The transition to more sustainable mobility systems is one of the main priorities of the European Green Pact, which aims to make Europe the first carbon-neutral continent by 2050. Railways have a crucial role to play in this, but it is essential to ensure the safety and serviceability of the network, in particular of key structures such as bridges.

Researchers from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Construction of the Universitat Jaume I de Castelló are participating in the InBrigde4EU project, an initiative funded by the EU under the Horizon Europe programme, which is working on the revision and improvement of the normative criteria used in the Structural Eurocodes and TSIs (Technical Specifications for Interoperability) to assess the dynamic behaviour of railway bridges.  
The expected results of this project will harmonise standards and working methods by achieving a more accurate prediction of bridge performance indicators under service conditions. In this way, improvements in railway infrastructure will contribute to the transfer of traffic to other more polluting modes, such as road transport, and to sustainability.

In addition, the experimental information and numerical simulations will allow the systematisation and organisation of databases that will be useful in the future for the development of new research projects and engineering tasks related to the design of new bridges and the evaluation of the structural integrity of existing ones, and will strengthen the adoption of a more scientific and informed decision-making philosophy in the management of the bridge complex.

Researchers Lola Martínez-Rodrigo, Emmanuela Moliner Cabedo, Carlos Rodrigo Villar and Víctor Roda Casanova, from the UJI's Department of Mechanical Engineering and Construction, will be responsible for identifying the critical parameters of bridges in order to assess the economic impact of new dynamic train categories. Specifically, they will collect and store in a database information on representative bridges from nine lines in five different EU countries, such as their dynamic response.

The project team consists of the Universidade do Porto (Portugal) as coordinator, the universities of Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (Sweden), Politécnica de Madrid (Spain) and Huddersfield (UK); the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) (Germany) and the companies DB NETZ AG (Germany) and Acoustique et Virations Logiciels Scientifiques (France) as partners; and the Spanish universities Politècnica de València, Jaume I de Castelló and Sevilla and the public company ADIF as associates.

This project has been funded by the European Rail Joint Undertaking under the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme, Grant Agreement No. 101121765 (HORIZON-ER-JU-2022-ExplR-02).
