Work Packages

Currently available work packages:

WP03 Specifications of demonstrators for improved strategic and tactical planning of the rail network

The objectives of this work package are to align, prepare and deliver the high-level (Workstream 1.1) specifications of requirements, high- level design and high-level use cases for development of the Technical Enablers 1 to 7.

WP08 Development - Simulation and operational feedback for improved planning

The objective of this work package is to develop and improve railway traffic simulation methods, models and knowledge to enable more reliable and effective capacity and punctuality evaluations and predictions of the railway network. The developed methods and models will be used to improve feedback loops between operations and planning and to increase knowledge about the potential capacity impact of new technologies like C-DAS, ATO, ETCS L2 with optimised braking curves and ETCS Hybrid Level 3. This WP covers the following enablers: 

Enabler 5: Improved rail traffic simulation models for selected Use Cases to forecast punctuality in the network (e.g., simulating proportion primary and secondary delays, simulations drivers vs. ATO over ETCS …). [TRL6/7] 
Enabler 7: New planning and operational processes using feedback loops from ERTMS ATO and C-DAS [TRL5/6].

WP09 Demonstration - Simulation and operational feedback for improved planning

The objective of this WP is to validate and demonstrate the models and methods developed in WP8 regarding both technical enablers 5 (TRL6/7) and 7 (TRL5/6). The potential capacity impact of new technologies such as C-DAS, ATO, ETCS L2 with optimised braking curves and ETCS Hybrid Level 3 will be evaluated to get a better understanding on how these new technologies can contribute to improved capacity and punctuality.

This document constitutes the Deliverable D3.1 “Mapping against scope, specification of technical enablers, high-level use cases, high-level requirements, high-level design for demonstrators in WPs 4-9” in the framework of the Flagship Project FP1-MOTIONAL

The objective of this deliverable is to align, prepare and deliver the high-level specifications of requirements, high-level design, and high-level use cases for the development of the technical enablers 1 to 7. The high-level specification is done in parallel with more detailed specifications from WP4, WP6 and WP8. Participants from all WPs contributed to the texts. 

In the project proposal, seven technical enablers were linked to Workstream 1.1 (Planning work packages), i.e., WP4/WP5 (Integration of Planning Systems and Processes), WP6/WP7 (Decision Support and Optimization) and WP8/WP9 (Simulation and Operational feedback). Here, each of the technical enablers are described in detail, including alignment with previous results, current state of practice, assigned development needs and high-level requirements. 

An extensive mapping is also a result that is presented in this deliverable. All demonstrators (that further on will be called demonstrations) in Workstream 1.1 are introduced and described, together with related use cases. There are 13 demonstrations and they are all mapped against technical enablers, TRL levels, use cases and the high-level requirements defined for each technical enabler. They are also mapped against simulation environments and frameworks to be used within WP4/WP5, WP6/WP7 and WP8/WP9. Finally, the alignment and interactions between WP4-WP9 demonstrations and other FA1 WPs, other Flagship Projects and SP Task 3 CMS/TMS and RNE are mapped.
