Article 15 (Principle of transparency) of the EU-Rail financial rules states that the JU shall make available on its internet site no later than 30 June of the following financial year information on the recipients of funds deriving from its budget.
EU-Rail’s Innovation Pillar (IP) is tasked to deliver operational and technological solutions that contribute to a more efficient, flexible, and demand-led, yet safe and environmentally sustainable European railway system.
The System Pillar provides governance, resource, and outputs to support a coherent and coordinated approach to the evolution of the rail system and the development of the system view.
The Deployment Group advises the EU-Rail Governing Board on the market uptake of rail innovation developments and support their deployment.
For a successful and effective implementation of the Digital Automatic Coupler for European rail freight (DAC), it is of crucial importance to have open, close and efficient cooperation between rail stakeholders. The European DAC Delivery Programme enabled by Europe’s Rail, offers a unique European platform for such cooperation and collaboration.
Discover how Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking is calling for a bold, coordinated investment strategy to simplify and modernise rail systems across the EU. This public-private partnership model – outlined in our High-Level Paper – proposes an €18 billion investment from 2028 to 2034 to strengthen European competitiveness, deliver greener transport, and drive technological sovereignty.

This document, deliverable D19.1, belongs to Europe’s Rail FP1 MOTIONAL specification phase from Work Package (WP) 19. FP1 MOTIONAL project focuses on improving network management planning and control, as well as rail mobility management in a multimodal environment in Europe. Research and innovation activities are broken down into several areas grouping the TEs (Technical Enablers) identified in the MAWP (Multi Annual Working Plan). The present document addresses features associated with WS (Work Stream) 1.3 “Integration of rail traffic with door-to-door mobility”, namely TEs 18 to 27. Within MOTIONAL, the team in charge of this area is known as SG3 (Subgroup 3).
D19.1 (due at M12) is elaborated during the first phase of the project with the objective to provide the required inputs for the next phases, namely development and demonstration.
This document starts with a review of the TEs with a dedicated highlight on associated past innovation projects, the objective being to establish a clear baseline for the specification work. It then proposes an analysis of the system architecture inspired by AF (Architecture Framework) guidelines. This analysis starts with a view of the targeted operational objectives of the system in the form of a set of use cases associated with TEs. It moves next to a general description of how the system should implement these operational objectives through the elaboration of system functional analysis consisting in the definition of high-level capabilities and requirements. The following step, logical architecture, aims at identifying the logical components of the system, their interactions in the perspective of the implementation of use cases and the interfaces and standards in scope when applicable. D19.1 ends with the transition towards the next phases of the project with the definition of the planned work for development and demonstration phases.
