The digital transformation of Combined Transport relies on a strong integration of all CT stakeholders based on EDI common reference files and data exchange standards.
UIRR promotes and disseminates the EDIGES CT data exchange format. The target of EDIGES is to realize a standard communication system to integrate all actors in intermodal logistic chain and information related to every single process of the CT chain (booking, first/last mile road operations, terminal activities, train running information and ETA/ETP).
EDIGES is managed and developed by a specific EDIGES Consortium (info@ediges.org) where members are represented by intermodal operators Kombiverkehr, Hupac, Mercitalia Intermodal. The version 4.1, partially compliant with TAF TSI, is the last published version (see below for the different handbooks and documentation).
EDIGES is based on standardised codes such as defined by UIRR and other official institutions (terminals, customers , damages, ILU codes, dangerous goods...) and is the standard for automatic integration of transport information with third-parry systems such as CESAR, RNE TIS, KV 4.0.
