The subject of this report, concerns aviation safety. Its objective is to analyse 160 aviation-safety research projects to determine how they are contributing to safer flights for European citizens, whether via better aviation policies, safer designs and operational practices, improved safety
An analysis of the evolution of the main communication technologies deployed in railways identified standardisation, interoperability, scalability, energy efficiency and cyber security as key challenges. These issues need to be addressed if the benefits of enabling technologies are to be exploited.
Railways deliver economic, social and, particularly, environmental benefits and are an important mode of transport. This document aims to provide the reader with a synthesis of available results from completed European research projects related to rail transport.
