Sammanfattning:
The Swedish deregulated railway is composed of several different stakeholders, with individual objectives and strategies to manage, operate, and maintain their assets. Simultaneously, the development of the Railway system is highly dependent on collaborative processes and tools, which facilitate implementation of innovations in the overall asset management. When the OECD evaluates Sweden’s politics regarding innovation, the conclusions from a SWOT-analysis states that one of nine threats to the
Swedish competitiveness is difficulties in transferring technology between research and industry [1]. One major prerequisite for an effective implementation and innovation process is the enablement of a collaborative environment.

To achieve smooth implementation of new research and innovation, the railway stakeholders, need to develop means for testing of new technology and innovative solutions. To achieve this, Luleå Railway Research center (JVTC) at Luleå University of Technology (LTU) have developed a framework called ‘Railway 4.0’, with a corresponding testbed called ‘Testbed Railway’. The framework and the testbed aim to facilitate establishment of a digitalised railway and enable enhanced decision-making through big data analytics. Testbed Railway is a platform aimed for transparent and replicable testing, validation and verification of of scientific theories, development of computing tools (hardware and software), and new technologies. Hence, this poster
describes the constitution and materialization of the ‘Testbed Railway’.
