THE PROJECT
The Smart-Rail project aims at improving rail freight services offeredtoshippers,focusingonreliability,leadtime,costs,flexibilityandvisibility.
THE CHALLENGE
The aim of the European Railway Agency (ERA) is to construct a safe, modern integrated railway network. The overall target isthatrailwaysmustbecomemorecompetitivetoothertransportmodesandseekandofferhigh-quality,end-to-endserviceswithoutbeingrestrictedbynationalborders.
Toachievethenecessarymodalshiftfromroadtorailtherailsector faces an unprecedented challenge of providing the capacityforaffordableandattractiveservicesrequiredtoenablethismodalshift.ThecurrentEuropeanrailfreightmarketisacomplexsysteminvolvingagreatnumberofdifferentpublicand private stakeholders, such as infrastructure managers, rail operators, terminal operators and freight forwarders who jointly managetheoperationofrunningtrainsfromAtoB.
TheSmart-RailprojectisalignedwiththeobjectivesofSHIFT²RAIL and will ensure that the results can be used in further research in this programme.
