Purpose and goal
The additional appropriation was intended to establish, anchor and get positive statement from the relevant European organisations and networks. The goal is to get written declaration of support from the main relevant organisations. We have met representatives of the most important organisations in the European railway industry and received positive have all over received positive reactions to the project. Unfortunately it is a long and complicated process to get their organisations to make a written declaration of support. A market survey over the test market was also carried out.
Expected results and effects
Although we have not received written support statements we have made our project known, and received positive response from the people we met. We have also been confirmed in the market analysis that there is a trend in Europe with increasing test volumes.
Planned approach and implementation
We have engaged a consultant, Henrik Tengstrand, who has extensive experience in the industry and has a large personal network. By means of him we have met different organisations. Without him it would have been difficult to get to meetings in such a short time.
