The VITE project is part of the European Commission's R&D sector programme aimed at rail transport: Shift2Rail.
Ineco is leading this project, which is aimed at transferring part of the part of the tests which the European rail traffic management system (ERTMS) must be subjected to the laboratory (virtualization). ERTMS is a technology that still lacks flexibility with regard to authorisation and certification procedures. This project seeks to simplify the needs in the placement of service procedures, which reduces costs for the implementation of new subsystems or new software upgrades.
