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.
Discover detailed information on Europe's rail innovation initiatives, showcasing flagship and other projects aimed at enhancing rail systems across Europe. It highlights collaborative efforts funded by the European Union to develop sustainable, efficient, and competitive rail transport solutions.
Europe’s Rail Catalogue of Solutions illustrates successful R&I results in the form of possible products and solutions, while highlighting the benefits for final users, operators, infrastructure managers and/or suppliers. This publication also outlines the advantages of integrating demonstrators into market solutions so that they can deliver the rail innovation Capabilities of the future.

This document constitutes the Deliverable D3.1 “Mapping against scope, specification of technical enablers, high-level use cases, high-level requirements, high-level design for demonstrators in WPs 4-9” in the framework of the Flagship Project FP1-MOTIONAL.
The objective of this deliverable is to align, prepare and deliver the high-level specifications of requirements, high-level design, and high-level use cases for the development of the technical enablers 1 to 7. The high-level specification is done in parallel with more detailed specifications from WP4, WP6 and WP8. Participants from all WPs contributed to the texts.
In the project proposal, seven technical enablers were linked to Workstream 1.1 (Planning work packages), i.e., WP4/WP5 (Integration of Planning Systems and Processes), WP6/WP7 (Decision Support and Optimization) and WP8/WP9 (Simulation and Operational feedback). Here, each of the technical enablers are described in detail, including alignment with previous results, current state of practice, assigned development needs and high-level requirements.
An extensive mapping is also a result that is presented in this deliverable. All demonstrators (that further on will be called demonstrations) in Workstream 1.1 are introduced and described, together with related use cases. There are 13 demonstrations and they are all mapped against technical enablers, TRL levels, use cases and the high-level requirements defined for each technical enabler. They are also mapped against simulation environments and frameworks to be used within WP4/WP5, WP6/WP7 and WP8/WP9. Finally, the alignment and interactions between WP4-WP9 demonstrations and other FA1 WPs, other Flagship Projects and SP Task 3 CMS/TMS and RNE are mapped.
