ETALON (Energy harvesting for signalling and communication systems)...
is a Shift2Rail IP2 Open Call project within the Horizon 2020 Programmme
of the European Commission.
ETALON will contribute to the enhancement
of train integrity functionalities, providing a suitable energy supply
for on-board train integrity and a robust radio communication system between vehicles that
could be the basis for a train integrity check.
ETALON will also contribute to the reduction of cost, providing an energy
harvesting solution for Smart Radio connected wayside objects and implementing
an off-board radio communication system with object controllers
that could minimize trackside infrastructure, particularly cabling.
Etalon is structured in 7 work packages that covers
all the essential aspects of an R&D project: Management (WP1),
Design & Specification (WP2), Development (WP3/WP4/WP6),
Validation & Test (WP5), and Exploitation & Dissemination (WP7).
