In this project a new software tool is developed for the calculation of the dry rail dispersion factors (Kdry) to be configured in the on-board ERTMS systems. The tool uses Montecarlo method to obtain the variability in the braking curve as a function of the uncertainty in the application of the different train braking systems.

Research topics:
• Design of signalling and transport capacity
