Project description
Over the past few years, one person is killed and just less than one seriously injured every day on level crossings. Therefore our project aims to improve safety and minimize risk by developing a fully-integrated cross-modal (rail & road) set of innovative solutions (new digital technologies) and tools for the proactive management and design of level-crossing infrastructure.
The consequences of failure or accident at level crossings in terms of train delays, traffic reduction and/or cancelled trains have a huge impact on customers (freight or passengers).
