The Danish Council for Strategic Research has granted DKK 16.8m to a new four-year research project within the area of rail transport. The purpose of the project is to investigate how the railway system can become more punctual and robust and thereby make more people take the train. The title of the project is RobustRailS - Robustness in Railway Operations and it is collaboration between ten national and international partners from the university sector and the railway industry. From DTU four departments participate: DTU Management Engineering, DTU Informatics, DTU Transport and DTU Fotonik.
