Research and Development
RSSB manages research and development (R&D) on behalf of government and the railway industry, in support of short, medium and long term objectives.
Research is focused on industry-wide and strategic research that no individual company or sector of the industry can address on its own. It therefore includes research covering ‘systems’ issues across the whole railway, and the engineering interfaces within the railway, as well as the interfaces with other parts of the community. The research is also instrumental in supporting the development of a future vision for the railways and assessing how that vision can best be delivered.
RSSB’s research capability brings together programme management, project management, technical knowledge, client support services, communications and supply chain expertise from within RSSB, to deliver a range of solutions to the rail industry.
Funding for the research is provided by the Department for Transport
