Horizon Prize 2020 - Unique Train H2020-S2RJU-Inducement-Prize-UTrain-2021 Open!
Objectives
The main objective of the prize is to develop an innovative solution that will allow tracking all commercial freight trains, from all railway undertakings, covering the whole European network. The aim is to provide real time information about the train, accessible to all, including information on the location, departure, destination, compositition and punctuality. The desired solution must take into account the national messages compliant with Commission Regulation on the technical specification for interoperability relating to the telematics applications for freight subsystem of the rail system in the European Union and repealing the Regulation TAF-TSI and the existing interfaces with multimodal hubs (terminal, ports authorities, etc).
In particular, the single solution (interface,tools,etc.) will ensure
- a seamless tracking (possibly from path request until operation) of commercial trains across Europe in Infrastructure Managers networks and beyond, in synergy with “Telematics Applications for Freight services” (hereinafter TAF) compatible messages and existing online tools.
- a service to track commercial trains across Europe, including tailormade access to data within TAF environment Railway Undertakings(RU), Infrastructure Managers (IM), TIS (Train Information System from Rail Net Europe (RNE)), terminals, port authorities and combined transports operators, etc. adaptable to the needs of different users.
