INNOTRACK is a joint Infrastructure Managers – Industry EU-funded research project aimed at developing cost-effective high performance track infrastructure for heavy rail systems.
The overall objective is to reduce the LCC (life-cycle cost) by 30% while improving the RAMS characteristics (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety) of a conventional line with a mixed traffic duty.
This is being achieved by undertaking technology-driven innovative research in the four key areas of Track Support Structure, Switches and Crossings, Rails and Welding, and Logistics for track maintenance and renewal.
