ERRAC ROAD MAP - ERRAC Road Map
Overview
Background & policy context:
The project covers research related to all types of freight and passenger rail services. This includes research into interaction with other modes within the transport system (high speed rail, conventional rail, urban rail and co-modal services) and the implementation of such research. Also supporting the various activities of the European Rail Research Advisory Council in 2008 and beyond, and to favour the sustainable mobility of European citizens.
Objectives:
ERRAC-ROADMAP is a Level 1 Coordination and Support Action Project, aiming at the very important area of coordinating rail research activities. This project is an essential coordination tool to ensure that the ERRAC 2020 Vision can be turned into a reality. Without effective coordination to ensure the relevance and applicability of the rail research activities, it is impossible to prioritise the innovative methodologies and technologies for more competitive rail transport operations.
The objective is to deliver ROADMAPS to guide rail research in order to provide a rail option that is reliable, environmentally friendly, efficient and economic to customers.
Methodology:
The roadmaps will address the various activities. The ERRAC-ROADMAP project will contribute to translate, monitor and disseminate to the whole European industry the strategic recommendations and guidelines of the SRRA.
