Additional information
The research on High Redundancy Actuation (HRA) which is reported in this paper and other papers referred to therein led directly to a 12month RA Knowledge Transfer secondment (of Steffen) co-funded by BAE Systems to investigate applying the HRA ideas to aerospace actuators for an unmanned vehicle (Contact: Ian Harrington, BAE Systems, Warton, ian.harrington@baesystems.com). The work reported also inspired and was instrumental in the award of a £174k EPSRC/DfT project ‘REPOINT - Redundantly Engineered POINTs for Enhanced Reliability and Capacity of Railway Track Switching’, EP/I010823/1.
