TE09 Enabler 9
Digital register (TRL6) – The Digital Register shall provide reliable, interoperable and accessible infrastructure information as critical enabler for safety-related and non-safety-related functions as a central data source for, e.g., safe train positioning, ATP, TMS and DATO
Project: FP2 - R2DATO (01/12/2022 - 31/05/2026)
Work Packages
Currently available work packages:
WP27 Digital Register Specification, Development and Implementation
This activity focuses on the specification, development, and implementation of the Digital Register in the sense of a database supporting assisted and automated train operations (including, e.g., traffic management systems) and optionally safe train positioning. The Digital Register will be based on prior work in Shift2Rail (TAURO) and RCA. The Digital Register shall provide reliable, interoperable and accessible infrastructure information as critical enabler for safety-related and non-safety-related functions. Among information provision needs, a key priority will be the development of a reliable Digital Map supporting assisted and automated train operation. The focus of the WP will specifically be on: · The development and implementation of the Digital Register itself.
WP36 Onboard Platform Demonstrator
The aim of this demonstrator is to implement and validate a prototype and blueprint of the future-proof onboard connectivity and IT platforms that are required in a highly automated rail system, with the expectation that latest from EU-RAIL phase 2 on all larger-scale demonstrators would utilize these platforms. The aim of this demonstrator is to implement and validate in a lab environment (up to TRL 5/6) how railway application(s) can be hosted on a modular computing platform, making use of a safe Runtime Environment (RTE), standardized Platform Independent (PI) API, onboard FRMCS functions and a unified diagnostics service API. As a key outcome, the demonstrator will help to determine an appropriate level of onboard platform modularity and aggregation (e.g., by utilising a common hardware pool, most likely through the usage of virtualisation or hypervisor technology), and to prove the feasibility of hardware independent integrability and potential certifiability as a blueprint for EU-RAIL phase 2 and future larger-scale demonstrators.
WP43 Freight Demonstrator
To allow a smooth deployment of GoA 4 technology with different possible technological solutions, the systems need to be tested in real conditions in a demonstrator. The freight demonstrator will be equipped with sub-systems studied in the Technical Enablers. Tests will be performed, enhancing autonomous freight train operations.
