Scope of the project:

A consortium of railway industry, technology suppliers, research institutes, as well as standardisation- and testing organisations work together on a practical link between AI-procedures and the requirements and approval processes in the railway environment. One focus lies on the development of standardised test methods- and tools, to ensure approval-relevant product safety for a broad use of fully autonomous trains.

The safe.trAIn project is the first official lighthouse project of the standardisation roadmap Artificial Intelligence Version 1.

Duration: 01/2022 – 12/2024

Project partners:

• Siemens AG (Koordinator)

• Siemens Mobility GmbH (technischer Koordinator)

• DIN e. V.

• BIT Technology Solutions GmbH

• Bridgefield GmbH

• Edge Case Research GmbH

• ITQ GmbH

• Merantix Labs GmbH

• Virtual Vehicle Research GmbH

• Verband der TÜV e. V.

• Fraunhofer IKS

• Hochschule Düsseldorf

• Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg

• Verband der Elektrotechnik Elektronik Informationstechnik e. V.

• Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (assoziiert)

Various standardisation and networking activities are planned as part of the project, about which we would like to provide information here.

Networking activities - User groups

The aim of the planned user groups is to connect relevant stakeholders and to establish an informative exchange on topics in the field of functional safety, AI, and railway. Besides networking and the discussion of approaches, possibilities, initial Use Cases, effects of the AI Acts etc., there will also be a particular focus on the identification of standardisation needs and possible transfer to standardisation.

An active participation of interested experts is desired. We look forward to hearing from you!

The following user group will be initiated as part of the project:

Transfer to standardisation

Results from the project are to be transferred to standardisation activities.
