Project objectives
	The main objectives of the project are to   Increase the transport capacity of exisiting bridges by allowing axle loads up to 33 tonnes for freight traffic with moderate speeds Increase the residual lifetime of existing bridges with up to 25 % Increase the capacity for passenger traffic with low axle loads by increasing the maximum speeds to up to 350 km/hour Enhance strengthening and repair systems The activities within the project will focus on the functional requirements for railway bridges in order to achieve increased capacities required to meet future demands for heavier axle loads and increased traffic levels. Further, the activities will address efficient condition monitoring systems.   The overall goal is to enable the delivery of improved capacity without compromising the safety end economy of the working railway.
