The project deals with different national systems and approaches to design of accessible public transport, pedestrian ways, public areas, passenger halls etc. in chosen European countries.

1) A comprehensive evaluation of current methods for determination of a safety against derailment.
2) Design and realisation of a new mobile test equipment for testing of safety against derailment and carbody movements.
3) Proposal of a new more accurate method for determination of safety against derailment. The new method will be tested using the new test equipment.

We're proposing an optimal method of equipping carriers with transport units for combined transport. The existence of a combined transport fleet is one of the conditions for the implementation of combined transport.

A significant share of combined transport has been achieved in shipments to and from the Czech Republic using long-distance maritime transport based on the use of ISO containers.

In order for the support system to be effective and to contribute to the fulfillment of the expected objectives of OPD, Transport Policy and other requirements, it is necessary to appropriately set the subject of support and conditions for its granting.

The current project is a follow on from the initial study of dry-ice application carried out in Phase 1 (project no. I04 POB 03). This showed that dry-ice has great potential as an option for giving predictable and optimised conditions in the wheel/rail interface for braking and for rail head cleaning. The overall aim for the project is to develop a demonstrator dry-ice application device and trial it in the laboratory (using full-scale representative conditions) and on-board railway vehicles in braking tests and rail head cleaning scenarios.

The current project is a follow on from the initial study of controlled water application carried out in Phase 1 (project no. I04 POB 05). This showed that water has good potential as an option for giving predictable and optimised conditions in the wheel/rail interface for braking. The overall aim for the project is to prove the effectiveness of controlled water addition in rail relevant conditions by developing a demonstrator water dispensing device to trial in the laboratory (using full-scale representative conditions) and on-board railway vehicles in braking tests.

Main aim is research and development of the porous structures (PS) which is implemented into the industrial parts which is stressed by static and dynamic load. So, the project is divided into 3 phases. 1th phase is focused on research and experimental works which is necessary support for second two phases which are focused on the applied industrial solutions. On the base of these work the applied outputs will be realized like functional samples, utility model and verified technology.
Next are summarized general project activities:
- Research and development of the porous structures focused on design construction, 3D sintering and strength include testing
- Optimization of the PS 3D printing
- Optimization of the PS import into the final body focused on the variable size of PS, connection of the different PS and orientation
- Positive influence of surface integrity by 3D printing and postprocessing processes,
- Increasing of the surface quality - optimization of surface treatment with respect of the total surface integrity
- FEM analysis of PS and the completed parts (strength, flow forming, and others)
- Innovation or development of the industrial parts when the new knowledge?s are used

Axle failure is a common cause of rail emergencies. To solve the safety problem of long-term operation of wheelsets on rolling stock, and prevent sudden operating axle fractures, we are developing the means for assessing axle-life given a defined surface damage.

The aim is to increase the safety of rolling stock traffic, both with passenger and freight vehicles.

The result will be a precise definition of technical conditions required for safe operation of rolling stock axles. Likewise, we'll define conditions needed to prevent emergencies from axle fatigue.
