InteGRail Mission Statement
InteGRail aims at creating a holistic, coherentinformation system, integrating the major railway sub-systems, in order to achieve higher levels of
performance of the railway system in terms of capacity, average speed and punctuality, safety and
the optimised usage of resources.Building on results achieved by previous projects, InteGRail will propose new intelligent procedures
and will contribute to the definition of new standards, in compliance with EC directives and TSI’s.

InteGRail Results
� InteGRail produced two types of results:
A) The Reference Technology Platform� The Reference Technology Platform is an open specification
and input for standardisation
B) A number of Application Prototypes� The Application Prototypes show how InteGRail can work in
the real railway world, in a business oriented context

� Applications need to speak to each other, exchanging information, independently from their location and from available networks
� ICOM integrates current and future communication technologies used in global railway information systems.

InteGRail offers potential for transfer into the wholelogistic chain
� The concept of IGRIS has been developped by the railindustry, and it has been tested in the railways
� However it has a high potential for cross-modalapplication:1. The IGRIS service oriented architecture (SOA) is a group of
services that communicate with each other – this is possibleintra and inter modes
2. The concept of the reference data platform is an open systemand can be extended to other modes and aplications
3. Thanks to the use of ontologies (FCAs) and semantictechnologies IGRIS is extremely flexible
4. InteGRail is scalable5. Affordable (for all players, SMEs etc)

Summary
1. InteGRail is a project that developped a reference platformfor information exchange in the railways (IGRIS)
2. A number of applications are running on this platform and show that IGRIS works in the complex railway world and helps to improve performance
3. IGRIS is an open system: it can be transferred to othermodes, any new application can be integrated
