D3.2 Physical reference system architecture FDFT

This document constitutes “Deliverable 3.2 Physical reference system architecture FDFT” of ER JU Flagship Area 5 project FP5-TRANS4M-R. This document reports results from Task 3.3: Specification of physical and data reference system architecture.

The objective of this document is to provide the physical reference system architecture and requirements based on deliverable D3.1 Functional system architecture FDFT in conjunction with deliverable D2.2 User requirements of WP2 of ER JU FP5 TRANS4M-R. The physical system architecture will define the basis for the development of the innovations for WP5-WP12. It describes the target of full automation of the freight sector, as well as a subset based on the agreed technical enablers in FP5-TRANS4M-R.

The physical requirements are followed by the Physical reference system architecture including an overview as well as the physical blocks required in FDFT traction units and FDFT wagons. To allow un-restrained innovations to be used, when designing the technical enablers in FP5-TRANS4M-R, the document focusses at the physical requirements in an open way, as much as possible.
