Project Summary

We are witnessing today the emergence of development and modernization projects planned for the railway sector. The strategic plan for development of the Maghreb countries Railways seeks to raise the rail productivity for both passenger and freight. A need to develop a predictive maintenance policy in the early phases of this plan must be accompanied by a high level of skills and human capital in terms of expertise both qualitatively and quantitatively.The Regional Transport Action Plan (RTAP) envisages the extension of the major Trans-European Transport Axes to the Mediterranean region and to recruit and train a large numbers of people to renew the potential of expertise and supervision in the sector.On the other hand, the mapping of the proposed higher education deserves to be developed in terms of specialized training in the railway sector, particularly in infrastructure maintenance and security to meet the needs of these extended infrastructures and the recruitment of the management staff and experts.In this context, we propose to develop modules for insertion into teaching cycles “Engineer or Master” and into the field of railway infrastructure maintenance. This project will focus on an approach based on digital pedagogy. It aims to develop a dozen of training modules in e-learning, blended and serious game that will be integrated into the curriculum of engineering courses and Masters of the universities partners. For the sustainability of this project, it is planned to create platforms for research and training and a railway-training observatory. In terms of transfer of knowledge developed, the project will lead to the creation of a micro-enterprise for the development of pedagogical tools for the sector.
