What is “AUTOMAIN”?
• Acronym (Augmented Usage of Track by Optimization of
Maintenance, Allocation and Inspection of railway
Networks) for a project focussed on railway maintenance
and inspection started on February 2nd 2011
• Partly funded by FP7 of the European Commission
Research department
• Time scale: 2011-2014, 36 months
• Budget: 3.8 M€, 2.5M€ EC-funding
• EC funding for EFRTC € 62,364
• EFRTC total effort 4,4 man.month over three years
• No co-funding by EFRTC budget required

Projects’ objectives
• Objective 1: To adopt best practice from other industries in
maintenance optimisation (e.g. highways, aerospace…).
• Objective 2: To develop novel track inspection approaches for
freight routes.
• Objective 3: To research and assess innovations that have the
potential to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of large
scale maintenance processes (e.g. grinding and tamping).
• Objective 4: To further develop key technologies that will drive
the development of modular infrastructure design; Focus on:
switch maintenance, track inspection, tamping and grinding.
• Objective 5: To develop a new maintenance planning and
scheduling tool that is able to optimise the programme of
required maintenance activities
