DISRUPTIVE ASSETS MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS, INCLUDING URBAN USE CASES

HORIZON-ER-JU-2023-EXPLR-04

Programme: Horizon Europe Framework Programme (HORIZON)
Call: EU-RAIL JU Call Proposals 2023-01 (HORIZON-JU-ER-2023-01)
Type of action: HORIZON-JU-RIA HORIZON JU Research and Innovation Actions
Type of MGA: HORIZON Lump Sum Grant [HORIZON-AG-LS]
Deadline model: single-stage
Planned opening date: 04 October 2023
Deadline date: 07 February 2024 17:00:00 Brussels time

ExpectedOutcome:
Building upon the work delivered by IP3 in S2R and other research and innovation activities, the Project stemming from this topic shall ensure the innovative/disruptive aspect of proposed Technologies / Use cases thanks to a thorough state of the art of existing solutions and on-going R&I activities. The project shall not undertake any (similar) activities currently implemented in the context of FP3-IAM4RAIL as describe in the project deliverable D2.6 – Definition of Use Cases, including Innovation, Business Assessment, KPIs definition and roadmap (first issue)[1]. More specifically, no robotic/unmanned application shall be considered as use case.

The Project stemming from this topic is expected to deliver relevant environment validation of three innovative demonstrators of innovative:

assets monitoring solutions and/or
inspections solutions and/or
remotely controlled interventions solutions.
Among the proposed demonstrators, at least two urban specific use cases (metro/tramway/…) shall be addressed.

Scope:
Rail asset management is a key area to enhance via research and innovation, especially as more rail services will be needed to solve existing challenges and meet societal demands, following EU guidelines such as the Green Deal. The objective of the project is to enhance the capability for monitoring/inspection solutions evolving towards non-invasive and self-diagnostic systems with no or minimal service disruptions and/or remotely controlled interventions, through the usage of innovative/disruptive technologies concerning data acquisition, data analysis and maintenance decision making.

In order to fulfil the expected demonstration outputs, research activities should detail specific, tangible and suitable use cases illustrating the impact of the technologies in concrete solutions. While the innovative/disruptive aspect of the technologies implementation choice shall be considered, the definition of the use cases shall ensure a possible deployment of the outcomes. Those proposed innovative solutions should contribute to a significant improvement in reliability, availability, maintainability and safety of the system or work conditions versus state of the art.

Interactions with other EU-RAIL projects and EU-Missions

The action to be funded under this topic shall take into account the outputs of linked projects from EU-RAIL Flagship Area 3[2] and work together for any potential interfaces.

Gender dimension

In this topic the integration of the gender dimension (sex and gender analysis) in research and innovation content is not a mandatory requirement.

Specific Topic Conditions:
Activities are expected to be at TRL 4/5, higher TRL are possible – see General Annex B for a guide to the TRL definitions and criteria to be used.
