Description du projet
L’industrie ferroviaire gagne du terrain
L’Europe est sur la bonne voie pour atteindre ses objectifs en matière d’économies de ressources et de compétitivité du secteur ferroviaire, grâce à l’innovation et aux avancées d’ordre politique. La Commission européenne ouvre la voie à la création d’un espace ferroviaire européen unique grâce à d’importants investissements dans les infrastructures ferroviaires. Le projet TER4RAIL, financé par l’UE, rassemblera les acteurs du secteur ferroviaire et identifiera de nouvelles opportunités de recherche innovante. Il facilitera également la fertilisation croisée des connaissances provenant d’autres disciplines, au sein de ce qui a été baptisé l’Observatoire de recherche ferroviaire innovant. Son objectif est de sélectionner, de résumer et de diffuser l’information. Globalement, l’ambition consiste à devenir la référence en tant que projet d’action de coordination et de soutien pour l’évolution des chemins de fer.
Objectif
The Shift2Rail Multi Annual Action Plan (MAAP) will play a central role in the establishment of future interoperable railway systems suitable for European society and environment. However, it is necessary to be aware of the novel possibilities that can enable an increasingly sustainable progress in this regard.
TER4RAIL will identify and monitor new opportunities for innovative research and facilitate the cross-fertilisation of knowledge from other disciplines, at what is referred to as the Rail Innovative Research Observatory. Permanent contact with other relevant sectors will have a prominent role in importing disruptive perspectives from other disciplines and facilitating interactions.
TER4RAIL will determine and assess the existing roadmaps that drive the future of railways and compare them with the interpretations obtained from the observatory. This analysis will indicate the gaps that require to be covered and serve as the anchor for the prospective roadmaps.
TER4RAIL considers railways as the backbone of future European mobility, as stated in the rail sector’s European Railway Research Advisory Council’s (ERRAC) Rail 2050 Vision published in December 2017, and therefore, it is necessary that TER4RAIL raise arguments that can sustain this essential system. To that end, data analysis and statistical reporting are foreseen and conducted.
Finally, the work performed under TER4RAIL will be communicated to the transport community, liaising with the Shift2Rail communication team with a correlated communication strategy. A strategy of exploitation of the results will guarantee that these are properly employed in this area with maximum impact.
TER4RAIL will be able to select and synthetize a considerable amount of information regarding railways’ futures and transmit them in a consolidated, improved, clear, and understandable manner. This should facilitate the realisation of TER4RAIL’s ambition of being the CSA of reference for the evolution of EU railways.
