Arctic Railway Infrastructure in Kolarctic II

Programme 2014 - 2020 Kolarctic ENI CBC

Description

Description (EN):

The railway infrastructure has a central role in the Kolarctic region and enables efficient transportation of ore, timber, goods and passengers both inside and out of the region. In Europe and in the Kolarctic region, there is an increasing demand for the railways to be better utilized through heavier, longer, faster and more frequent trains. This, together with the harsh arctic conditions, causes certain requirements for the railway infrastructure. The project ARINKA aims to develop a cross-border railway research and development collaboration between parties in the Kolarctic region. The project aims to exchange railway technical know-how and best-practice solutions with the goal of making the Kolarctic railway more reliable through robust rail infrastructure solutions, more cost-effective maintenance and repair operations, and railway infrastructure monitoring through advanced sensor technology solutions.

Expected Results (EN): Increased railway capacity in Kolarctic regions and contribute to make the railway network & railway operations in more sustainable and climate-proof.

Expected Outputs (EN):

Mapping of the Kolarctic railway system; Competence gap description; Site visits/ study trip within & outside Kolarctic; Scientific publications; Education, Courses & Training Programme; Workshops/ Conferences; an ARINKA railway competence network; Description of capacity and cold climate issues, requirements and limitations for Kolarctic region railway network; Concepts for improved/ upgrading capacity & more robust and climate-proof railway infrastructure. Guideline report for upgrading railway capacity & more robust and climate proof infrastructure; Implementation plans for railway upgrading solutions and improved performance in cold climate; Description of railway operations - maintenance & repair practices in Kolarctic; Develop proposals for improved and cost-effective railway operations & maintenance services in cold climate; Guideline report for railway operational & maintenance services; Implementation plan for operational & maintenance railway services; Report on sensor and monitoring needs and requirements; Proposals for more effective monitoring and sensor systems for Kolarctic railways; Guidelines for Kolarctic railway monitoring systems and sensor technologies; Implementation plan for sensor & monitoring systems.
