Objective
The aims of this project are first the proposal of common standards and second the proposal of particular specifications for each type of yards : terminal (road, rail, maritime), inland waterway and shunting yards.
The final aim of this study is a global proposal for a common specification able to combine each yard in the Community by a network with the lowest costs of transshipment handling.
And due to the limited sum allocated to the scale models, the study will concentrate only on the common specifications that integrate the new proposed concepts using existing scale models in the Community (COMMUTOR, ECT, CARGO 2000 ...).
Last, it will provide the specification of the management system of a transshipment yard (microsystem), and the specification of the management system of all the network using telematics and an automatic identification of loading units and rolling stocks (macrosystem).
A SIMET database (SDB) has been defined and appropriate software has been chosen.
Work is in progress to collect and compile data for the SDB in the following areas:
transport volume (by mode of transport);
transport networks (for all modes of transport);
loading units;
rolling stock;
transhipment equipment;
load handling equipment.
TASK 1: Definition of transport requirements mainly based on results of existing studies
TASK 2: Inventory of the currently most promising technical solutions to facilitate intermodal transport
TASK 3: Design and assessment of the most efficient methods of rapid unloading/reloading
TASK 4: Definition of the operating specification for new yards for rapid unloading/reloading operations
TASK 5: Definition of model equipment

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
