The purpose of the Quality and Risk Plan is to provide detailed process requirements with respect to the day-to-day project management and on the particular practical aspects of the project development, including report production procedures, criteria for work progression and results performance measurement. This deliverable shall be used by all the project partners in order to ensure quality assurance of project processes and outputs and prevent possible deviations from the project work plan.

A DMP describes the data management life cycle for the data to be collected, processed and/or generated by a project.

This deliverable provides a description of the meaning of the Ground Truth and the Digital Map concepts and of the user needs related to them. Such user needs have been contextualized in the context of the ERTMS train position and odometry principles and the interoperability performance requirements specified in Subset 041. Some practical use cases that can get benefits from the Ground Truth and the Digital Map have been also described with qualitative and quantitative examples.

It also provides indications on the types of measurement equipment selected.

Specification and Description of the Measurement Infrastructure” provides a general overview of the RAILGAP measurement environment and a detailed description of the measurement configuration settings and measurement procedures to collect the measurement information introduced into the deliverable D3.1.

This deliverable provides the Electrical and Mechanical Design of the RAILGAP measurement infrastructure. Starting with the analysis of the main relevant standards applicable in the european railway context, the deliverable reports the electrical and mechanical drawings that have been realized to support the installation of the RAILGAP on-board measurement subsystem on the three different measurement trains (i.e. two in Italy and one in Spain)

The document contains first introduction to each of the sensor technologies that are considered in RAILGAP and the key important elements for the use of the sensors for different use cases related to localization systems and for the main goals of RAILGAP on the elaboration of railway ground truth and digital map generations. This deliverable covers different aspects, error isolation techniques, modeling methodologies and initial results for some of the sensors in this first phase

This deliverable discusses potential sensor Fault Detection and Discard (FDD) methods suitable for the Railgap architecture. It represents the first of three layers of fault protection. By applying these FDDs, the probability of sensor faults for GNSS, IMU, Lidar and camera is limited and the input for the sensor fusion algorithm is protected.

Deliverable D4.4 summarizes the designs and relevant methods to perform the multi-sensor fusion. This deliverable is focused on the general fusion algorithms considering that sensor fault detection, discard algorithms and multi-sensor fault detection and exclusion techniques developed in other activities of the project are applied, providing a more robust and reliable sensor fusion solution.

This deliverable defines the architectural characteristics and the the main functionalities related to the functional blocks of the RAILGAP infrastructure: the On-Board Measurement (OBM) Unit and the Trackside Data Collector (TDC) Unit, also called Trackside Diagnostic Collector. Furthermore it defines the interfaces between OBM and TDC and between TDC and the data consumers (i.e., Technology Characterization, Digital Map, and Ground Truth).

This deliverable specifies the requirements of the On-Board Measurement (OBM) Unit and outlines the equipment implemented on the trial vehicles.

This deliverable specifies the requirements of the Trackside Data Collector (TDC) Unit, also called Trackside Diagnostic Collector. It also outlines Mission Log Files naming scheme and the file system structure used for their storage in the data repository.

This deliverable describes the development of the Measurement infrastructure that include (a) both the on-board measurement environment and the Trackside Central Collector, (b) the configurations required for allowing its installation and put in service and (c) the measurement procedures required for collecting measurements in accordance with the specification. This task also addresses the description and the setup of the facilities for enabling the transfers of the measurements from the on-board measurement environment to the Trackside Central Collector service and (c) the measurement procedures required for collecting measurements in accordance with the specification.
