D32.2 Exploitation Strategy

This document outlines the FP1-MOTIONAL project’s exploitation approach and strategy to ensure the best use of the project’s results, in addition to the communication and dissemination activities which are described in a separate deliverable, D32.1 – Communications and Dissemination Plan. The delivery of FP1-MOTIONAL project is structured in two Workstreams (WS) as follows:

1. WS1 – Rail Services Planning and Operations – with an aim to deliver developments for a future European Traffic Management, to pave the way towards a Single European Rail Area, and make rail the backbone of a multimodal transport system for passengers and freight. This WS1 has three major focus areas: WS1.1 – Planning, WS1.2 – Operations, and 1.3- Integration activities to support a door-to-door mobility.

2. WS2 – Digital Enablers for all Europe’s Rail Destinations (i.e. Flagship Areas) – with an aim to deliver solutions to support the digital transformation of the rail system as a whole. Each of the workstreams mentioned above has specific approaches to exploitation due to differences in scope and stakeholders. In general, WS2 places a stronger emphasis on internal exploitation, whereas WS1 is focused more on external exploitation.

The scope of this exploitation plan excludes the verification of the project results content, which is attributed to the Work Package (WP) leaders, who are also responsible for ensuring that the inputs into the exploitation activities reflect the actual output and progress within the respective Work Packages.
