DP-RAIL
Digital Platform Rail
Project description
Spurred on by the Rail Freight Forward (RFF) initiative, the railway sector acknowledged that only a collective approach to the issue of data exchange would deliver the much-needed benefits for the sector and for society. This has led to the proposal to move in the direction of a Digital Platform with the objective to remove interoperability barriers in the freight market.
Project objectives
- To enable seamless interoperable data exchange across borders and companies
- To allow low-cost integration of small(er) entities and players
- To enhance standardisation and support TSI implementation
- To avoid multilateral, customized and costly interfaces
- To reduce manual data gathering efforts for participating entities
- To enable better utilisation of capacity
- To support EU environmental goals
- To enable for future 3rd party innovation
Solutions
By 2025, the project aims to achieve seamless, interoperable data exchange for core rail freight operations through a trusted digital ecosystem and have identified a set of solutions and enablers to achieve this.
