Projects

Currently, when the world is facing the solution of a significant question within the area of environmental policy, ČD Cargo is becoming an important player within the area of effective transport of various types of materials within the whole Europe.

Considering the aim to create effective transport within the whole European network it is necessary that ČD Cargo participates in the solution of various projects, which may introduce to the company extensive knowledge within the area of science, research, active employment politics, and other areas, not only within the railway transport.

Implementation of the projects in ČDC takes place in various areas, and the participation represents a great contribution to the company.  ČD Cargo in cooperation with various institutes, from the Czech Republic and abroad, participates in various projects focusing on increasing the quality of provided services and at the same time due to the projects, ČD Cargo is becoming more competitive in the European market of railway transport.

Support of the projects

ČD Cargo, during the creation and implementation of individual projects, tries to receive a support from various external sources, in particular the funds financed from the EU, but not limited to. ČD Cargo in these projects operates as an independent applicant, when the project is resolved by the ČDC employees from the beginning, and also as a partner within the consortium comprising of the Czech and International partners.

SmartRail – Automated analysis of operational rail freight traffic data

Program title: Programme for support of applied research, experimental development, and innovation in the field of transport – DOPRAVA 2020+ (hereinafter referred to as "the Programme")

Project title: SmartRail – Automated analysis of operational rail freight traffic data (hereinafter referred to as the "Project")

This project is co-funded by the European Union on the basis of a resolution of the Government of the Czech Republic

Basic information on the Programme

Within the framework of the Programme for support of applied research, experimental development, and innovation in the field of transport – DOPRAVA 2020+, co-funded by the European Union, whose managing body is the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic, ČD Cargo has joined the application for financial support for the implementation of the Project Automated analysis of operational rail freight traffic data as another applicant.

The aim of the Programme is to develop the transport sector through the outputs, results and impacts of the supported projects in a way that reflects societal needs, accelerates the technological and knowledge development of the country, and thus to contribute to the growth of the Czech Republic's competitiveness. The planned allocation of the Programme for 2020 – 2026 is CZK 1.95 billion. The expected average intensity of support for individual projects is 80%.

Project description

The main objective of the Project is to develop the "SmartAnalytics" methodology as a support for achieving higher economic profitability and safety of (freight) rail traffic. The methodology specifies the relevant procedures and methods needed to perform continuous automated analyses of selected rail freight operational data. These analyses will allow for timely operational vehicle defects (based on their detection and/or prediction) and detection of problem areas on the infrastructure or in the handling of wagons. The methodology will be validated on a larger case study.

This Project is implemented in cooperation with the University of Pardubice, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics (the main beneficiary).

The total estimated cost of the Project is CZK 6.72 million. The subsidy for the entire Project amounts to CZK 5.38 million with the proportional part for ČD Cargo CZK 1.19 million. The implementation of the Project should be completed by December 31, 2025, in accordance with the terms of the Programme.
