Research into enhanced track and switch and crossing system 2

Deliverables

Final summary report compiling major results, needs for further research in planned project and plan for implementation. Report will be divided into two parts Tunnels and Bridges. Each task above will have a dedicated chapter and subtask leaders will be responsible for reporting of associated work, results and next actions. For this deliverable, the GAP analysis of IN2TRACK will be included.This deliverable will also include:oReview of the existing load models for design and classification of bridges, will be done to some extent as new approach is likely to be developedoA proposal for dynamic load models which cover existing rolling stock depending on speed, axle load and axle arrangement or speed and line category according to EN 15528 5.5.3

Rail Profiling Improvement - The Evaluation of Superabrasive Grinding

This deliverable will compare superabrasive rail grinding with conventional grinding in a relevant but controlled environment. The report will build upon the work reported in D3.3 Chapter 5.1.6 to cover the design, construction and use of a test facility to evaluate rail grinding performance. Trials will be designed to capture information on grinding quality and efficiency to allow a comparison between rail grinding methods.

Dissemination and exploitation plan for IN2TRACK2

Report defining the project dissemination communication and exploitation strategies including the events and conferences to be targeted for dissemination opportunities This deliverable will include a first report of task84 activities

Next generation track

Report to describe the research carried out into track design, installation, maintenance and monitoring of next generation track solutions. Recommendations will also be made for continuation of work into AWP20. The report will include a gap analysis of IN2TRACK results.

Integration Final Report

Report defining the final outcomes of the integrated demonstrators and possible route to market This will include a consolidation of outputs from WPs This deliverable will include the planning and implementation of demo plans

Enhancements to Switch and Crossing System Demonstrated

Final summary report compiled from major results and further research efforts necessary to complete WP1. The report will be structured according to the tasks in the WP, while each task leader and subtask leader will be responsible for contributing to the report. The report will reflect the indivisible nature of all necessary tasks to develop, install, operate and access a demonstrator, although they are divided in the WP for the reason of manageability. The report will include a gap analysis of IN2TRACK results

Report: Track and Track Component Maintenance and Asset Management

This deliverable will summarise all progress and final results for WP3 for task T3.4, T3.5 and T3.6 concerning the track and track component requirements in terms of maintenance and asset management. This report includes the maintenance actions that include tasks T3.4, T3.5 and T3.6. Detailed descriptions of all simulations and demonstrations performed will also be included. It will also show what TRL level has been reached. It will show what was generated in this WP, the result from this and who has contributed to the results (broken down into activities). Furthermore, it will show how these results meet the KPIs which were defined for this WP. The report shall include what needs to continue to the work to reach TRL6 and propose further research work.

Next Generation Switches & Crossings

Deliverable D2.2 will present the detailed next generation switch and crossing technology developments and prototypes (virtual and physical) at component, sub-system and system level. Plans for delivering the final TD3.2 system demonstrator will also be presented alongside recommendations for further work within AWP20 [up to TRL6]. The report will include a gap analysis of IN2TRACK results.

Creation of communications materials to support the JU’s communications strategy

Communications and Marketing plan implementation and creation of materials to raise the profile of IN2TRACK2 and the SHIFT2RAIL JU which may include newsletters, presentations, social media accounts and videos.

Mid-term Integration Plan

Report summarising the mid-term system integration achievements, activity, relationships, demonstrators and further foreseen development. Plan to be produced to map how the integrated demonstrator will be delivered including interface with relevant Open Calls.

Dissemination and Exploitation activities

Report summarising the results/impacts of all the dissemination, communication and exploitation activities. This report will contain a complete summary of task 8.4 activities and achievements.
