In the future there will be hybrid electric-diesel locomotives. We are developing a hybrid locomotive and improving its energy management, using a system already popular in electric cars, reusing the kinetic energy generated from braking.
Another way to reduce fuel consumption in particular is the operation of an internal combustion engine in optimal mode with minimum fuel consumption, when total emissions also minimizes. Output of the project will be the functional samples of hybrid locomotive and its subsystems, including control system and accumulator system.

-- to develop a model with the ability to predict the influence of water on adhesion between the wheel and rail, validated through laboratory testing,
-- to better understand the influence of the physical and chemical properties of water in the contact patch on the interaction between wheel and rail.

The overall aim of the S-CODE project is to investigate, develop and initially demonstrate radically new concepts for switches and crossings
that have the potential to lead to increases in capacity, reliability and safety while reducing investment and operating costs.
