Work Packages
Currently available work packages:
WP15 Use of DT Technologies for assets management: implementation and demonstration
In coordination with WP14, the objective of this work package is to develop methods to exploit Digital Twin (DT) potential to improve reliability, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of key asset management tasks, focusing on the development of the Integrated Demonstrator, targeted at TRL7, and validation of the demonstrator.
WP16 Sustainable and cost-efficient eco-design for rail assets
To respond to current challenges (particularly climate issues) new solutions for a more sustainable railway system with improved performance and capacity must emerge. Therefore, this WP will focus on extending the lifespan of infrastructure subsystems across Europe that are limited by single components. The WP is aimed at lowering the overall maintenance downtimes of track and turnout systems while increasing the availability of the rail lines. In addition, life cycle cost of assets is simultaneously reduced.
WP17 Repair metallic assets and spare parts for vehicles using Additive Manufacturing
The aim of the work described in this WP is to apply novel Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies to address fundamental issues which limit the lifetime of railway metallic components and spare part management (e.g., new reparation methods to extend the life cycle of assets, and new manufacturing techniques for spare parts of key assets). The use of AM for railway maintenance is demonstrated in the following applications: manufacturing of spare parts, repair of infrastructure and rolling stock and a digital warehouse for spare parts.
