9th WCRR (World Congress on Railway Research) - May 22-26, 2011 - which will be hosted in Lille
(http://www.wcrr2011.org/).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
Important Dates:
The deadline for the Abstract is May 14, 2010, and is only accepted through online submission.
The WCRR executive committee will make its final selections in October, 2010.
The outcome of the final selection and session designation will be notified through
email on November 2, 2010.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Papers
WCRR 2011 is collecting abstract related to railway technology that will provide interests to railway specialists and researchers worldwide.
The purpose of this 2011 Call for Papers is:
• To promote excellence in submitted abstracts
• To highlight research findings, their innovations and potential for implementation through
direct implementation
• To focus rail research on the needs of customers
• To answer to new challenges for railway research and to prepare for the future
• To build a groundbreaking, attractive, and dynamic programme.
For those interested in submitting an abstract, please refer the Abstract Instruction and put together a two to three page report in English according to the template provided in Abstract Instruction.

Challenges and Topics
We are approaching the issues of railway research first and foremost from the customer's point of view, through eight common and innovative challenges:
A. A more and more energy efficient railway
Further improving rails' green credentials / Keep increasing the relative carbon emission advantage.
B. An environmentally friendly railway
Minimizing rails' impact on communities and neighbours.
C. Increasing freight capacity and services
Providing customers with more services, added value services in the logistics chain.
D. A world of services for passengers
Improved comfort, information, ticketing, services on board, at stations, while travelling. To meet the increasing expectations of customers.
E. Bringing the territories closer together at higher speeds
Affordable reduced travel time , Influence of higher speeds on travel costs , High speed mobility, seamless travel, integration of modes, infrastructures.
F. Even more trains even more on time
More capacity with better performance to meet growing demand.
G. An even more competitive and cost efficient railway
Lower costs, better and more value adding services.
H. For an even safer and more secure railway
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The topics and sub-topics are:
System integration and interaction
• Whole system design and modelling
