inspection (CHAPLIN)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2014,
There are many thousands of miles of high power line transmission cables dispersed around Europe. Some are installed in remote areas where it’s difficult to serve. Furthermore, line cables operate in severe conditions. The cables are subject to many environmental and operation factors such as moisture, voltage stress, omitting jacking and structural imperfections.These factors are the main reasons ...

In-situ wireless monitoring of on - and offshore WINd TURbine blades using energy harvesting technology - Demonstration (WINTUR DEMO)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
"WINTUR Demonstration Project will demonstrate the structural health monitoring (SHM) system that was developed successfully in the WinTur R4S project, in order to show that such a system is viable for blade monitoring and can help the wind sector to achieve the kind of energy delivery to business and communities that is desired by reducing operational and maintenance costs. This will be achieved ...

European Network of FP7 Science in Society NCPs (EuroSiS 2.0)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2011,
The range of the 7th Framework Programme’s (FP7) Science in Society (SiS) programme as well as the range of its stakeholders is extremely diverse. This demands that the SiS National Contact Points (NCPs) are able to orientate in the wide area of SiS topics and research areas as well as FP7 rules and regulations in order to be able to fulfil their job.The cooperation among NCPs in FP7 and the coope ...

Tracking and Security System with Built-in Energy Generation for Containers (TrackBoCs)
Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2011,
Approximately 90% of the world’s cargo moves in containers and there are 15 million shipping-containers in circulation which provide for approximately 250 million moves per year. More than 60 million containers are handled in the main EU ports alone. These containers are forwarded by rail, sea or road transport. The transport sector provides more than ten million jobs and generates 10% of EU wealt ...
