TRAKO is one of the most important trade fairs for rail transport technology in Central and Eastern Europe. The fair recently attracted more than 500 exhibitors and around 23,000 trade visitors.From 19 to 22 September, this year's TRAKO in Gdańsk (Poland) will once again be all about rail transport technology. We are pleased to be represented at TRAKO as the European Railway Clusters Initiative (ERCI). You will find us at the joint stand of the German capital region Berlin-Brandenburg in hall D, stand D24.

The S-ACCESS "Mission to the USA" will include "Railway Interchange" (Indianapolis, Indiana) and "APTA Expo" (Orlando, Florida) as well as a short visit to Canada.

In this STARS tutorial, you will learn about validation and homologation Issues regarding Artificail Intelligence in safety-critical railway applications. 

In this STARS tutorial, you will learn about two of eight Technological Innovation Trends from the Technology Innovation Analysis provided by RAILENIUM and regarding Smart Asset Management/Maintenance of the future and Railways Digital Twin.

The "Meet the Buyers" event will help participating companies to hear directly from the U.S. Buyers about their tender planning, their market needs, the requirements and conditions of the tenders they use, discover the portals where their solicitations are published, etc. to improve the readiness of companies to apply. Representatives of the Procurement Departments of various public (and private) Buyers from Florida (Orlando), Indiana (Indianapolis), Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh) and Ohio are invited as speakers. 

The tutorial is on the mind-boggling challenge of keeping under continuous control the ever-increasing heterogeneous IoT data sources, interfaces and protocols  in your industrial processes and applications. Almost every industrial domain is facing the challenge of dealing with the diversity of sensors and equipment involved. This diversity is fueled by the promising capabilities and performance potential offered by new devices, technologies, interfaces and protocols deployed. Nevertheless, ad-hoc integration may result in systems quickly becoming too complex  and expensive to manage, resulting in counter-productive processes. In this webinar we will be presenting the benefits of introducing an abstraction level through a modular middleware dedicated to the integration of heterogeneous IoT data sources. We will show how to keep under control the integration over time – of adding newer heterogeneous IoT data to existing infrastructures - by leveraging semantics and built-in flexible data modeling.

In this STARS tutorial, you will learn about Advanced Materials utilized in Railway systems. The term advanced materials refer to examples from advanced alloys, technical ceramics, polymers, fiber reinforced composites as well as emerging smart materials and relevant micro/nano fabrication approaches. We will also dive in to the current trends and possible future strategies to decrease carbon foot print and improve sustainability.

In this STARS tutorial, you will learn about two of eight Technological Innovation Trends, from the Technology Innovation Analysis provided by RAILENIUM and regarding to the sustainable and green rail system and freight logistic chain.

In this ERCI/STARS Webinar you will learn about innovative solutions for ensuring cybersecurity for railway passengers and freight.
