Description: T1414 aims to demonstrate the effective use of Solar Reflective Solutions to reduce internal vehicle temperatures, supporting improved passenger comfort, reduced HVAC energy consumption demand and improved component reliability for GB passenger rolling stock. Work Package 1- Benchmarking and trial planning • Assess the...
Description: T1407 aims to identify the best approaches to improving air flow and air quality management in existing railway stations. By identifying effective assessment methods, classifying air flow types to guide interventions, and conducting a pilot study at Birmingham New Street Station (BNS) to evaluate and recommend practica...
Description: RSSB seeks to procure desktop research into rail noise mitigation options and associated analysis of noise maps. This work will inform the development of the England Noise Action Plan for rail, and help inform the development of future rail noise policy. For more information about this opportunity, please visit the Del...
Description: The aim of T1399 is to establish the evidence base and practical framework required to plan interventions that improve boarding accessibility at the PTI. To achieve this, the project will: • Identify and review interventions: Produce a comprehensive review of national and international interventions to improve boarding...
Description: The aim of T1398 is to generate and apply the methodology needed to prioritise and make the case for interventions to make boarding and alighting more accessible. To achieve this, the project will: •Define a range of Boarding Categories based on PTI geometry data and human factors. The thresholds between these categor...
Description: This research aims to: -collate knowledge on the current state of driver competence management (assessment and developmental) -identify opportunities to use technology and data more effectively, and -clarify what changes are needed to take advantage of these opportunities. Ultimately, it will support industry in unde...
Description: At the highest level, this work package seeks to provide missing empirical data which will support decision making and modelling to better understand how the behaviour of freight braking systems impact on the generation of wheel flats. This project will seek to characterise and document the behaviour of freight brakin...
Description: RSSB seeks to procure research to: •Provide insight on front-end lighting used on GB rolling stock; the assumptions made on their performance (both in term of visibility provided to the driver and warning to people on or near the line) •Indicate the degree of warning provided (in terms of distance between an oncoming t...
Description: The objective of this research is to define a set of standardised tram-train platform arrangements suitable for use in Great Britain. These arrangements will help support safe, accessible, and cost-effective delivery of future tram-train schemes. The project will: •Develop practical platform interface designs that acco...
Description: While systems capable of autonomous or semi-autonomous movement have demonstrated operational readiness, their use remains constrained by existing rules and definitions that do not reflect their modern capabilities. While aerial inspection platforms such as drones are increasingly used across the rail industry, this re...
Description: RSSB is seeking to procure research to determine what space could be available in the lower sector gauge (vehicle and infrastructure) to fit different / additional equipment, that improves electrical safety from the 750 V DC conductor rail system as well as potentially for other purposes. For more information about thi...
Description: This research intends to investigate the discrepancies between the maximum vertical dimensions within different gauges, which could create safety issues where such exceedances occur in the vicinity of live overhead wires. The results of this piece of work needs to provide robust evidence to inform the creation of a tec...
Description: RSSB seeks to procure research to address the following research objectives: •Improve the rail industry’s understanding of how the safety risk of a LIB train compares to the safety risk of a combustion engine train. •Enable the rail industry to model changes in the risk profiles associated with the phased introduction ...
