Civil infrastructure of high speed rail track management system.
Remote monitoring of railway assets (track, stations, bridges) to be done.
Bio-disposable toilets should be designed. (Modular, prefabricated toilet design was shown by RDSO personnel citing the example of Kota railway station).
Engine noise analysis and management: sound proof walls to be designed/optimized.
To develop electrical drives, permanent motors of higher Horse power using silicon carbide based converter, lightweight materials.
To develop foam type materials for noise management, shock absorption and double walled panel.
Vibration issues should be addressed by improving rail wheel dynamics. Upgradation of draft gear, weight optimization wagons should be designed.
Bogies that cause minimum damage to the tracks should be designed. This is required for longer life and durability of tracks.
