ABSTRACT: The digital revolution is happening, transforming
the way we move and produce. Over the last two decades, the European rail
sector has undergone major changes. In view of this situation, the railway
sector is of great importance for the Europeans economy due to its relations
with other sectors (industrial and services) and its intense international
activity. The aim of this study is to analyze
the existing technologies to address the technological challenges identified in
the railway sector, in order to understand their role in the sector’s innovation
processes. The analysis will identify the different solutions offered by the
railway industry in terms of Infrastructure, Rolling Stock and Digital Systems. The study has been carried out under the
RIN-Rail Innovation Network project, funded by the Basque Government in
the Elkartek 2022 programme (KK-2022/00027).
