Kick-off year : 2022 Title : TRANS4M-R Status : Ongoing Link : https://projects.rail-research.europa.eu/eurail-fp5/

Description

The TRANS4M-R project’s overall goal is to establish rail freight as the backbone of a low-emission, resilient European logistics chain, which meets end-user requirements to full satisfaction. Two technological clusters, ‘Full Digital Freight Train Operation (FDFTO)’ and ‘Seamless Freight Operation’, will develop, validate and demonstrate FP5-TRANS4M-R technologies in line with an integrated cross-sector systemic approach. FP5-TRANS4M-R brings together 71 partners from across the rail sector including end-users, industrial partners, railway undertakings, operators, wagon keepers, SMEs and academia. The project started in 2022 and will last for 45 months.

Delivery

UIRR’s contribution has been (i) to support the design, implementation and testing of adequate DAC technologies for intermodal transport with the creation of an intermodal task force and (ii) to provide the necessary requirements for a harmonised enhanced digital ecosystem for Combined Transport integrating for example the specifications from the EDICT project.
