Description du projet
Mettre le transport de fret ferroviaire sur une voie numérique
Le transport de fret ferroviaire, l’épine dorsale logistique durable de l’économie de l’UE, connaît une expansion rapide. La Commission européenne vise une augmentation de 50 % du transport de fret ferroviaire en Europe à l’horizon 2030. Dans ce contexte, le projet DACcelerate, financé par l’UE, ouvrira la voie à la transformation vers des opérations de fret ferroviaire entièrement numériques en Europe. Cette démarche s’inscrit dans la droite ligne du pacte vert pour l’Europe et du programme pour la numérisation de la Commission. Globalement, le projet gérera et soutiendra directement le programme européen de mise en œuvre de la directive DAC en étroite collaboration avec tous les acteurs concernés. En outre, il mettra en place un cadre permettant l’identification des goulets d’étranglement afin de contribuer à accroître l’automatisation et l’efficacité et la sécurité du couplage.
Objectif
In its Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy , the European Commission targets an increase of the rail freight transport in Europe by 50% by 2030. To reach this goal, several technologies and methods will play a significant role: digitalisation and automation of rail freight operations lead to novel solutions with a major impact providing a critical opportunity to shift the freight transport from road to rail. Digital Automatic Coupling (DAC) is seen as a “game-changer” solution, a feasible and effective way for the transformation to full digital rail freight operations in Europe to deliver on the Green Deal and Digitalisation Package 2022 objectives. The advantages of DAC stretch across the rail freight sector, from railway undertakings and infrastructure managers including their staff to wagon keepers, society and environment, ultimately delivering benefits for rail freight customers. DAC makes automation possible, increases coupling efficiency and safety.
Therefore, DACcelerate aims to manage and directly support the European DAC Delivery Programme in close cooperation with all stakeholders, while continuously engaging with experts and policy makers on EU & member state levels. It will provide strategies, methods and guidelines for successful and cost-efficient transition to fully automatized and digitalised rail freight transport. The project will tangibly illustrate the required future technology innovation bricks and respectfully updated operational procedures in an early phase of the roll-out and migration process. Hence, DACcelerate will establish and apply a framework allowing identification of bottlenecks, provide a means of cross-sectorial communication between stakeholders and develop a consolidated migration plan to tackle the individual challenges, while harmonizing technical approaches and developments. In order to perform these tasks in an efficient manner, the efforts will be aligned with existing European structures and activities with relevance for the EDDP.
