“New technologies can do much to help modernise Europe’s railways, while also reducing operational and infrastructure costs and creating new business opportunities for the European rail supply industry” Proposal for a Council Regulation establishing the SHIFT²RAIL Joint Undertaking , 16 December 2013
SHIFT²RAIL • 14 March 2014: Political approval by the European Transport Council of a legislative regulation called SHIFT2RAIL to launch an ambitious new European Research & Innovation Programme that aims to: • Increase the competitiveness of the EU rail industry to help it retain world leadership • increase the attractiveness of rail transport. • A public-privateJoint Undertaking under Horizon 2020 starting in 2015 • Budget of 920 Million Euros for 2014-2020, including 450 Million from the EU and 470 Million from the Industry • After 3 years of intense work by the rail sector for the technical preparatory phase (coordinated by UNIFE) • A historical decision for the rail sector all over Europe
S2R Preparatory phase: the 25 Founders and overall 115+ promoters
Innovation Programme 2 – ADVANCED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL SYSTEMS • STAKE AT EU LEVEL: Maintaining the dominance of ERTMS as a solution for railway signalling and control systems across the world, while extending synergies and interoperability with the urban and mass transit railway sectors and speeding up the time to market. • CHALLENGE: Develop a new generation of signalling and control systems, building on current ERTMS, to enable intelligent traffic management with automatically driven trains and optimise capacity, reliability and minimise Life Cycle Costs.
The future ways of participating(*as proposed by the European Commission in its legislative proposal) • Participation in future R&D activities • Long-term funding for Founding and Associated Members • Members which will commit themselves to bring resources (financial resources, human resources and/or technical means) for the full duration of the project • Depending on their degree of involvement/contribution, these Members will be either: • Founding Members (8 companies already named in the Regulation Proposal) • or Associated Members (own contribution required shall be 2,5% of the Innovation Programme + selection through a competitive call) → Possibility for SMEs and research organisations to get together within a « consortium » in order to collectively become an Associated Member • Regular open calls for proposals for shorter-term projects • A significant part of the budget will be devoted to regular open calls for proposals for each Innovation Programme • The objective is clearly to trigger the participation of SMEs and Research Institutesthrough better-targeted calls • Regular open calls for tenders
H2020 1st Call(proposal to be approved by EC) • Transportation topics • MG.2.1-2014 – Intelligent infrastructure linked to IP2, IP3 and IP4 • MG.2.2-2014 (1): Seamless multimodal travel linked to IP4 • MG2.2-2014 (2): Logistic services linked to IP5 • MG.2.3: New generation rail vehicles linked to IP1 • SHIFT²RAIL promoted proposals
Conclusions • The current innovations are aiming to fulfill the vision described in the Transport White Paper; • The innovations of NGTC and SHIFT2RAIL are following the specification improvements identified in the ERTMS Memorandum of Understanding (2012); • SHIFT2RAIL under Horizon2020 provides the long term research strategy on step change innovation for the European Railway Sector.
