How can the S2R Technical Developments be implemented

This deliverable will look at current EU regulations relating to the rail sector and investigate how the structure of these aid/hinder the introduction of new technologies and ideas. Regulatory bottlenecks that exist relating to the process of preparing regulations along with the updating processes and intervals will be assessed and methods as to how these can be overcome will be suggested. The impact of the regulations thus far will be assessed. An assessment of the new technologies being tested in line with the various technical demonstrators will be made. This will include a technical assessment of the various technologies to be tested, and what the cost effectiveness, added value, and sustainability of these will be. The use of expertise within the consortium and expert interviews with external parties will be used in order to form opinions on these topics.
