Europe's Rail Joint Call 2025
Basic Information
Based on current trends and forecasts, the number of passengers will significantly increase in the upcoming decades and the existing transport modes may face capacity limitations without infrastructure investments. Emerging technology for guided transport systems could be a complementary solution for the increased demand, increasing also the availability of sustainable transportation solutions. This topic seeks to enhance the existing railway system by exploring the integration of maglev-derived technologies into existing railway infrastructures to reinforce railways as the backbone of the trans-European multimodal transport network by increasing its capacity and performances.

| Aim of the joint call | This call addresses potential solutions which could support solving current transport challenges and make the current rail system more performant by introducing Maglev-Derived transport systems (MDS). Building upon the results of Europe’s Rail MaDe4Rail [https://www.rfi.it/en/Network/in-europe/MaDe4Rail.html] project, this call aims to further assess and propose solutions on the technical open points of maglev derived technologies. In addition, further develop the design concept based on the most promising use cases while tackling the technical issues and analyse the economic viability of the system and propose a full scale fully automated MDS application concept. | ||||||
