The EURNEX and ERCI position paper for FP10 calls for stronger collaboration among universities, research centers, SMEs, and industry within the European rail sector. Together with Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking (ERJU), we advocate for increased academic and SME participation to drive innovation, align with EU sustainability goals, and build a skilled workforce. We also emphasize the need for increased investment in rail research to balance funding with other transport modes, ensuring rail’s pivotal role in a sustainable, future-ready European transport system.

Rail System Optimization. Prepared by Dr.-Ing- Armando Carrillo Zanuy and Yawei Hu from EURNEX, European Rail Research Network of Excellence for: Working Group 7 for ERRAC RRIA.

This document has been produced by the Working Group 7 of the Rail Research and Innovation Agenda (RRIA) of ERRAC, it deals with railway research needs and the importance of optimizing rail systems for sustainable transportation and growth. It covers various aspects of railway infrastructure, electrification, control and signaling systems, rolling stock, freight and passenger services, and the externalities associated with railways.   The document introduces the technological innovations and the needs for research for each railway subsystem and concludes that a key approach is to promote projects that address integrated systems thinking, understanding trade-offs and synergies among railways’ components.
