| Abstract |
This paper summarizes the project "Reality Lab Digital Railway" (VDJ). The goal of the project is to open up Trafikverket's core business within railway for the development and demonstration of digital information solutions that are tested by primary actors and end users. The project is mainly financed by Vinnova and Trafikverket. The implementation takes place within the framework of Trafikverket's main process "Research and develop innovation" and in accordance with Trafikverket's project model (XLPM). The project is carried out in close collaboration with the project "ePilot" at Lulea Railway Research Centre (JVTC). A key project strategy is to address prioritised stakeholder needs through various initiatives to increase Trafikverket's ability to contribute to the project goal. The results of the project can be summarized in regulations, organization, roles and technologies that contribute to Trafikverket's ability to achieve the project goals. Examples of results are methodologies and tools for establishing and actively managing a more dynamic regulatory framework that clarifies the need for innovation as well as the specification of the application of digital technologies to strengthen the industry's ability. To support industry collaboration during development and demonstration projects, physical and digital assets as well as IT-solutions have also been established. The project has also produced proposals for agreements regarding information management between Trafikverket and external parties. The future organization of VDJ will mainly be based on informal and formal competence networks, both within Trafikverket and externally. The approach is based on existing processes related to research and innovation, testing activities and the development of systems and components. In order to enable ongoing operations within VDJ at Trafikverket, the following functions and activities are central: A platform for receiving, storing, analysing and providing large amounts of industrial information. This platform should be able to be used during all stages of development, testing and ongoing operations. Standardized agreements with operators and system suppliers regarding management of asset-related information. This is to support demonstration, testing and application of vehicle-based solutions for monitoring the infrastructure. Adaptation of maintenance contracts to support development and demonstration in railway operations. This is in addition to today's opportunity for research and innovation projects to use amendments, additions and outgoing work in the maintenance contracts. Further development of implemented methodologies and tools to identify functions to monitor so that they also meet the requirements for traffic safety within railway. This is to support a more active management of dynamic maintenance programs and strategies, which in turn support the identification and establishment of need-based solutions for monitoring of the railway infrastructure. |
