UIC Technical Solutions for the operational railway

As the main technical body serving not only railway operators, but the entire community of railway stakeholders, including research centres and universities, UIC is a natural forum for bringing together all stakeholders and for developing collaborative global solutions.
This document, ranging from architecture to financial arrangements, provides an overview of the main achievements and developments in UIC. Depending on one’s different interests, it will give a synthetic description of operational solutions suited to market needs. It will be an efficient tool for summarising in a few pages the added value of UIC spread in different instruments and workflows:
700 leaflets describing the entire railway system (with progressive conversion to +/- 300 International Railway Solutions)
Technical Specifications
Qualitative and quantitative guidelines
118 working groups and more than 1,000 experts drawn from member companies
Regularly updated procedures, with a dedicated supervisory platform for standardisation.

Rail 2050 Vision

In this edition: 24 railways and the sector organisations CER, EIM and UIC signed the “Joint Resolution of the Chairmen of the European Rail Operators on EuropeTrain” on 5 September 2009 to speed up and improve LL brake block testing in operations.

“Process, Power, People – Energy efficiency for Railway Managers” - UIC 2008

Energy Efficiency and the reduction of CO2 emissions are crucial topics for the railways for two reasons: financial savings and political priorities. This brochure promotes best practices for saving energy on railways and outlines how this can be implemented using existing management systems. It has been prepared by ATOC on behalf of UIC. Together with the brochure we provide you with the accompanying pocket leaflet, which describes in a very catchy way energy consumption and savings for the railways.
We also offer you the possibility of translating this pocket leaflet into your language, if you would like to use it for internal communication in your company.
