Funding to support the use of space-based assets to improve the European Rail system
Space technologies, such as satellite navigation, satellite communication and Earth observation, can help the railway sector in many ways.
ESA open call “Space4Rail Downstream Applications in ARTES 4.0” aims to support the exploitation of space-based assets (satellite navigation, satellite communications and/or Earth observation) in innovative and sustainable applications/services:
1. Related to future control, command and signalling applications of the European Rail system;
2. Improving the performance and attractiveness of the railway, both for railway undertakings and end users.
Feasibility studies and demonstration projects are invited.
