Flagship Area 1

Network management planning and control & Mobility Management in a multimodal environment

The introduction of common functions to integrate the multitude of national Traffic Management Systems (TMS) could make operations more agile and borderless in the future. Such a European TMS will not only improve the service offering and the rail’s role within door-to-door services, but also increase the flexibility, resilience, and capacity of its network, thus supporting the development of the Single European Railway Area.

FP1 develops functional requirements and specifications for needed operational and technical solutions with two work streams:

  • WS1: planning and operations of the European Traffic Management and Integration activities of the rail services with the door-to-door mobility
  • WS2: digital enablers (transversal topics) for all EU-Rail’s destinations

Ongoing Projects in this Flagship Area

Flagship Area 1 Project - TRAVEL WISE

Travel Wise, TRansformation of AViation and rAilway soLutions toWards Integration and SynergiEs is an intermodal innovation project for the aviation and railway (and maritime) sectors, focusing on intermodal common situational awareness and increased coordination between air/rail/waterborne transport modes to facilitate multimodal journeys.

Flagship Area 1 Project - MOTIONAL

The project FP1-MOTIONAL aims to improve planning and operational management of rail services and offers to meet the European goal of making rail the preferred mode of transport. The project aims to develop a future European Traffic Management System (TMS) that is interoperable, resilient, able to adapt the capacity and able to integrate all involved services, including last mile operations provided by other transport modes, by taking advantage of the potential of digitalisation. The project is divided into two major workstreams (WS). WS1 is focusing on planning and operation activities, as well as integration activities. WS2 is delivering transversally across the programme a set of digital enablers to support the development of destination-specific digital solutions such as Digital Twins, Rail Data Space and explore an extension of existing rail CDM’.
