A Joint Research Project funded under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission Step Change

A Joint Research Project funded under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission A Summary

A Joint Research Project funded under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission Outputs at 18 month Stage  Technical deliverables to date: - D1.1 - Market and customer requirements for planning and scheduling, faster maintenance and faster inspection - D1.2 - Description of demonstration scenarios and evaluation criteria - D2.1 - High level breakdown of maintenance activities - D2.2 - Outline for lean process: specifications and opportunities All available from the AUTOMAIN website

A Joint Research Project funded under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission Outputs in the Next Period: High Speed Inspection  D3.1 - In-service inspection measurement algorithms (due July 2013)  D3.2 - Potential for self inspecting infrastructure (due August 2013)

A Joint Research Project funded under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission Outputs in the Next Period: High Speed Maintenance  D4.1 - Improvements in high speed maintenance and modular infrastructure (due July 2013)  D4.2 - Optimised maintenance activities, like grinding, tamping and maintenance process (due July 2013)

A Joint Research Project funded under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission Outputs in the Next Period: Planning & Scheduling  D4.1 - Planning and scheduling tool for optimised maintenance (due January 2013)  D4.2 - Tool in operation for demonstration of results WP 3&4 (due January 2014)

A Joint Research Project funded under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission Demonstrations  Two demonstrations….  Demonstration 1 - In-service track monitoring using an in-service vehicle  Demonstration 2 - Modular, self inspecting switch  The demonstration will be evaluated against the evaluation criteria set by WP1

A Joint Research Project funded under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission In-service Track Monitoring Using an In-service Vehicle  Demonstration 1 will be demonstrated from: - Rotterdam to Dillingen (led by DB) - London to Brighton (led by Birmingham)

A Joint Research Project funded under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission Modular, Self Inspecting Switch  Demonstration 2 will split into subsystem: - The Netherlands (led by Strukton) - Sweden (led by Trafikverket) - Laboratory based (led by Birmingham)

A Joint Research Project funded under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission Opportunities to Get Involved  This research project aims to help the industry as a whole, not just the project partners….  The core research team is set by the funding contract, however, there are opportunities to get involved  Dissemination events  Visiting the website  Feedback on outputs  Advisory group  Supporting
