Phase 2 of the BerdiBa project has started!

We are glad to announce the continuation of BerdiBa. The project, co-funded by the European Union, aims to design and evaluate an innovative digital rail system, including an autonomous train. The pilot project started at the beginning of 2022, and we will step up research from 2023. The end of phase 2 is expected in July 2024.

What is our contribution?

DynDHemo
Research a dynamic monitoring and analysis system for a complex, stand-alone cyber-physical system that monitors the state of live hardware and software using a near real-time digital twin.
What are the benefits?
Higher availability
Faster response time
Improved security measures
"The big win? There’s no need for an engineer on your train anymore to keep logs in case something goes wrong. But there si more: The digital twin doesn’t just predict failing hardware: it also detects security threats and even creates ‘what if’ scenarios, allowing you to prepare for any threat or mishap."

TrainBLE
Digital twin of railway passengers through real-time anonymous localization.
What are the benefits?
Wayfinding
Tracking passenger movement
Advanced ticketing options
Personalizing passenger information
"This will open up a new world of possibilities in passenger comfort when paired with Wi-Fi. It’s useful for train builders themselves as well: they gain insight into dwell times and passenger movements, enabling them to optimize stop times, methods for loading and unloading and so on"
