TE05 Enabler 5
Cost-efficient Rolling Stock system design
Project: FP6 - FutuRE (01/12/2022 - 30/11/2026)
Work Packages
Currently available work packages:
WP02 Regional Rail System Solutions/Architecture
Regional Rail System Solutions/Architecture
coordinates the work on system architecture of all WPs as well as ensuring exchange, alignment and harmonization with System Pillar and other FP projects. It will analyse the operational and functional system architecture for application on G1 lines to obtain the best and the lowest cost solution compatible with the ERTMS/ETCS specifications and for G2 lines (as interoperability is not strictly required) a simplified architecture .
This work package also focuses on the KPI assessment and on the migration strategies from the current CCS & Operation rules for the targeted regional solution.
WP05 Regional Rail Rolling Stock Requirements & Specifications
The objectives of this WP is the development of a cost efficient (CAPEX/OPEX) vehicle concept (up to 100 passenger & freight) being achieved through:
i. Concept for a novel lightweight regional vehicle with significant weight reduction;
ii. Flexible, modular solutions for vehicle interior for passenger vehicle but also applicable for goods transport in passenger vehicles;
iii. Emission free solutions for vehicles including related multimodal fuelling infrastructure concepts;
and the development of efficient and sustainable vehicle-centric Control command and signalling solution for G2 lines (not strictly interoperable).
WP07 Preparation for Regional Rail Integrated Demonstrators
The objective of this WP is to perform preparatory actions for
i. demonstrations of the feasibility of proposed technical solutions defined in the demonstration WPs and
ii. preparatory work for fully integrated demonstrators under operational conditions in the following projects for regional rail services up to TRL8 during the ER JU program period.
In addition, this WP will collect the preparatory works in digital environments to accomplish intermediate state demonstrators at component/subsystem or system level.
WP10 Regional Rail Rolling Stock Demonstrations
Based on the findings of WP5, this WP will carry out the demonstration activities of the following technical enablers:
i. Develop a lightweight, emission free vehicle concept (up to TRL3) in close interaction with FP4 project
ii. Development of a concept of multimodal fuelling station (up to TRL3)
iii. Develop a SIL4 Demonstrations of CCS for Group 2 lines (TRL4/5) considering technology enabler Cost-effective fail-safe highly accurate train positioning and fail-safe interlocking/RBC
