The aim of innotrack was to deliver innovative products, processes and methodologies in order to achieve the errac targets of increased quantities and quality of rail transport on conventional lines with mixed traffic. innotrack is said to be the first European project with comprehensive co-operation between infrastructure managers and the supply industry regarding the complete track construction, with the aim to reduce the rate of track degradation and maintenance intervention. innotrack comprised a total of 1 266 man-months with a budgeted project cost of meur 18.6 (including budgeted eu funding of meur 10.0). The 36 partners (from 10 countries) in innotrack are listed in charmec’s Triennial Report for Stage 4. Banverket’s (now Trafikverket) Björn Paulsson was the Project Manager, representing the uic and based in their office in Paris. charmec’s Anders Ekberg was the technical and scientific co-ordinator for the entire innotrack project, see page 87. INNOTRACK’s project manager Björn Paulsson (left) and technical and scientific co-ordinator Anders Ekberg outside the UIC office in Paris. Photo taken in 2009 The results of the innotrack project have been reported in 144 “deliverables”. charmec was the lead contractor for 6 of these and contributed to others. A Concluding Technical Report (see below and page 117) summarizing the overall results of innotrack has been compiled by us. innotrack formally ended on 31 December 2009 and later activities have focused on dissemination and implementation (see also projects sp21 and sp22). For co-ordination at the European level, an innotrack Implementation Group has been formed with Anders Ekberg participating. He and Björn Paulsson have also participated in the uic Track Expert Group (teg) with the dissemination and quality assurance of project results. The Executive Summary of the innotrack Concluding Technical Report has been translated into German, French, Swedish and Russian with charmec being involved in the translations into Swedish and Russian. Regarding dissemination activities (co-)organized by charmec, we may mention a public seminar on innotrack with emphasis on the work carried out by us at Chalmers on 9 September 2010, a workshop on “Minimum action rules and maintenance limits” at Chalmers on 19-20 October 2010, a workshop on results regarding switches & crossings including a visit to installed demonstrators in Eslöv (Sweden) on 14–15 February 2012, and a press conference at vinnova in Stockholm on 9 September 2010. The Europe-wide implementation of the innotrack results is now being monitored in relation to the Concluding Technical Report, which can be downloaded from the project website www.innotrack.eu. A special issue of IMechE Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit (see below) provides an overview of the scientific aspects of innotrack.
