New trends for European Railways Research



The white paper: Time to decide

1/Shifting the balance between modes of transport

Revitalising the railways

2/Eliminating Bottlenecks

Multimodal corridors with priority for freight

3/Placing users at the heart of transport policy

Rationalising urban transport

4/ Managing the globalisation of transport

The opportunity offered by a well developed rail network




Ambitious targets defined by the white paper are not reachable without successes in gaps

Research and innovative products and services development are the only way




The white paper specifies the targets defined by public authorities:

- European Parliament

- State members



ERRAC

The actors of the Raimway sector:

- UIC

- UITP

- UNIFE

Proposed to built a Research and Development program in order to fulfill the White paper requirements

To set up this program: ERRAC



ERRAC

European Rail Research Advisory Committee

Members:

-European Commission DG Research, Tren, Enterprise

- Members States

- UIC; UITP; UNIFE



ERRAC

Drafted two main documents:

- Strategic Rail Research Agenda 2020, first report

- SRRA Technical annex



ERRAC SRRA some figures for 2020:

Passengers : growth 40% rail marketshare 12%

rail Passenger-km x 3

Freight : growth 70% rail marketshare 15 %

rail freight tons-km x 3.5



ERRAC SRRA for 2020:

Key priority themes identified:

- interoperability

- intelligent mobility

- safety and security

- environment

- innovative materials and production methods




For each priority theme:

5 research areas defined with associated roadmaps:

-explanation of the research area

-expectations if successfully implemented

-impact on scenario 2020

-constraints to be removed




These reports (SRRA and technical annex) where agreed by all actors, States Members and European Commision representatives in ERRAC plenary meeting

and signed by

EC DG Research Commisionner Mr Busquin

The Chairmen of associated bodies

.




SRRA and technical annex:

The reference for 6th PCRD

- all themes defined are included in the 6th program

- themes which are not in the SRRA are not eligible

The reference for national R&D programs:

D, F, UK, A, Sp, It,… Research and Transport

autorities declared to be tied by SRRA.

-.



ERRAC SRRA for 2020 Technical annex

ERRAC next steps:

-SRRA revised, taking in account

works ordered (6th PCRD)

actual situation 2005

-priority themes for 7th PCRD and national programs

-.



Some accompanying measures:

-Samnet : safety

common methods and common targets

-Eurnex :

means and tools for rail research;

knowledge

tests

-.



Rail research and development in NPdC:

-Samnet-Eurnex-The test center-« Le pole de compétitivité »-Active participation in 7th PCRD themes

-.
