  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.
