RAPPORT - Real-time Accurate Positioning & Protection of Rail Transport

RAPPORT是一个工业研究项目，旨在开发技术解决方案，以减少英国铁路的中断和延误。RAPPORT项目将与主要行业合作伙伴和学术机构（包括Network Rail、Arriva Rail North、Icomera UK和利兹大学运输研究所）合作，开发并帮助将一套创新和革命性的技术工具推向市场，这些工具将改变对列车位置和运行的运营意识。通过利用增强的位置信息和交互式地图，RAPPORT将提供具有实际操作效益的可用工具。这些措施包括加快对铁路事故和紧急情况的反应时间；向使用者使用的过道口的信号员提供补充资料，以便更准确地了解列车位置，作出更佳的决策；通过更深入地了解事件造成的实时延迟，改进服务恢复程序。通过将创新技术引入合作伙伴提供的现有系统，该项目将提供高价值、低成本、最先进产品的现场试验，并立即使用，使铁路网络、用户乃至整个英国经济受益。

RAPPORT is an industrial research project developing technology solutions to reduce disruption and delays in UK rail. Working in collaboration with key industry partners and academic institutions including Network Rail, Arriva Rail North, Icomera UK and Leeds University Institute for Transport Research, the RAPPORT project will develop and help bring to market a suite of innovative and revolutionary technology tools that will transform operational awareness of train locations and movements. Through the exploitation of enhanced location information and interactive mapping, RAPPORT will deliver useable tools with practical operational benefits. These include accelerating accident and emergency response times to rail incidents; providing supplementary information to signallers at User-Worked Crossings to enable more accurate train location awareness and better decision making; improving service recovery procedures by presenting deeper insights into real-time delays caused by incidents. By introducing innovative technology to existing systems provided by collaboration partners, the project will deliver a live trial of high value, low cost, state-of-the-art products with immediate use and benefit to the rail network, its users and moreover to the UK economy as a whole.
