Project description DEENESFRITPL Designing safe and robust train control and monitoring systems The EU-funded Safe4RAIL-2 project is working on next-generation train control and monitoring system (TCMS) solutions. The aim is to define new train standards and pave the way for deterministic, secure and interoperable connections while increasing TCMS efficiency and safety. All technological concepts will be further validated in two laboratory demonstrators in a complementary project. The project's activities will help increase the flexibility and reliability of TCMS communications and reduce development and maintenance costs. The project consortium consists of six industrial partners, one research institution and one academic partner from five European countries. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Safe4RAIL-2 and its activities will be based on the development of four technological pillars aimed at improving the capabilities of the TCMS:(1) Integration of the Drive-by-Data (DbD) concept in the train network, i.e. Ethernet Train Backbone Nodes (ETBN), Car Switches and End Devices, using Time-Sensitive Network (TSN) technology for adding determinism to TCMS communications.(2) Development of LTE devices suitable for the deployment of a Wireless Train Backbone (WLTB), along with analyses including wireless consist communications, virtual coupling and 5G technology.(3) Integration of a Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) functionality on top of an Integrated Modular Platform (IMP) made up of a Functional Distribution Framework (FDF) platform and a Drive-by-Data communication layer, taking advantage of the expertise obtained from automotive industry specialized on AUTOSAR.(4) Integration of HVAC functionality in a virtual certification simulation environment including remote Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) tests.All these technological developments will be further validated in two laboratory demonstrators that will be set up by the Shift2Rail CFM project (S2R-CFM-IP1-02-2018), and will also contribute to standardization in both railway and wireless domains.These results will increase the flexibility and reliability of the TCMS communications, reduce development and maintenance costs, and achieve novel train functionalities, paying special attention to manufacturer interoperability and the availability of multiple sources.The consortium consists of 8 partners with specific industrial profiles and expertise in key technologies from five European countries, including 6 industrial partners (SMEs and large companies), 1 research institution and 1 academic partner. Such an industry-oriented consortium has been considered crucial to bring the selected technologies to higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) up to TRL-5.
