Shift to Rail
|
Si passa al treno
|
11 |
"Shift2Rail" is an ambitious public-private partnership which will manage a 7-year work programme of targeted research and innovation to support the development of better rail services in Europe.
|
“Shift2Rail” è un ambizioso partenariato pubblico-privato che gestirà un programma di lavoro di 7 anni:
|
12 |
It will develop and accelerate the bringing to market of technological breakthroughs.
|
ricerca e innovazione mirate per sostenere lo sviluppo di servizi ferroviari migliori in Europa, stimolando e accelerando l’immissione sul mercato di innovazioni tecnologiche.
|
13 |
With "Shift2Rail", the Commission is more than tripling its financing for rail research and innovation to €450 million (2014-2020) compared to €155 for the previous period.This will be matched by €470 million from the rail industry.
|
Con “Shift2Rail” la Commissione triplica i suoi finanziamenti alla ricerca e all’innovazione nel settore ferroviario per un totale di 450 milioni di euro (2014-2020), rispetto ai 155 milioni stanziati nel periodo precedente, cui si aggiungono i 470 milioni di euro provenienti dall’industria del settore.
|
14 |
The net gains of this long term collaborative approach will give a very substantial boost to innovation in the rail industry, compared to previous co-funding of individual projects.
|
Gli evidenti benefici di questo approccio collaborativo di lungo termine daranno un forte impulso all’innovazione nel settore ferroviario, rispetto al precedente cofinanziamento di singoli progetti.
|
15 |
Shift2Rail aims to deliver: a reduction, by up to 50%, in the life-cycle cost of railway transport (i.e.costs of building, operating, maintaining and renewing infrastructure and rolling stock); an overall increase in capacity of up to 100%; and an overall increase in reliability of up to 50% in the different rail market segments.
|
Shift2Rail intende ridurre fino a dimezzare il costo del ciclo di vita del trasporto ferroviario (ossia i costi relativi alla costruzione, al funzionamento, alla manutenzione e al rinnovamento dell’infrastruttura e del materiale rotabile), aumentare la capacità complessiva fino a raddoppiarla e accrescere l’affidabilità generale fino al 50% nei diversi segmenti del mercato ferroviario.
|
16 |
The research and innovation will focus on five key areas:
|
La ricerca e l’innovazione saranno incentrate su cinque aspetti:
|
17 |
- To improve the quality of services , it will focus on developing a new generation of high capacity trains which are cost-efficient and reliable;
|
- lo sviluppo di una nuova generazione di treni ad alta capacità affidabili ed efficienti sotto il profilo dei costi per migliorare la qualità dei servizi;
|
18 |
- To increase capacity and get more trains running on the same lines – it will develop better intelligent traffic management and control systems;
|
- lo sviluppo di migliori sistemi intelligenti di controllo e di gestione del traffico per aumentare la capacità e il numero di treni che circolano sulle stesse linee;
|
19 |
- To provide reliable, high quality, infrastructure, including reducing track noise, cutting costs and developing intelligent maintenance
|
- un’infrastruttura affidabile e di elevata qualità, con binari meno rumorosi, riducendo i costi e sviluppando una manutenzione intelligente;
|
20 |
- To provide integrated ticketing and journey planners – it will develop innovative IT solutions and services;
|
- lo sviluppo di soluzioni e servizi informatici innovativi per fornire servizi integrati di biglietteria e di pianificazione del viaggio;
|
21 |
- To allow rail to compete effectively in more markets, it will develop better logistics and inter-modal freight solutions, so rail can connect better with other forms of transport.
|
- lo sviluppo di migliori soluzioni logistiche e intermodali per il trasporto delle merci, in modo che il treno sia meglio collegato agli altri modi di trasporto e possa competere con successo in più mercati.
|
22 |
The establishment of a rail joint undertaking – a public-private partnership called Shift2Rail – will enable the pooling of public and private resources to focus on research activities critical to delivering the Single European Railway Area and to supporting the competitiveness of the rail sector as a whole, creating jobs and boosting exports.
|
La costituzione di un’impresa comune nel trasporto ferroviario, ossia il partenariato pubblico-privato “Shift2Rail”, consentirà di convogliare risorse pubbliche e private sulle attività di ricerca fondamentali per realizzare lo spazio ferroviario europeo unico e per sostenere la competitività dell’intero settore ferroviario, creando posti di lavoro e incrementando le esportazioni.
|
23 |
The project will involve virtually all of Europe’s rail industry suppliers, including innovative small and medium enterprises, to accelerate the development of new technologies and bring them to the market.
|
Il progetto coinvolgerà quasi tutti i fornitori dell’industria ferroviaria europea, in particolare le piccole e medie imprese innovative, al fine di accelerare lo sviluppo di nuove tecnologie e di introdurle sul mercato.
|
24 |
It will also involve rail operators and infrastructure managers in order to ensure that research activities are aligned to market needs.
|
Verranno coinvolti anche gli operatori ferroviari e i gestori dell’infrastruttura per assicurare che le attività di ricerca siano in linea con le esigenze del mercato.
|
25 |
To date, rail equipment manufacturers Alstom, Ansaldo STS, Bombardier, Siemens, Thales and CAF, as well as infrastructure managers Trafikverket and Network Rail, have already confirmed that they will each make a contribution of at least €30 million to the Shift2Rail initiative (total €270 million).
|
Ad oggi, i costruttori di materiale ferroviario Alstom, Ansaldo STS, Bombardier, Siemens, Thales e CAF, nonché i gestori dell’infrastruttura Trafikverket e Network Rail hanno già confermato che contribuiranno individualmente all’iniziativa Shift2Rail con almeno 30 milioni di euro (per un totale di 270 milioni).
