INESS Final Conference – 3 February 2012
The INtegrated European Signalling System (INESS) R&D project, launched in October 2008, funded by the EU Commission under the First Call of the Seventh EU R&D Framework programme, will be coming to an end in March 2012
To mark the end of the project and to present its results, the INESS Final Conference will be held at the UIC in Paris on 3 February 2012.
The programme of the free, one-day conference will consist of:
- Morning session – presentations on projects results and lessons learned
- Afternoon session – marketplace and breakout sessions where each work-stream will demonstrate the results, tools and methods used and discuss specific topics
The main objective of INESS is to define and develop specifications for a new generation of interlocking systems, and apply methods and tools capable of reducing LCC and enhancing the standardisation process. In the context of current European policy, it is hereby expected to foster signalling equipment migrations and support the rollout of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS).
The European Commission and the European railway associations, together with the railway supply industry, are working closely together to define an efficient migration strategy for ERTMS. INESS will support the development of a new generation of interlocking systems with optimal harmonised design and interfaces towards adjacent systems such as the European Train Control System (ETCS) Radio Block Centre and outdoor equipment, especially connecting to ETCS.
Who you will meet:
The Conference will be of interest to those working in the field of railway standardisation and specification work, not only in the official standardisation bodies but also in the various sectoral organisations who are increasingly involved in this subject. The INESS project is producing results which should be of significant interest to all those involved in the very important field of railway standardisation.
