Objective
Enhancing performance and competitiveness of cross-borders freight rail transport is the goal of the EDIP (European Distributed Power control) project. It aims at providing a system for the control of several hauling locomotives distributed along a train in the new heavy/coupled/long/modular trains concept that is emerging for the optimisation of the expansive slot use and the decrease of hauling costs. Specifications are defined on requirements expressed by freight railway operators. Interoperability is a main aspect of the project and specifications of the developed system will be proposed as candidate standards. EDIP is conducted in a practical vision with a goal short/mid term exploitation benefits. Expected results are the validation of the system during the real scale experimentation, positive economic benefits for haulers and final users, and recognition of the developed system as a European standard.
