IP5 innovation Focus Areas

DIGITAL AUTOMATIC COUPLERKey element for better and optimized convoy formation, gateway for comprehensive automation and digitalization of rail freight transport.

System developed and Manufactured will be tested by summer 2020 during field tests. It will have a second field test campaign to test winter operational conditions in Sweden

FREIGHT ATO Automatic Train Operation GOA2, Incorporating specific Freight Functions

Operational Tests End of 2020

Intelligent Video Gate Intelligent Video Gate for multi modal dispatching & operational aid for CBM and train formation

Working Proof of concept developed, to be implemented and integrated in Freight Intermodal Terminal by 2021

eco-DriveDriver Aid Systems with RearView/Farsight traffic Information to adjust speed & release the need2go top-speed

Will be Tested by Q3 2020 in Germany

Freight Propulsion systems Distributed Traction Systems for long trains

What to expect from current IP5

Technology, Operations and Standardisation

Technical Development

Definition of technical DAC open design

specifications (on use-cases considerations)

• Functional requirements for the coupling

• Standardized solution regarding power

supply and data communication

Follow up Development process

Evaluation of testing results of WP2 +

technology impact from WP7

A wide approach for compatibility to allow

cost optimization for efficient operations (on

full assembly group basis, e.g. draftgears

technical harmonization) and maintenance

Development and deployment of further test concept in

two phases in close alignment with WP1:

Primarily technical testing of DAC functionalities

and requirements of different coupler-types and

producers/developers

Demonstrator trains for evaluation & Testing of

future operation concepts and production

Testing & Demonstrators & Pilot ProjectsWP 2

Evaluation of potentials to increase system

capacities based on ECTS L3/moving block in

Europe

Scenario-based analysis of potential increase

of rail model share due to higher capacities

and lower cost

Calculation of potential contributions to the

European Green deal due to traffic shifts to

rail

Rail System Capacity and Green DealWP 4

Coordinated European traffic and wagon fleet analyses

(incl. traffic flows, network modelling), starting from the

outputs of the results of available DAC migration

strategies (e.g. BMVI study on migration strategy

published in June 2020)

Definition of a sequential migration plan according to

transport operations and wagon categories with regard to

• Production capacities of DAC manufacturers

• Workshop capacities (incl. retrofit)

• Conversion plans

• Wagon Producers

• New Build production
