RAILCOM - Electromagnetic Compatibility Between Rolling Stock And Rail-Infrastructure Encouraging European Interoperability |
 |
RAILCOM is aiming at achieving harmonisation of interference limits necessary for a sustainable improvement of production techniques for electrical installations of railway vehicles. The results of the project are expected to comprise of: • harmonised methods defining interference limits for train detection systems on the TEN-T lines; • relationships between the EM fields in the railway environment and the operating conditions of the system with particular reference to communication systems. The benefits of the project will include: • significant technical/scientific innovation in the modelling/calculation techniques; • contribution to the improved global approach to railway systems through the improvement of interoperability between various railway infrastructure components; • important economical impact on the demonstration of vehicle compliance; • improved competitiveness of the European railway industry; • improvement of compliance within the environmental constraints. |

Added value for SMEs ESC Infobank was created as an important source of information related to EMC in railways, the Infobank and the associated ESC Usergroup play an important role in disseminating the research result to the specialists in the field of railway electrical engineering. The results of the RAILCOM are contributing to standardization process regarding EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) as well as to interoperability in the railway domain. Indirectly (via the standards) and directly by use of modeling tools/results – SMEs (producers, engineering companies) could benefit in optimizing their products for the railway market and thus increase they competitiveness on the market place. |
