Research Projects

RailTech can help you initiate and establish a research project - we will help you find the right resources at DTU

Across the departments at DTU several research projects are dedicated to different aspects of rail technology. Among them are:

EASIER - DTU Management creates models where the customer is the railroad's focus, therefore it becomes easier, more accessible and secure to jump on the train.
5GRAIL - DTU Photonics participates in the project regarding the future traffic control technology FRMCS. The main organisation of railroads; UIC is coordinator.
SORTED Mobility - The future train system is not only driverless, but as well autonomous which creates more resilience and demand. DTU Management is part of the project.

Roads2Rails - Danish Technological Institute and DTU Civil Engineering as main research center with partners from Banedanmark (Rail Net Denmark), Atkins Denmark and Arkil
Intelliswitch - headed by DTU Wind and with participation from DTU Electrical Engineering, DTU Mechanical Engineering, DTU Compute, - and with Banedanmark (Rail Net Denmark) as an important partner
IPTOP - headed by DTU Transport and with participation from DTU Management and DTU Compute - also with important participation from partners Banedanmark (Rail Net Denmark), DSB, Movia, Rapidis, Trafikstyrelsen (the Danish Transport and Construction Agency)
RobustRails - headed by DTU Management and with participation from DTU Compute, DTU Fotonik and DTU Transport
