IP4 : IT Solutions for Attractive

railways services

Travelers’ Expectations:

Seamless End To End Travel Experience

Seamless as… multimodal and interoperable • Mainline, Urban, Regional, Airline…

• First and Last miles are critical (incl .soft modes)

• Global offer: shopping, booking, payment,

validation, real-time information,

re accommodation, mobile services

Seamless as… digital • Always connected

• Passengers expect the same level of

services for transport

Building a Powerful Technical Enabler

Based on an open interoperability framework

Internet based distributed architecture

• Open to all providers and distribution

channels

End-users centric access

Travel companion that gives access to all

transport services and contains the rights to travel

With specific guidance for PRM

Connected with any transport services

Shopping, Ticketing, Trip-tracker, etc.

Whatever the mode of transport

Enhancing transport attractiveness

Better connecting the transport offer with the demand side

Booking

Technical framework

Customer experience Applications Multimodal travel services

Interoperability framework Business Analytics

Travel Companion

Trip Tracker

Travel Shopping

Ticketing


- Foreseen areas of activities

Technical Interoperability

Interoperability framework

Allowing a unified abstraction of the services for the different

transport modes in the Single European Transport Area

Based on unambiguous semantic web technologies, it masks the

heterogeneity of the transport services

Leveraging all existing standards, specifically TAP-TSIs,

accelerating adoption and opening a competitive market of service

providers.

Allowing decentralised deployment or management

6



Technical Interoperability

Business Analytics

Providing to the operators the ability to develop their own tools to

refine their offer:

dynamic planning of services, achieving increased flexibility and

overall reliability of the rail system.

improved calculation of the costs and benefits of future rail services,

leading to a better allocation of rail investments.

This development will consist in:

Engineering specifications for architecture, data model & services

design,

Modules for travel & transport big data development,

Core and support services development, and integration tests.

Demonstrator instance

7



Customer experience Applications

Mobile Travel Companion concept :

Based on user’s preferences and constraints (case of PRM)

Giving a unified access point for all transport services

Storing all rights to travel in a simple and secured way

Developing a demonstrator

Trip- Tracker concept

Providing personalized door to door journey information and en-route

assistance, including movement in in-door areas

Leveraging TAP TSI and extended it to multi-modal door to door

Checking and anticipating for disruption of quality of services, including

the use of social media principles

Recalculating itineraries, ETA and proposing alternatives.

Developing a demonstrator 8



Multimodal travel services

Develop one-stop-shop solutions and applications for multi-modal

Travel shopping

Develop Ticketing solutions enabling integrated door-to-door multi-

modal itineraries, using media independent ticketing data content in

order to address interoperability between different modes.

Using modular developments, based on open specifications and

open interfaces

Technologies for Sustainable and Attractive


Main challenges & objectives based on Market Studies

Improve services and customer quality via the increase of productivity of

present and new vehicles and handling time in intermodal terminals and

train formation times as well as by enhancing capacity in new generation

rolling stock technologies and cutting-edge terminal management

systems.

Reduced system costs both in terms of investment and operating costs

by developing more versatile locomotives and freight wagons, higher

levels of automation and higher energy-efficiency.

Enhanced interoperability by both respecting and adopting TSIs and

removing of open-points

Simplify business processes by improving standardisation and reducing

certification and authorisation burdens.

Technologies for Sustainable and Attractive European

Rail Freight – foreseen areas of activity

1. CAPACITY INCREASE

Higher performance train and operation, also able to operate more

like the regional trains Wagon electrification, modern braking and In-train communication.

Efficient propulsion.

Sensors, monitoring analysis.

Operating performance facilitating blending & efficient terminal handling.

Efficient coupling.

Traffic Management System interaction.

Operation of longer trains and less time in terminals, and operation

optimization and the use of a unique dual/hybrid locomotive.

Better control on the wagons, the train and its actual performance Distributed braking enabling better performance.

Automated systems for creation of transport documents.

Real time positioning of consignments and wagons.

Modern wagon design.

Communication in-train and to the outside.

14

2. RELIABILITY INCREASE & SAFETY

Modern and reliable technologies and components Fail resistant design with sensors and technology providing continuous

monitoring, information analysis on locomotive and wagon side.

Information system to ease access to rail freight transport for shippers.

Hybridization and Dual-mode; for last-mile and main line usage.

Fuel savings systems and CO2 reduction equipment.

Smart operation and on-line information systems Improved planning and Traffic Management.

Consideration of real time data.

Collection and processing of combinations of different transport chains for

individual transport units.

Improvement of the interoperability and safety & promotion of market opening.

Creation of incentives for product innovation and service quality networks.
