About the research project  


The current railway signalling system employs operational (e.g., noise measurement data) and safety related sensor data (e.g., switch locking data) for management of train operations. There are European plans to increase the scope and use of such data for the next generation of signalling systems. The aim is to allow for status monitoring to be interacting with, and to some extent be incorporated in the signalling system. This would allow a proactive approach to maintenance, thus improving reliability, decreasing costs etc.
