The TRain Charter
By the TRain Charter we shall mean a document which spells out:
- Aims & Objectives:
- What does the TRain Consorium wish to achieve, why, how, by whom, etc.
- Instrumentation:
- The way in which the TRain Effort is instrumented - how it is going to
achieve its aims & objectives - by computing as well as transportation
scientists, rail infrastructure owners, train operators, railway
technologists, operations researchers, international rail-related
associations, etc.
The TRain is thus expected to spell out :
- The organisational structure of the TRain Consortium:
- Presidium - its role
- Board - its role
- Membership - their roles
- Committees - their roles
- Secretariat - its role
- TRain activities:
- Individual and joint research
- Publications: Reports, proceedings, books, possibly a journal (?)
- Workshops - as organised and sponsored by one or more Committees
- ...
- National and International Liasion:
- With national and international rail infrastructyre owners
- With national and international train operators
- With national, regional and international railway related R&D projects
- With regional and international standards organisations
- With national, regional and international railway associations...
- Etcetera
The TRain Charter is like "The Constitution" of the
TRain Consortium, something to which members "swear allegiance~!".
More text - as well as The Charter itself to become available soon.
We should strive for an "ultra-short" Charter document!
