Project: - Pods4Rail - Concept Development of a System for Pods and Pod-Carriers to be used as Moving Infrastructures mainly for Rail, but as well for Road and Ropeways (01/09/2023 - 28/02/2026)
Public Deliverables
Currently available deliverables:
*D15.1 Dissemination, communication, and exploitation plan This deliverable will provide:
• Reporting about the planned activities related to dissemination, communication and exploitation
D2.1 Written report of the definition of multi-modal mobility systems This deliverable will provide: The results of the qualitative study including implications for the development of the multimodal mobility system, incl. general overall specification with description of needed technologies.
D3.1 Legislative and normative framework analysis This deliverable will provide: Consideration of the design definitions coming from the general overall specification in the WP2 A review of laws and norms fitting with the design and potential operation is performed
*D3.2 Proposition for an evolution of the existing safety framework and preliminary safety requirements This deliverable will provide:
• Investigation of potential risks and various design options are studied
• Potential normative evolution is studied. Doing this, separated sets of safety requirements are provided
*D4.4 High-Level functional requirements specification This deliverable will provide:
• Functional requirements specification including a description of scope and system boundaries
*D5.1 Report on a generic business case elements Within the scope of Pods4Rail, advances in connectivity and automation as well as the existing rail
infrastructure are to be utilised in order to embrace and expand the concept of intermodality
throughout the transport and logistics sector. As such, the Pod System represents an autonomous,
electric vehicle consisting of a homologated transport unit for passengers and goods and a
separate specific carrier unit. [1] As part of Work Package 5 (WP5), Business Cases are to be
developed and analysed with the aim to examine the economic feasibility of the proposed
Pods4Rail System both for passenger and freight transport.
