MOVINGRAIL (Shift2Rail EU H2020 funded project)
The project MOVINGRAIL has been granted to TU Delft by the Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking of the European Commission as winner of the open call S2R-OC-IP2-01-2018. MOVINGRAIL applies a multidimensional analysis framework to facilitate the development of train-centric signalling from the operational, technological and business perspectives. Next-generation signalling technologies such as Moving Block and Virtual Coupling are the focus of this project, featuring hands-on cooperation with many of the most prominent European railway companies to step forward into the future of digital high-performance railway operations. Innovative testing methods for Moving Block signalling will be developed while a detailed feasibility study of the cutting-edge Virtual Coupling concept will be performed to understand its applicability to different segments of the railway market. In MOVINGRAIL, Egidio leads the work stream on Business Analysis of Virtual Coupling.

Digital Railway (UK national programme funded by the Department For Transport)
Egidio has successfully led the work stream on requirements for built infrastructures to enable digitalisation of railway operations on the UK network. Also, Egidio was involved as a main consultant by the railway infrastructure manager Network Rail to investigate on the impact of advanced signalling (ETCS Level 2 and 3) and train control technologies (traffic management system, ATO and DAS) on railway capacity, punctuality and energy efficiency.

Capacity4Rail (EU FP7 funded project)
Egidio was leader of the sub-project on "Operations for Enhanced Capacity" managing a team of 7 international institutions including research institutions, universities, railway and software companies. Outcomes of this projects includes advanced tools for automatic and optimised strategic and operational railway traffic planning, improved strategies for managing railway disruptions due to extreme weather events, a roadmap for increasing automation levels in European railways, a web-based semantic architecture to support traffic controllers and customers during disruptions of public transport systems.ON-TIME (EU FP7 funded project). The ON-TIME project developed and tested in a realistic simulation environment pioneering models for optimised, robust, automatic planning and management of railway traffic including advanced driving decision support tools to minimise train energy consumption. Egidio was one of the main contributors to develop, test and integrate algorithms for real-time traffic management and optimal timetabling, also dealing with the complex problem of fusion and standardisation of railway data to feed models/algorithms and support operational decisions.

SITRAM (national Italian project funded by the Ministry of Innovation and Research)
The project dealt with investing novel signalling technologies and traffic control policies to improve punctuality and energy efficiency of tram services. Egidio worked on implementing simulation models reproducing interactions between trams and passengers at platforms as well as between trams and car traffic on shared road sections.

Strategic Transport Plan of KAEC (Ansaldo STS)
The project was about developing a transport model for the newly built city of KAEC (King Abdullah Economic City) in Saudi Arabia, on the red sea. Egidio was involved in the implementation of an extensive transport model including both demand and supply, to support the strategic planning of the public transport system and main freight corridors of the new city.

Consulting projects on railway timetabling and operation analysis
Egidio has been involved as a consultant in several projects all around Europe mainly focusing on optimisation and design of railway timetables and improved strategies for effective real-time train operations.
