THIS month's World Congress on Railway Research (WCRR) hosted by Japan's Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRI) in Tokyo is set to showcase the very best in current rail industry research from around the world. RTRI will inevitably have a major presence. However, the event is also set to mark another milestone in Europe's Shift2Rail joint research initiative. As well as presentations from 16 projects, Shift2Rail is set to present the first edition of a catalogue containing 54 solutions developed within the initiative. The document will be updated annually and according to Shift2Rail's executive director, Mr Carlo Borghini, reflects one of the programme's primary objectives: to develop solutions that are proven and ready for market deployment.
