Optimisation of traffic through the European Rail traffic management systems

Objective

The main objective of the project will be to extend the current activity of ERTMS to the rail traffic management of the main European corridors.This research project aims at providing the EU documentation and recommendations that will help go further toward a project implementation under the coming 5th RTD Programme.
%
The purpose of this rail traffic management system will mainly consist in improving:

- real-time train dispatching and route planning,
- rail nodes fluidity, by acting on train speeds,
- customer and operating staff information.

To achieve this objective, it is planned to first deliver a requirements definition, through:

- Analysis of the existing status of ERTMS (on-board architecture, ground mounted architecture already designed by some railways, available train management technologies),
- Functional and technical analysis of the traffic management area, and identification of the traffic management subsystems to be optimised,
- Analysis of potential implementation cases of the studied traffic management system.
