The program will make it possible to determine the costs of train operation on the track, as well as improving the cost of the train life cycle. This project will also allow the analysis of the impact that incorporating technological innovations will have on trains. The researchers are also working to ensure that the cost of rail vehicle construction and delivery time is reduced by 20%, thus increasing the manufacturer's competitiveness.

To that end, they will improve prediction via simulation and optimize the design of the rail car’s suspension, which will result in greater comfort and safety for passengers while minimizing the damage that trains do to the track. The complementarity of the consortium partners will guarantee that the project's results will transfer to industry, thus laying the foundations for the construction of trains with higher standards of quality, comfort and safety.
