EUDD plus

The project EUDDplus aims at the development, in-field testing and validation of the interoperable, harmonised and modularised train driver’s desk. It represents the logical and necessary link between the successful FP 5 project European Driver’s Desk (EUDD) and the large-scale exploitation of that driver’s desk concept, advanced in ergonomics, safety and LCC, which was an important “crystallisation point” for the MODTRAIN IP. Simultaneously, the EUDDplus shall use the findings of the just ended IP MODTRAIN, in which the EUCAB working area elaborates the harmonised driver’s cab system requirements specs (SyRS) of the future.

TUB will support the coordinator FAV in terms of cost benefit analysis and LCC, the Berlin University of Technology has been chosen to assess the use their experience within this field to further develop their LCC tool. Being then applicable to EUDDplus conditions, it shall enable the comparability of EUDD, MODTRAIN, InteGRail and EUDDplus results in terms of their economic effects and constraints.
