Challenge IM’s are managing ageing rail infrastructure with 95% of the network having been built before 1914. EU transport policy provides the challenge to increase the productivity of existing rail networks, prioritise renewal and optimise new sections to reduce bottlenecks, increase productivity and achieve a switch from freight transport by road to rail.

Project Aim The aim of DESTination RAIL is to provide solutions for a number of problems faced by EU infrastructure managers . Novel techniques for identifying, analysing and remediating critical rail infrastructure will be developed. DESTination RAIL Decision Support Tool for Rail Infrastructure 4 EU Project No. 636285

Fact - Classify The performance models will allow a step-change in risk assessment, moving from the current subjective (qualitative) basis to become fundamentally based on quantifiable data. A decision support tool will take risk ratings and assess the impact on the traffic flow and whole life cycle costs of the network.

Impact – Pilot Projects A number of Pilot Projects are being performed where elements or processes can be developed, tested and validated at scales ranging from lab to field. Point cloud data from drone flight Installation of track at location of landslide, Croatia Monitoring - Norway DESTination RAIL Decision Support Tool for Rail Infrastructure 9 EU Project No. 636285
Impact – Demonstration Projects Two major demonstration projects are being undertaken. Boyne Viaduct in Ireland – demonstrate monitoring and collection of data for real- time risk assessments. Thus the fully implemented Decision Support Tool can be demonstrated to IM’s and certification bodies. System live in October 2015. Remediation of an ageing railway embankment on the Slovenian rail network will be used to demonstrate the effect of novel products and high-end design procedures on the whole life-cycle cost of reconstruction. of result DESTination RAIL Decision Support Tool for Rail Infrastructure 10 EU Project No. 636285
Ensuring Uptake Exploitation of the projects outcomes is managed in by an exploitation sub-committee part of the executive (management) board of the project. A key focus is: 1. Engagement with the rail industry to face to face meetings. 2. Collaboration with other projects and Shift2Rail 3. Publications in technical journals, conferences and trade magazines DESTination RAIL Decision Support Tool for Rail Infrastructure 11 EU Project No. 636285
