WP02 Operational Procedures, Functional Requirements and Freight System Architecture

The process flow for European seamless rail freight and a future automated full digital freight train operation with all relationships must be described within its physical (such as locomotive/wagon and its subsystems) and a digital (data) layer as a foundation for the specification of the requirements of the technical enablers for a digital-rail-based logistic systems. Target operational processes for all areas in all relevant scenarios (situations/sites/locations) shall be defined.

WP24 Preparation of demonstration and standardisation for seamless freight

The goal of WP24 is to prepare the activities for the demonstration efforts of WP 33 and WP 34. This is done via a continuous alignment of planning, timing execution and evaluation between all involved partners. Since this is a continuous and regularly updated process, the WP will run for the entirety of the first call. In addition, this WP also aims to provide input for standardisation, including a possible extension of the existing standards.

WP25 Seamless Use Case Definitions/Preparations, Functional and Basic Technical Specifications

To match the market requirements, the goal of this WP is to establish the functional and technical specifications of the necessary developments to achieve the vision of the seamless freight cluster of Destination 5. The actual development is done in WP 26-32, or in the respective work packages of the Destination 1 project, which is focussed on mainline network planning and management, as well as the FP3 project regarding the development of CBM. 

WP32 Specification of Seamless data availability/ exchange using the platform of platform approach

This work package shall provide an overall framework to allow a seamless and harmonised exchange of data, not only for the activities within Destination 5 Seamless Freight, but also for the connection to Cluster 1: FDFTO. The Conceptual Data Model (CDM) which will bring everything under a common federation will be developed within Destination 1 and   used to share data. The cooperation with Destination 1 will be considered to explore opportunities of using standards with the CDM as well as contributing to it. This framework shall facilitate an increased availability and quality of data by reducing technical and administrative barriers for the generation and exchange of data. To achieve this goal, the framework will govern the data exchange processes (developing interfaces, data converters, the facilitation of a common data structure and the use of standardised formats etc.). This work package will cover Enabler 15 reaching TRL 7-8.
