Europe’s Rail Flagship Project 5 - Transforming Europe’s Rail Freight

Descripción del proyecto

Las actividades de transporte de mercancías totalmente digitales y sin interrupciones transforman el transporte ferroviario de mercancías en Europa

Según el Pacto Verde Europeo, el transporte de mercancías por ferrocarril responde a la creciente demanda de transporte sostenible de mercancías. Se prevé que este sector crezca un 30 % de aquí a 2030, lo cual significa que la mejora del transporte ferroviario de mercancías mediante nuevas tecnologías es cada vez más importante para combatir la falta de capacidad y productividad de la red. En el proyecto FP5 - TRANS4M-R, financiado con fondos europeos, se reúne a setenta y un socios, desde usuarios finales a operadores industriales, proveedores, poseedores de vagones, pymes, universidades y centros de investigación y científicos. Se desarrollarán dos nuevos conceptos tecnológicos, la «explotación íntegramente digital de trenes de mercancías», con el acoplamiento automático digital como elemento facilitador, y la «explotación de mercancías sin interrupciones», con el objetivo de situar al sector del transporte ferroviario de mercancías en la columna vertebral de una cadena logística resistente y de bajas emisiones en Europa, así como sentar las bases de un único marco tecnológico para el transporte ferroviario de mercancías en la Unión Europea.

Objetivo

The rail freight sector is facing a multitude of challenges such as lack of network capacity and productivity. Manual processes still entail worker’s safety risks. Rail must adopt the emerging digital technologies to meet the customer needs. FP5-TRANS4M-R brings together 71 partners from end-users, large industry, railway undertakings – operators and wagon keepers, SMEs, academia and research, delivering on the rail freight sector’s commitment to increase of the modal split share to 50% by 2030 revoking the causality between economic growth in Europe and pollution as well as congestions, positively impacting Europe’s citizens quality of life.
FP5-TRANS4M-R’s overall goal is to establish rail freight as backbone of the lowest emission and most resilient logistics chain in Europe fulfilling the end customer requirements to their full satisfaction. Two technology clusters “Full Digital Freight Train Operation (FDFTO)” and “Seamless Freight Operation” will develop, validate and demonstrate the FP5-TRANS4M-R technologies following an integrated systemic approach across the sector, in a competitive manner
- as only then the expected automation benefits can be fully realised. Integrating DAC-enabled solutions at non- arguable interoperability with software defined systems and digital rail services will lead to increased capacity, higher throughput and shorter transportation duration. It will strengthen the cross-border coordination and cooperation between rail infrastructure managers and finally deliver optimised overall management of the rail network. FP5-TRANS4M-R's credo is: seamless, integrated, interoperable, validated and EU-wide authorised solutions, to achieve a single EU rail freight technology framework with strictly managed interfaces for an effective system integration and seamless operation across countries, actors and modes. These objectives set the foundation, frame, and ambition for the project with an impact on the overall transport and logistics sector in EU.
