Project description
Validation of new technologies for the next generation train control and monitoring system
In 2018, 8 billion passengers travelled on national railway networks in the EU, with international travel representing less than 8 % of the total. Passenger transport by rail continues to grow, and the EU is investing in programmes to enhance performance, reliability and safety while reducing environmental impact. The EU-funded CONNECTA-3 project will advance the readiness of the next generation train control and monitoring system, an on-train distributed control system acting as a single point of control for all train subsystems, which will be connected using a common bus able to reliably mix different critical applications. The project will also develop the simulation framework required to evaluate certification readiness.
Objective
Continuation project of CONNECTA-2 (GA 826098) which targets the high TRL deployment and validation in two relevant laboratory
demonstrators and field tests for urban and regional scenarios of the following technologies:
- Wireless TCMS, including wireless train backbone, wireless consist network and standardized train-to-ground according to IEC 61375-2-6.
- NG-TCN including high safe (SIL4) communication networks to support the drive-by-data concept, including brake-by-wire.
- Functional Open Coupling (FOC)
- Functional Distribution Framework (FDF) instantiated with two different approaches (modified AUTOSAR and selfimplemented
on top of specific operating system), together with relevant application profiles.
- The virtual certification simulatiom framework, with hardware-in-the-loop and remote connectivity to subsystems
The goal is to reach TRL6/7 in most developments.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
