Shifting to Europe’s Rail by Carlo Borghini, Executive Director, Europe's Rail Joint Undertaking

Funded through the EU research programme Horizon Europe, Shift2Rail, the joint undertaking for rail research and innovation gets a vote of confidence from both the EU and the rail sector with a decision by the European Member States on a new programming cycle under the name of Europe’s Rail.




BRAIN CREATORS
The rail industry needs digital clones behind human experts

Although innovation and digital transformation seem all about technology, they actually revolve around humans. Complex algorithms used for Artificial Intelligence (AI) contribute to making people's everyday lives a bit easier. And, especially in the rail industry, AI can help to solve one of the significant challenges: the skills gap. There is a lack of people with the right skills. So, what if technologies like deep learning and AI will allow us to spend less time on repetitive tasks and shift our attention to making changes that impact the sustainability of our environment and natural resources?

FERROCAMPUS of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, demonstration territory for Europe's Rail


By 2030-2050, the modes of transport that can accommodate a significant increase of users and goods traffic must reinvent themselves more than ever, both ecologically and therefore energetically, as well as technologically. The rail sector is constantly being called upon to reinvent itself in order to meet the needs of new mobility services. Within the framework of their competences, the European regions must participate in the rail Europe of tomorrow. This requires the creation of synergies between local, regional but also European actors. SMEs, engineering schools, training centers, industrial groups in the sector are thus called upon to collaborate and address the issues surrounding trades and training, new perspectives of mobility, construction and maintenance.


InnoTrans 2022 shows the future of mobility


As the leading international trade fair for rail transport technology, InnoTrans will present the future of mobility from 20 - 23 September 2022: from the most modern high-speed train to the intermodal app. At the 2018 show, 3,000 exhibitors from 60 countries displayed their railway technology innovations at the well-booked exhibition grounds in Berlin. The track and outdoor area is unique with 3,500 running metres of track with exhibitors such as Alstom, Stadler, Siemens Mobility and Deutsche Bahn. Exhibitors will present over 100 exhibits on the track and open-air site, including some world firsts. The offerings range from suburban railway of the future and hydrogen trains to grinding machines.


Wendy Morton MP, UK Minister of State for Transport will present the keynote opening address live at Transport Ticketing Global on 28 June 2022.


This address follows last year’s release of the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail, detailing the UK government’s plans to reform the UK rail industry including an overhaul of ticketing and fare setting. It is set to be the catalyst for the biggest shake-up of the industry in decades.

LOOKING TO THE SKIES
Fly by rail


Drones are in the news as big groups and start-ups alike compete and/or join forces to launch flying taxis for cities. Whether and when they will take off is anyone’s guess. Less The Fifth Element, more here and now, the railways are already using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for maintenance and surveillance purposes.


INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SOLUTION
Dealing with the unexpected


As public transport services become increasingly customer-focused (the name change from ‘passengers’ says it all), what helps an operator really stand out and strengthen or weaken their brand is how they respond to the unexpected. In such cases, an efficient incident and crisis management solution is a means of helping them maximise service continuity and deliver journey experiences that ensure customers come back for more – and tell others to do the same.
