Centre of Excellence in Digital Systems

The Centre of Excellence in Digital Systems is part of the UK Rail Research and Innovation Network (UKRRIN), a network of Centres supporting new innovation in rail transport. The centre focuses on all aspects of Digital Railway Innovation, providing a system-wide approach to transforming research, development and innovation. Initial areas of technological focus will include:
Railway Control and Operations Simulation
The Centre of Excellence in Digital Systems at the University of Birmingham brings together existing academic and industry capabilities.
Data Integration and Cybersecurity
BCRRE investigates the use of electronic information in the transport domain using the collection and structured storage of raw data.
Condition Monitoring and Sensing
BCRRE’s far-reaching work develops bespoke instrumentation and processing systems to measure and predict the health of railway subsystems.
