Failstopper - Study the compressed air system of the vehicle

Responsible organisation: Metro do Porto (Governmental)

The project, called 'FailStopper' and launched earlier this month, aims, through sensors, to study the compressed air system of the vehicle (installed on the roof) which, according to the researcher, allows the "performance of the secondary suspension", an element responsible for "keeping the vehicle level with station platforms". Researchers from the Institute of Systems and Computers Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC), in Porto, launched a project that aims to "combat and anticipate leveling failures" of Metro do Porto vehicles. The 'FailStopper' project was one of the 15 projects approved in the Scientific Research and Technological Development contest in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in Public Administration, an initiative of the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) that joins the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education and the Ministry of Administrative Modernization.
