Description of programme "Shift2Rail " | Shift2Rail fosters the introduction of better trains
to the market, which operate on an innovative rail network infrastructure at a lower life-cycle cost, with more capacity to
cope with growing passenger and freight mobility demand. All this are developed by European companies, thereby increasing
their competitiveness in the global marketplace. Shift2Rail also contributes to the paradigm for the modal shift to attract
users to rail. For EU passengers, this represents more travel options, more comfort and improved punctuality. For freight
forwarder/shippers, rail freight offers a more cost-effective, punctual and traceable shipment option.

Analysis for Moving Block and implementation of Virtual Coupling concept |
Description of call "Analysis for Moving Block and implementation of Virtual Coupling concept" |
Moving Block is one of the most advanced Train Separation systems. With its effective technologies it increases line capacity by
reducing the trackside life cycle costs due to less train detection systems to be installed. The challenge is to boost innovative
and cost-efficient technologies and systems for railway signalling while, at the same time, achieving a level of safety consistent
with methods and standards to be applicable in all railway segments. The aim of this project should be to identify and assess
the suitable methodology to bring Moving Block into service and to analyse the potential business and market response. |
