Project description
Real-time information applications and energy-efficient solutions for rail freight
Although rail freight markets within the EU have been open for a number of years, the modal share of intra-EU rail freight transport has slightly declined in the past decade and the modal share compared to trucks is decreasing. Today, the sector risks failing to fulfil the objectives that were set in the Transport White Paper in terms of developing rail freight. The EU-funded FR8HUB project, as part of Shift2Rail, Innovation Programme 5, aims to increase capacity, operation reliability, energy efficiency and punctuality, and to reduce railway system life cycle cost, noise and emissions.
Objective
The key aspects for this proposal, FR8HUB, is the emphasis on increasing the efficiency in the nodes, hubs and terminals in the railway system for freight and to continue development in freight locomotives of the future. FR8HUB answers to the member call for Shift2Rail IP5 AWP 17 and thereby propose activities in new development areas together with continuation of progress in Technical Demonstrators (TD) started in AWP 15. To succeed with implementation of technologies developed within Shift2Rail IP5, FR8HUB will also initiate development of a strategy for implementation of relevant technologies to secure market uptake.
