NEXUS has launched a new animation that explains its vision for the future of European metros, making complex innovations in adaptability, automation, and user-centred design clear and accessible
Aston University presented the NEXUS project at Railway 200 on 17 September 2025, highlighting its role in developing innovative solutions for urban and metro transport through optimisation, energy efficiency, advanced modelling, and data science to shape the future of rail.
A key part of the NEXUS project is gaining insight into the needs of both passengers and operators. Deliverable 3.1, User & Operator Requirements and Framework Conditions, provides this foundation. By identifying practical requirements and examining the organisational and technical frameworks that shape metro systems, the deliverable lays the groundwork for future innovations that are both feasible and publicly trusted.
