New KTPs for Modelling and simulation in the rail industry
The Technology Strategy Board and the RSSB, the rail industry body for research and development, are to invest up to £1m to establish new Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) in the area of modelling and simulation, as it is applied to the rail transport sector.
Funds are available to support up to 12 KTPs across the UK, to raise the profile of KTP in the rail industry (where it is currently under-represented), and to help the UK gain a greater share of the expanding global rail market, by translating the UK’s academic strengths in this area into commercial success.
By supporting high-quality KTPs that meet challenges in the rail sector through the use of modelling, simulation and synthetic environments, the aim is to help reduce the cost and risk involved in developing innovative products and services.
If you are working with, or aware of a company looking to apply innovative capabilities in modelling and simulation to any product or service relevant to the rail industry please contact Paul Cihlar
