(the SHIFT2RAIL global targets).
PROBLEM STATEMENT: The Roll2Rail (R2R)
programme is a European rail innovation
funding vehicle that is a lighthouse programme
for Shift2Rail, this is WP1: Traction.
The aim is for the innovations to be developed
in this WP to be taken up by the Traction
activities within IP1 of SHIFT2RAIL.
SOLUTION: Three objectives are addressed by
this work package: contribute to increase of
capacity, system reliability and competitiveness

PROBLEM STATEMENT: The Roll2Rail (R2R)
programme is a European rail innovation
funding vehicle that is a lighthouse programme
for Shift2Rail, this is WP5: Brakes.
WP5: Brakes
SOLUTION: The homologation process for the
brake system raises the effort for the brake
system hardware, the testing of the brake
system and the documentation for the national
requirements.
+
Also the risk (time, cost) for the homologation
process in general is increased. Especially for
homologation in more than one country the
documentation and the verification is done
separately for each country.
Finally the effort for homologation and the risks
involved may be a constraint for innovation.
This project is about harmonisation across
Europe.
