The project aim is to enhance Railway Vehicles Centre of Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Kraljevo (University of Kragujevac, Serbia) potentials for railway vehicles research according to contemporary industry needs. The Centre is leading Serbian institution in the field of railway vehicles investigation and testing, providing research and development services to Serbian wagon factories (major Serbian wagon factory is also at Kraljevo) and Serbian Railways (national railway operator). It has also developed regional co-operation with other Balkan countries, and is, for its research experience, partner in current FP6 project RRTC for establishing regional railway transport research and education institution. Recent requests for research activities are focused to investigation of railway vehicles dynamics and investigation of fatigue of railway vehicles structures and components.
