Workshop highlights:
- New slab track concepts
- New concepts for high speed
- Materials and monitoring for innovative Switches and Crossings
- Innovative wagons for freight
- Optimisation of terminal operations
- Ubiquitous data for railway operations
- Innovative sensors and monitoring strategies
- Multicriteria assessment strategy
- Recommendations on how the project’s vision for the Railway System of 2050 may be achieved

NeTIRail-INFRA
Needs Tailored Interoperable Railway Infrastructure
The conference will update partners on the progress made during the first 18 months of the project, presenting some of the early results and the plans for the remainder of the project, as well as holding discussions regarding future developments and collaboration.
Highlights of the conference will include:
- Sensing and measurement technology – an update on the installation of the on-vehicle, track side and overhead line monitoring systems in Romania, Turkey and Slovenia
- The results of the GIS mapping of track and overhead line failures and costs
- The development of track models to find ways of minimising corrugation development and transition zone maintenance
- Lean improvement of S&C maintenance operations and installation
- The development of overhead line models leading to minimised life cycle costs of overhead lines for different railway systems
- Use of the SATLOC system for data transmission from on-vehicle monitoring systems
- An update on the development of the decision support tool
The conference also intends to address the commonalities between the NeTIRail-INFRA project and the Shift2Rail programme, and identify areas for further collaboration.
