Flagship Area 3

Intelligent and integrated asset management

A holistic and integrated asset management for rail infrastructure and rolling stock contributes to reducing infrastructure and rolling stock life cycle costs and improving reliability and efficiency of construction and maintenance. Technological solutions and methods are to be developed that reduce asset life cycle costs while ensuring safety and safeguarding the reliability and capacity of infrastructure and rolling stock.

FP3 develops innovative solutions and methods towards ds predictive maintenance and intelligent system integration. To this end, it develops on-board and trackside monitoring and inspection systems, defines use cases, requirements and standards, carries out demonstrations using digital twins and enables the development of environmentally, user and employee-friendly railway systems.

Projects in this Flagship Area

Flagship Area 3 Project - IAM4RAIL

The FP3-IAM4RAIL project focuses on seven different integrated demonstrators for rail assets which are key for research and innovation in the rail sector. Integrating asset condition information obtained via advanced monitoring with decision-making tools and into the traffic management system. The project will combine available information with artificial intelligence and digital twins are covered as key topics through a European cross-border, interoperable and holistic integrated approach. Other topics such as interventions using technologies as robotics or additive manufacturing are seen as relevant for improving asset management in the rail sector.
