The FERROVIA 4.0 project aims to address the technological and market challenges that the global railway sector has faced, stimulating a collective action that mobilizes around a wide range of companies and entities of the R&I system that are part of the Cluster of the Portuguese Railway Platform (PFP) in carrying out innovative activities of industrial research that enhance experimental development, and the demonstration of new solutions capable of promoting better operational capacity, sustainability and competitiveness to railway systems.
The global objective of the project is to develop different components, tools and systems to be tested on rolling stock and real infrastructure, which are oriented towards the economic and ecological sustainability of the railway system to lower the operating and maintenance costs; for reliable information systems to support decision-making in asset management and for the creation of security systems capable of monitoring the infrastructure and triggering alerts and measures of protection/intervention. It is also the project’s ambition to ensure that cybersecurity technologies and methodologies are incorporated into the information and communication technology structure of the railway system, in order to avoid unwanted intrusions.
