Important results from the project
The main objectives of the project – to apply an AI-based technology, previously used in other contexts, in the railway industry – have been achieved. During the course of the project, an innovative idea has led to the development of a new technical solution, enhancing the project´s overall innovativeness. Adjustments made during the process were part of a natural learning curve and contributed to strengthening the final outcomes.
Expected long term effects
In the longer term, the project´s results could have several important impacts. The AI-based technology has the potential to improve safety and reduce traffic disruptions in the rail sector, contributing to better punctuality and lower downtime costs. Its success may also enable broader AI use across infrastructure, promoting data-driven, proactive methods and modernizing industry practices.
Approach and implementation
The project was carried out according to plan, with well-structured and relevant activities. The objectives were met, with some adjustments made to optimize outcomes. The timeline was largely maintained despite minor external influences. Collaboration between involved parties functioned effectively and supported the project´s success. Unexpected events occurred but were managed efficiently within the project framework.
