Content	FP 7 Cooperation Work Programme: Transport Page 90 of 118 SST.2007.5.2.2: Dynamic Stability of Lightweight Trains The objective of this research project is to establish the practical physical limits on the lightness of future trains and carry out research to determine specific developments required for vehicle and infrastructure design to optimise train performances. The scope shall include: 1. Assessment of the economic and environmental impact benefits of lightweight mainline, metro & light rail vehicles in respect of reduced infrastructure maintenance needs and reduced traction energy consumption; 2. Determination of the factors affecting minimising of train mass followed by practical limit values for the above factors, initially singularly but also in combination; 3. Analysis of the dynamic stability of Mainline & Urban transit vehicles with particular attention to wheel/rail interaction, reduction of track forces and cross wind performance; 4. Optimisation of collision resistance and mass reduction; 5. Investigation of the potential benefit of mechatronics, active suspension and active control (for lightweight and flexible structures) solutions for good ride quality 6. New European Standards for safe minimum axle loads applied to medium and high speed vehicles The project will result in a thorough analysis of the dynamic behaviour of lightweight trains, with validated results and a clear understanding of the impact and benefits of lightweight trains and the use of active suspension. Funding scheme: Collaborative Projects large-scale integrating projects Open in call: FP7-SUSTAINABLE SURFACE TRANSPORT (SST)-2007-RTD-1 7.2.6 CROSS-CUTTING ACTIVITIES for implementation of the sub-theme programme In this chapter, no differentiated research areas are proposed. THE FOLLOWING TOPICS ARE FOR LEVEL 1 SST.2007.6.1 Stimulating participation of Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) Proposals will demonstrate making contributions to increase the participation of SMEs in the programme, so to enhance the capabilities of the European surface supply chains and to strengthen the competitiveness of the European surface transport industries. Activities will aim at stimulate, encourage and facilitate the participation of SME and their clusters in the research activities of the programme, particularly in projects addressing activity 7.2.5 of Sustainable Surface Transport. Actions of stimulation will include information events, networking, studies and workshops.
