Unlocking barriers to innovation
Testing and trialling to unlock innovation in GB rail
The rail industry identified the following barriers to overcome:
• Lack of a holistic, systems view • Weaknesses in organisation, processes,
competence and culture – eg problems in monetising benefits of innovation
• Poor implementation risk management – eg acceptance processes are not well understood by suppliers or flexible enough
![Page 6: Testing and trialling to unlock innovation in GB rail.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/5516d7845503468e338b4783/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Unlocking barriers to innovation
Testing and trialling to unlock innovation in GB rail
Principal interventions were proposed:
• Establish a top-level ‘sponsor’ function to provide the business ‘pull’ (rather than technology ‘push’) for innovation and to integrate with industry planning
• Establish a GB rail ‘technology leadership’ function
![Page 7: Testing and trialling to unlock innovation in GB rail.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/5516d7845503468e338b4783/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

As part of the consultation on industry’s Rail Technical Strategy, the need to enable innovation emerged as one of the key issues.
Enabling innovation
Testing and trialling to unlock innovation in GB rail
The rail industry ran a consultation ‘Shaping the 30-year Rail Technical
Strategy’ in autumn 2010, ahead of a new version being published in 2012.
![Page 9: Testing and trialling to unlock innovation in GB rail.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/5516d7845503468e338b4783/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Research has confirmed that lack of access to testing facilities, and lack of overall understanding of testing are key barriers to innovation.
The role of testing and trialling facilities
Testing and trialling to unlock innovation in GB rail
‘Enabling technical innovation in the GB rail industry - barriers
and solutions’ (T934)
![Page 10: Testing and trialling to unlock innovation in GB rail.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/5516d7845503468e338b4783/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The role of testing and trialling facilities
Testing and trialling to unlock innovation in GB rail
Lack of access to appropriate testing and trialling facilities has been identified at RIA’s innovation conferences as one of the top three barriers to innovation in the rail industry.
RIA represents suppliers to the rail industry and works closely with RSSB
and is a partner on TSLG
![Page 11: Testing and trialling to unlock innovation in GB rail.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/5516d7845503468e338b4783/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
This led the rail industry to identify a need to pool and present its combined knowledge on testing and trialling.
Why is innovation so important?
Testing and trialling to unlock innovation in GB rail
The Technical Strategy Leadership Group (TSLG) asked the Testing Facilities Steering
Group (TFSG) to develop good practice guidance and collate testing and trialling
facilities’ capabilities and contacts
![Page 12: Testing and trialling to unlock innovation in GB rail.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/5516d7845503468e338b4783/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
To promote a shared understanding of good practice

stages that a new technology goes through during development.
Testing enables a technologyto progress from TRL2 where it is nothing more than a concept through to TRL9 where it is proven and accepted into the operational environment.
