Focus on the 2024 session of RESCOR

On November 27th and 28th, 2024, new international exchanges took place with RESCOR members. This edition was in Germany, in Düsseldorf, at the Ministry of Environment, Nature, Conservation and Transport. It brought together around fifteen people from Spain, Germany, Ireland, Serbia, Denmark, Switzerland, and France.

The first morning was an opportunity for our hosts to present their scope of intervention and to revisit the collapse of part of the Carola Bridge in Dresden, carrying the tramway tracks, in September 2024.

The day continued with a visit to an extension of the urban guided network towards Düsseldorf Airport (future U81 line) followed by a visit to the SkyTrain. This transportation system is a monorail suspended about ten meters above the ground, consisting of fully automatic cabins that allow passengers to travel between parking lots, Düsseldorf Flughafen station, and the terminals of Düsseldorf Airport.

The next morning, France presented several topics related to current regulations and technical aspects of trams and metros. This was also an opportunity to present the innovative ’Urbanloop’ system, which was put into service this summer in southwestern Paris for the Olympic Games.

Finally, Swiss, Spanish, and Irish members shared feedback, indicators, and trends regarding guided transport safety.

The 2024 session reaffirmed the importance of sharing information.

The next RESCOR edition will take place in Ireland in 2025.
