Objectives

PIVOT2 will build on the work and concepts of PIVOT and move all of these concepts to higher TRL levels.

Objectives
Carbody shell The main objectives of the carbody shell work in PIVOT2 is to continue the design of the different demonstrators developed in PIVOT, to manufacture them and test them at the different levels of TRLs. The technical objectives for the demonstrators are;
  • to achieve a significant weight reduction for the primary structures;
  • simplify the manufacturing process;
  • meet the performance of current metallic car body shells by incorporating composite materials into hybrid structures.
Running gear The objectives are to develop innovative solutions, but especially providing technical demonstrators for running gear applications up to TRL6/7. The defined activities cover the following aspects;
  • evolution of the Universal Cost Model (UCM2.0);
  • new sensor architectures and functionality to monitor both running gear and track;
  • light weight and optimized materials validated and certified for the running gear environment;
  • virtual certification focused on EN 14363;
  • definition and validation of actuator technology to control running gear and wheelsets;
  • development of a new noise and vibration assessment methodology.

The defined activities address several functions of running gear (comfort, curving, structural function, rolling components, health monitoring, etc.).
Brakes The objective is to develop innovative braking systems to contribute to the achievement of key Shift2Rail Multi-Annual Action Plan (MAAP) objectives: improving performance, reliability and punctuality, increasing capacity and reducing life-cycle costs (LCC). In order to achieve these objectives, PIVOT2 builds on the results of the work done in Roll2Rail, PINTA, PINTA2, CONNECTA as well as PIVOT, PIVOT2 and focuses on developing innovative solutions in following areas;
  • High safety integrity level electronics;
  • Adhesion management solutions;
  • Innovative friction pairing solutions;
  • Electro-mechanic brake;
  • Virtual verification and validation for certification of braking system.
Doors In order to solve the entrance system challenge which is to provide seamless and flexible access to the train to persons with reduced mobility, while reducing the weight and the cost, improving comfort features (noise, thermal, etc.), and adding functionalities of door and access systems for a long-term target of autonomous door for automatic train operation, the objectives for the work on doors is to continue the work done in PIVOT project and to perform the design studies on the following topics:
  • New entrance system functions towards an autonomous door
  • Metallic and composite door leaves
  • Tests and Demonstration
  • Eco-design studies
  • Functional Distribution Framework and Door application profile
Modular Interiors The overall objective of the Modular Interiors work is to make railway transport more attractive to passengers and more flexible to operators by reducing the cost of an interiors redesign and increasing the possibilities to evolve fully or partially train interiors/driver cabin during the operating life.
The interior design of current Rolling Stock is not adapted to the demand of flexibility to meet the passenger demand during the in-service operating life of a train (40 years). There is a risk that the integrated interior becomes quickly obsolete and does not meet the passenger/operator expectations. This TD will mainly work on Modularity In Use (MIU). The specific objectives are;
  • To define the common view to build the concepts with the deliverables from PIVOT;
  • To make choices of the concepts to develop for interiors design and driver cabin;
  • To start the studies of final concepts;
  • To propose proofs of concept at InnoTrans 2020 and prototype at InnoTrans 2022.
HVAC The objective of the work in HVAC is to begin with a conventional HVAC-system with artificial refrigerants and to:
  • Push the development of eco-friendly systems for “Heating, Ventilation, Air conditioning and Cooling” (HVAC) with natural refrigerants to overcome the limitation of artificial refrigerants within the European Union;
  • Meet the need of railway undertakings and vehicle integrators to substitute HVACs with artificial refrigerants within a short time;
  • Enable standardised interfaces between HVAC and vehicle to simplify the replacement of HVAC
  • Reduce the risk of new technology in serial vehicles;
  • Gain a competitive advantage for European HVAC-suppliers in relation to developments outside of Europe;
  • Reduce energy consumption of vehicles by means of integration of a heat pump into the HVAC.

Project Structure



WP01 - Car body - Detail design

The main objective of WP1 is to develop the detail designs of some key elements such as HS carbody, headstock carbody section or short couple element defined in PIVOT.

  • TALGO, ANN, FIDAMC and TECNALIA will focus on the design of a complete HS carbody;
  • BT will concentrate on the headstock carbody section;
  • CAF will work on the design of a structural cabin for a metro;
  • SMO will work on the design of short couple element;
  • TRV will work on the multi-functional optimization tools required to make novel topologies that will fulfil weight reductions while meeting functional constraints on acoustics and vibrations.

These designs will be carried out assuring the fulfilment of the structural and non-structural requirements identified in the technical specifications and according to the assessment methodology. The design will be completed with a weight analysis that will be used to calculate the weight reduction, base of the KPI definition.

WP02 - Carbody- Manufacturing of elementary parts

The main aim of WP2 is to finish the manufacturing engineering and develop the tooling needed for the manufacturing of demonstrator. In this phase manufacturing of each subassembly of the different demonstrators will be carried out. As part of the work also the optimization tools developed in WP1 will be employed to perform numerical designs and experimentations on multi-functional car body subcomponents.

This activity is also closely related with the Workstream 1, 3 and 4 of OC (WS 1: New tooling for composite car body manufacturing, WS 3 Process automation concepts for Composite Carbody Manufacturing it is important to take into account the dimension of the component to dimension tooling and process and WS 4 Process integrating joint concepts and modular concepts for Composite Car body Manufacturing).


WP03 - Carbody- Assembly of Demonstrator and Testing

One of the objectives of WP3 is the assembly of the three demonstrators developed in WP1 and WP2. To check and characterize the prototypes different quality procedures and reports will be performed.

The other objective is to assess the concepts of composites technology on carbodies, as well as the multi-functional optimization tools developed in WP1 and WP2, different testing campaign will be performed over the three demonstrators manufactured.

This WP is also related with WS 2 of OC (Car body Structural Health Monitoring Systems for Composites and for Metal-Composite Interfaces).


WP04 - Carbody – KPI and Homologation activities

WP4 looks to take special attention on KPI defined at the beginning of the Project, therefore the performances in terms of weight and manufacturability will be check in detail. In addition, homologation procedures and long-term activities along the project will be part of this WP.
