Successful Kick-Off Meeting for WP7 in FP1 Motional

FP1 – Motional scope includes the development of algorithms and simulation methods to optimise timetables, enhancing capacity, and effectively manage rail services. The demonstration of these algorithms is the scope of Work Package 7 (WP7) –  ‘Demonstration – Decision support for planning and timetable optimisation’. WP7 kicked off on 13th January 2025 in the beautiful city of Rome. The two-day event was hosted by Siemens and led by the WP7 leader, Dennis Huisman from NSR.  The meeting started with an overview of the WP7 scope and continued with presentations of the demonstrations plans by the partners involved in this WP. The subsequent plenary session facilitated the exchange of ideas between partners and addressed broader topics related to the demonstration phase. The focus of the second day was to identify the key performance indicators to be validated during the demonstrations.

This event was successful in aligning efforts and objectives for the next phase of the FP1 Motional project in improving both long-term and short-term timetabling.
