Objective
Objectives: The East European rail industry is in a state of rapid transformation aimed at meeting the increasing expectations and demands of today's transport market: liberalisation, facilitation of access by traffic-users and enhanced use of public-priva te partnerships. Rail interoperability, defined as the operational and technical integration of the different national railway systems in the European Union and the accession countries, is a key element in this transformation. Its successful achievement wi ll bring a host of benefits to citizens and businesses via seamless rail connections and better coordination of operating safety rules, communication and signalling systems. As consequence of the rapid restructuring of the transportation businesses, large and experienced headcount were reduced, while atthe same time, public and private transportation operators and also the supply industry suffer under shortages in safety qualified transportation professionals. The main aim of this project is the collaborati on between Norwegian University of Science and Technology as one of the best research communities in safety management and eastern railway industry in order to transfer safety knowledgeneeded for practical deregulation of national railway state organisatio ns in terms of safety and reliability and necessary to achieve the future interoperability of national railway networks. Achievements: Transferring state-of-the-art knowledge, transforming safety research products into practical tools and applications, and capitalising on opportunities for a surface sustainable transportation, are integral parts of this proposed project. To achieve these, in addition to the joint research activities, the project will develop a plan to educate the current and future workforc e in new approaches and technologies to help improving safety and attain an efficient and sustainable integrated transport.
