Learning Outcomes

As part of this module, the students get to know the players in rail transport in Europe and get an insight into the development processes of rail vehicles. A number of methods that are used in the development process of rail vehicles, e.g. lifecycle cost analysis, are introduced and illustrated using practical examples. Furthermore, the legal framework for the approval and acceptance of rail vehicles in the European context will be examined.

Content

The development process of rail vehicles is rather complex as a lot of boundary conditions must be taken into account. Safety is the top priority of the railway system the therefore high demands are placed on new rail vehicles. In addition there are of course other aspect such as the costs, the reliability or the passenger comfort. The legal framework is no longer mainly set by the national governments, but more and more by the European Union with the goal of a European railway market as uniform as possible. This complex profile of requirements must be handled and put into practice by railway engineers. The following aspects are the focus of this course: • Overview of players in the European railway market • Procurement processes of rail vehicles from A to Z • Legal framework of the rail vehicle approval and acceptance procedure • Reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) engineering • Lifecycle-oriented engineering for rail vehicles • Failure Mode and Effects Analysis in the context of rail vehicles • Analysis of patents • Test procedures and test benches for rail vehicles
