During the project, the deployment and validation of NG-TCMS specifications were successfully achieved with an overall TRL4/5 for prototypes, as well as the update of specifications with missing/improved parts.
Continuing the standardisation activities initiated in CONNECTA-1 project, a set of technical recommendations and standardisation proposals have been delivered from CONNECTA-2 project. It must be highlighted the participation in standardisation activities with IEC TC9 WG43, as well as the valuable input provided for ERA TWG On-board Modular Architecture for TSI 2022.
Furthermore, CONNECTA-2 has been fully integrated in the structure of Shift2Rail IPs, sharing knowledge and expertise with other on-going actions like X2Rail-1, X2Rail-2, X2Rail-3, Safe4RAIL-2, IMPACT-2, PLASA-2, MOVINGRAIL, FLEX-RAIL and LinX4Rail.
Last but not least, CONNECTA-2 in this RP2 has organised the second meeting of the Advisory Board and the Final event. Additionally, CONNECTA-2 has released the second newsletter of the project and a final dissemination video (available in the website) to achieve bigger audience. Regarding the technical dissemination, CONNECTA-2 has participated along the project with up to 11 conference papers to different conferences (i.e. WCRR2019, TRA2020, 5GWF, EuCAP, ISDIN and WCRR2022)
In order to address these actions, the dedicated WP7 has promoted the active collaboration of all partners, coordinating and handling the dissemination of CONNECTA-2 results during the project lifetime. This included the elaboration of newsletters and brochures, the publication and participation in international conferences, the creation of a dissemination video, the organization of dissemination conferences, the interaction with external experts through Advisory Board meetings, as well as the direct participation in standardization and regulatory bodies.
