Intelligent reliable infrastructure, better system resilience and a reduced need for maintenance
An advanced traffic management system: automated, interoperable, inter-connected, scalable and upgradable
Improving the energy performance of the railway system

Innovative Intelligent Rail

The In2Rail project is to set the foundations for a resilient, consistent, cost-efficient, high capacity European network by delivering important building blocks that unlock the innovation potential that exists in Shift2Rail: innovative technologies will be explored and resulting concepts embedded in a systems framework where infrastructure, information management, maintenance techniques, energy, and engineering are integrated, optimised, shared and exploited.

Paper ‘’Hybrid model for prediction of impact noise generated at railway crossings’’ presented during the 12th International Workshop on Railway Noise (IWRN12) 30 May 2017 A hybrid model for the prediction of impact noise at railway crossings is presented. The hybrid model combines the simulation of vertical wheel?rail contact force in the time domain and the prediction of sound pressure level using a linear frequency-domain model. The time-domain model uses moving ...

In2Rail paper on ‘’Advanced Analytics for Train Delay Prediction Systems by Including Exogenous Weather Data’’ presented at IEEE International Conference on Data Science and Advanced Analytics (DSAA) 2016 30 May 2017 State-of-the-art train delay prediction systems neither exploit historical data about train movements, nor exogenous data about phenomena that can affect railway operations. They rely, instead, on static rules built by experts of the railway infrastructure based on classical univariate statistics. ...
