The Smart Rail innovation field addresses at least three global mega-trends: urbanization, ecologization and digitalization. Innovations in this field have the potential to make a major contribution to sustainable mobility and at the same time to the economic success of all companies involved in the value chain of rail transport, both at national and international level. However, the realisation of the various innovation possibilities is particularly challenging in view of the special features of rail transport (longevity of systems, approval issues, etc.) and the pronounced need for interdisciplinary cooperation.<\/p>\n

In order to promote and realise innovations in this field, the project relies on a specific infrastructure with a unique selling point: Europe’s first digital interlocking at the site and the availability of the topographically challenging (test) line Annaberg-Buchholz-Schwarzenberg. In addition, there is a successful project history and a multitude of potential network partners. Together, they form the basis for the establishment of a “digital test field Erzgebirge”, using the railway infrastructure of the Erzgebirgsbahn and the intended development into a leading centre for research, development, testing and qualification for approval for the railway traffic of the future.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the project links many actors with different competencies into a network: in various fields of technology, regional SMEs, start-ups, large companies, regional and supraregional research institutions and municipalities work together. The network enables interdisciplinary, open and agile innovation processes characterised by trusting, fair cooperation. Large companies and research institutions benefit from the infrastructure of the “digital test field Erzgebirge” and the agility of the SMEs and start-ups. They enrich the region by giving their players access to excellent research, development and market competence.
This creates a new quality of a regional innovation system – which can initially make a decisive contribution to successful regional change in the innovation field of Smart Rail and, in the future, in other fields.<\/p>\n

In summary, the “Smart Rail Connectivity Campus” alliance is pursuing the following vision in building the research campus for 2030:<\/p>\n
