Exploitable results An information system for combined transport The Brenner Corridor is one of the most loaded international transit corridors, where - on a length of only 448 km between Munich and Verona - three countries and thus railway infrastructures and the Alps (inclination Brenner north ramp 26 ) have to be bridged. In order to ensure a further increase of the international rail freight transport, both conventional and intermodal rail, the Brenner Action Plan was adopted in December 2002. The identified research and demonstration activities have been transferred into the BRAVO project: - BRAVO will lay foundations for achieving a significant and sustainable increase in intermodal volume on the Brenner corridor, and is designed as a blueprint applicable to other European corridors. - BRAVO involves key players active in rail freight and particular combined transport services on the corridor and has established working groups with all stakeholders. - The corridor management is performed by an open and flexible platform model while maintaining and improving the business relations between partners. Within the framework of BRAVO, an information system for combined transport (CT) has been developed, which includes European wide services of intermodal operators such as Kombiverkehr and other cooperation partners. After the end of the BRAVO Project this tool has started it's commercial operation and can be entered via the Kombiverkehr website. 1. Cross-border operation of multisystem-locomotives and loco drivers for efficient and reliable rail transportation of, until recently, more than 2100 trains, and optimised infrastructure capacity use. 2. Radio-remote control of pushing engines as required to haul heavy trains on the steep Brenner north ramp. 3. Megatrailer-pocketwagon (T3000) for maximised volume mega semi-trailers in combined transport, when required by the automotive industry, which have already moved about 70 million tonne-kilometres including the operational trials. 4. Online train monitoring including estimated time of availability (ETA) information accessible for all parties involved in rail transport: railways, CT operators and CT-terminals. 5. Internet timetable displaying all gateway and selected ferry routes for customers of combined transport accessible via www.bravo-project.com. 6. Brenner quality manual with ambitious quality objectives, guidance on how to measure them and how they can be achieved by optimising procedures. The BRAVO project has been conceived to meet the challenges set by the increasing demand on logistics systems, railways liberalisation, lack of efficiency in intermodal transport, congestions and infrastructural bottlenecks on major transport routes in Europe.
