This paper gives a general review of the railway industry in the UK and then describes the background and development of two centre of excellence for railway research. Rail research UK (RRUK) is the universities' centre for railway systems research, based on collaboration between thirteen railway focused research groups' and funded by EPSRC. RRUK started in May 2003 and aims to create a virtual rresearch centre bringing together a range of multi-disciplinary skills from eight different universities, EURNEX is the European rail research network of excellence with 67 members (including RRUK), mainly European universities but also including the main railway sector associations in Europe. EURNEX started in January 2004 and is funded by the European commission for a four-year period. The paper then describes some of the challenges facing railway operations and the contribution that these centres can make. It goes on to suggest that greater value will be obtained by combining shared knowledge with a systems engineering approach. A systems model will provide both a practical tool for understanding the railway system and also a framework that can help to identify the gaps in knowledge, and the priorities for research, that will ultimaely help the achievement of a more reliable, cost effective and safe railway system |
