D27.1 Data model and format for a harmonised EU planning of railway assests, starting from CCS+

The present document examines how a harmonized set of data can be used to realize the idea of SERA and a Single European Railway Traffic Management system. This vision is based on the concept that a common data model can be used in the supply chain, regardless of the specific domain. The System Pillar CCS-TMS Data Model is a first instance of a common model fully dedicated to CCS-TMS engineering and operations. The potential utilization of such data in other domains besides signalling, such as diagnostics, maintenance, and so forth, is analysed through the presentation of a set of business cases. The business cases allow us to identify key data requirements for the WP27 digital planning toolbox and other applications. The content of this deliverable (D27.1) will be used as input for the task 27.2 to guide the extraction of selected objects from the data sources identified. The extracted objects can be used by both the toolbox and other railway applications as a result of FP1 and other FP interactions and collaborations.
