Goals and Objectives

In the context of integration of traditional tramway systems with metropolitan hybrid solutions tram-train type (Light Rail Transit, LRT), the SISTER project aims at combining the concepts of rail safety with a higher operative automation level, guaranteed by innovative signaling solutions. The solutions developed within the SISTER project will allow significant improvements in capacity in LRT systems together with the assurance of fast, safe and efficient journeys.

Design of a solution that will improve safety in LRT mode by the development, integration and validation of three innovative actions:
- An innovative signaling system;
- A new remote sensing radar with a high reliability level;
- An innovative communication system based on radio broadband resilient to interferences.

The maturity level of the solution will be evaluated in a partner gate in order to make the necessary corrections to develop a final demonstrator.
