A workshop with representatives of the National Safety Agencies (NSAs) from Slovenia, France and Italy took place on 7 March 2025 at the headquarters of the International Union of Railways (UIC) in Paris. The participating T4RAIL IT-SI project partners started the workshop by presenting the project package and the pilot projects dealing with overcoming language barriers in railway operations. This was followed by a practical demonstration of the translator used in the current T4RAIL IT-SI project. The demonstration was based on pre-prepared scenarios of communication between a driver and a signaller.
At the end of the workshop, there was an open discussion on the criteria and procedures for the future implementation of the language translation tool, focusing on:
- the user experience, covering trust, training and risks,
- the reliability and risks of the translator,
- the implementation of pilot projects, covering risk assessment, implementation results and recommendations for further work.
