The EuRoMain
project intends to fully define and specify a complete maintenance
support system for railways, which will allow to remotely monitor
and diagnose complex systems aboard trains and inside fixed plants,
automatically link real-time data with suitable technical documentation,
retrieving it in standard format from a distributed database, and
ubiquitously present the appropriate information to final Users,
by means of a complete set of tools. Prototype hardware and software
modules will be developed and validated, integrating them within
the communication infrastructure developed by the TrainCom project
(IST-1999-20096).
The results will include proposals for new standards, allowing interoperability
between different countries, systems and operators, and paving the
way for a new maintenance organisation in Europe.
