URBAN TRACK Issued: 12/08/2008<br />
Quality checked and approved by project co-ordinator André Van Leuven<br />
A principal target of SP6 is to promote knowledge, stimulate debate and reach consensus -<br />
Europe wide - on the URBANTRACK concepts, methodologies, tools and recommendations<br />
developed by the project at different stages of definition throughout the entire project duration.<br />
In order to achieve these objectives, two types of networks were put in place, one of operators<br />
managed by UITP, the other of suppliers by UNIFE.<br />
In order to extend the consensus building process beyond the operators who are direct<br />
Consortium members, an URBANTRACK Network of Operators of Metro and Light Rail, led<br />
by UITP, has been created. SP6 is the subproject within URBANTRACK created in order to<br />
manage this Group.<br />
To increase industry involvement, currently limited to one major supplier and a few small-<br />
medium sized companies, an URBANTRACK Network of Industries led by UNIFE, is in the<br />
process of being created.<br />
This Report presents the constitution of the Network of Operators, the results of the starting<br />
meetings, the subcontract as well as the method of work and the status of the working plan to<br />
be developed by the Network during the project lifetime. It also presents the current status of<br />
the Network of Industries (not yet commenced), plans for meetings, proposed constitution,<br />
subcontracting details and work plan for the project’s duration.<br />
0.2. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED<br />
The Network of Industries has been delayed due to ongoing discussions over the composition<br />
of the network, cooperation of consortium partners in disseminating information / results and<br />
general issues of competition and confidentiality. No meeting has taken place to date. It is<br />
anticipated that agreement will be reached in the beginning of the third year on the issues<br />
mentioned and the Network will commence with its first meeting in the first quarter of year 3.<br />
0.3. PARTNERS INVOLVED AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION<br />
UITP manages the Network of Operators.<br />
UNIFE leads the Network of Industries.
