The concept underpinning In2Rail is the universal adoption of a whole system approach to create the building blocks for Shift2Rail: Innovative technologies are explored and resulting concepts embedded in a systems framework where infrastructure, information management, maintenance techniques, energy and engineering are integrated, optimised and routinely shared and exploited across the transport sector. In2Rail is fully aligned with Shift2Rail in its objectives, approach and ambition, addressing early research and innovation priorities.
In2Rail deliverables will be positioned between Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 3 to 5. 
In2Rail positioning
In2Rail shares the Shift2Rail objectives and will directly contribute to the achievement of the ambitions of Shift2Rail Innovations Programmes 2 and 3. In2Rail is also linked with other Horizon 2020 Mobility for Growth projects, specifically ROLL²RAIL and IT²RAIL.
