Rail Transport Competence Center (RTCC) Transport
Rail Transport Competence Center (RTCC) of the Institute of Highway Technology and Innovation (IATI) Consortium, is looking for opportunities to participate together with international partner(s) in the Horizon 2020 – research and innovation framework programme.
RTCC is interested in cooperation in any project related to:
- Vehicle engineering
- Railway transport technology
- Rolling stock engineering
Areas of special interest of Rail Transport Competence Center are:
- Logistics and intermodal transport
- Enhancement of the knowledge base of the rail sector
- Quality of rail services
- Interoperability and safety
- High quality public transport
- Competitive surface transport products and services
- Smart, green and integrated transport
- Sustainable development
RTCC Partners have highly qualified and titled staff among others in the area of: designing of railway vehicles including structure, modern design, functionality and ergonomics, noise emission researches in transport, vibration measurements and analyses in transport, efficiency analysis for new investments in transport with appliance of life cycle cost model and cost benefit analysis, RAMS, FMEA, reliability analysis of rolling stocks and transportation systems.
About Rail Transport Competence Center:
Rail Transport Competence Center – Poland is coordinated by Institute of Rail Vehicles, Cracow University of Technology. The RTCC is aimed at conduct R&D projects in rail transport engineering incl. vehicles and infrastructure.
