The proposed project focuses on the complex issues of rail transport automation, particularly transitioning from the current automation level GoA 2 to the fully autonomous GoA 4. The project will thoroughly analyse the processes and safety requirements essential for this transition while assessing the operational efficiency and feasibility of full autonomy. The core objectives include evaluating the technical and safety aspects of fully autonomous rail systems, determining the suitability of eliminating human operators, and collecting data for optimizing Automatic Train Operation (ATO) systems. Special attention will be given to decision-making modules within on-board ATO systems that utilize data from ETCS (or other ATP - automatic train protection) and ATO trackside components. These modules are not being developed but leveraged as tools to collect and analyse critical data about the behaviour of autonomous systems. The project builds on the current research in autonomous and intelligent transportation systems, reflecting global efforts to modernize railway infrastructure, increase capacity, reduce human error, and improve environmental impacts. The outcomes will be valuable for academia, regulatory standard development, and practical implementation in autonomous railway systems. Moreover, the project will support education and training in traffic management and automation at the Faculty of Transportation Sciences.

doc. Ing. Vít Fábera, Ph.D.; Ing. Tomáš Musil, Ph.D.

The main aim of the project is development of the function prototype of the "Intelligent End of Train" and their function verification in real conditions. In particular, its transmission, measuring, control and power supply systems will be implemented and verified under the operating conditions of rail freight transport. The resulting functional prototype should contain components and functional algorithms to enable the realisation of a prototype and mass production of a commercial product to be deployed as an interoperable system on EU railways.

The project is focused on application research dealing with the introduction of systematic training of train drivers in the Czech Republic with the support of rail vehicle simulators. Their use in training and demonstration of qualification is a very important and effective tool, which has been used in many European countries for a long time and is also recommended by the European Directive 2007/59 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council. The use of simulators in the process of driver training should serve not only to increase safety in railway operations, but also to facilitate the training of new drivers or the retraining of existing ones to new technologies and procedures (in particular ERTMS / ETCS). The main subject of the project is the creation of a methodology enabling the introduction of systematic training and verification of the qualifications of drivers in the Czech Republic. The outputs of this project will be directly applicable to the legislative process of obtaining and verifying the professional competence of drivers and will serve as the basic specifications for the systematic introduction of this process in the Czech Republic.

Hlavním cílem projektu je ověřit aplikační potenciál výsledků VaV, za pomoci aktivit proof of concept nalézt konkrétní průmyslově uplatnitelná řešení a připravit jejich následné komerční využití. Stávající podpůrné nástroje ČVUT budou doplněny o nástroj nový – fond, z něhož budou aktivity proof of concept podporovány. Dalším cílem projektu je pak nastartovat a ustálit mechanismus postupného nahrazování projektem poskytnutých prostředků prostředky vlastními, získanými z úspěšně komercializovaných výsledků a fundraisingem, a zajistit tak nejen dlouhodobou udržitelnost systému aktivní podpory uplatnění výsledků s aplikačním potenciálem, ale díky zviditelnění úspěšně komercializovaných řešení pozitivně formovat myšlení zaměstnanců a studentů ČVUT k uplatňování výsledků v praxi.

Projekt je zaměřen na provedení detailní analýzy, rozboru (technické, legislativní a ekonomické) problematiky zajištění přechodu interoperabilních vozidel na regionální tratě za definovaných podmínek technických a bezpečnostních parametrů. Na základě této analýzy bude vypracována certifikovaná metodika, která má zajistit jednoznačný postup k definování požadavků a kritérií (zejména ekonomické, technické a bezpečnostní požadavky), které musí být zváženy a následně stanoveny a vymáhány pro zajištění provozuschopného aplikování požadavků TSI a umožnění tak provozování interoperabilních vozidel na regionálních tratích.

There are quite a lot of publications dealing with checking structures both application dependent and independent but in a theoretically way. During completing my dissertation thesis, focused on a design of a system with high demands for safety and reliability, I encountered an absence of a concrete solution on the implementation level. The aim of the project is a practical design and an implementation of application independent checking structures and to verify their reliability both testing stimuli and in operation process. Testing structures will be designed for Xilinx Virtex-4 and Virtex-5 FPGAs, which correspond the best with my dissertation thesis requirements. Besides using the project accomplishments in my dissertation thesis I assume a presentation of them at the Euromicro 2011 conference.

The project focuses on research and development of changing the 714 locomotive series propeller by submitting diesel engines for engines using CNG, by fixing the fuel and exhaust tube, by changing the system of engine cooling and operational liquids and by installing CNG gas bottles. The realization of the project will make lowering of the locomotive fuel operating cost possible. Better parameters are also achieved with these applications considering the environment by decreasing discharged emissions in exhaust fumes (CO, NOx) and by decreasing noisiness.
