SP3 – DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION OF SOLUTIONS AT TEST SITES

The objectives of SP3 are to obtain:

• final detailed design of all solutions retained for the specific validations concerned;
• implementation and validation of solutions (using criteria detailed further in the proposal) in end-users networks concerned;
• validation sites for dissemination and promotion purposes.

The networks of the ten end-users are:

1. Metro Sao Paolo (BR): embedded metro track system in tunnels
2. STIB Brussels (B): green tram tracks
3. Transport for London (UK): rail/street pavement interface
4. Tramway Andalusia (E): innovative installation methods for prefabricated track
5. Bremen Strassenbahn (D): replacement techniques for prefabricated track
6. RATP Paris (F): maintenance of metro tracks
7. STIB Brussels (B): embedded tram tracks in curves (wear)
8. Metro Barcelona (E): alternative to floating slab
9. Karlsruhe (D): introduction of vibration insulated track
10. Manila Light Rail (PH): automated track quality inspection system
