Important results from the project

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project is a feasibility study on the possibilities of implementing solutions that can detect and deter wildlife from railway tracks to minimize the risk of accidents. Alstoms has collaborated with an SME that has a possible solution to the problem that has been tested in other contexts with good results. In order to find out if the basic solution can work for rail traffic, the project has carried out an analysis of the requirements picture for the application and then defined steps for developing an adapted solution for integration in a train.

Expected long term effects

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The completed feasibility study shows which adaptations are needed for the system developed by Alstom´s partner in order to be integrated into a train. The analysis indicates that the system has major advantages in comparison with other available solution alternatives. Therefore, an initial plan has been drawn up for a follow-up project to demonstrate the technology on trains. The expectation from such a demonstration is a basis that shows reduced collisions in existing rail traffic and thus higher accessibility and safety.

Approach and implementation

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The feasibility study began with an initial needs and capabilities mapping by Alstom. After entering into a cooperation agreement, both companies have jointly studied the requirement picture for railway applications, carried out a gap analysis towards the basic solution and produced a concept solution for integration and implementation of the system in a train.
