 Facilities for Accelerated Service Testing and Execution for Railways
(A European Institution)

The paper describes the need of an integrated project for the creation of European test facilities of railway components under the leadership of a self-financing European institution. It is meant to accelerate new developments which are needed by railways to achieve the intended market share in the next two decades. Respective rail organisations together with CEC plan to increase rail traffic in the passenger sector by 40% and in freight by 70%. The respective shares in the transport market will then be 12%  and 15% respectively. To achieve these overall goals railway organisations like UIC and UNIFE define and try to solve together with their members very ambitious challenges in different sectors.
