The Flagship Project “MOTIONAL”, supported by Europe’s Rail initiative, paves the way for implementation of the future European Capacity Planning and Traffic Management System, built on digitalisation, automation, connectivity and multimodal integration. Lead jointly by Hacon and Trafikverket “MOTIONAL” with its 89 partners aim to achieve a significant advancement in the state-of-the-art railway systems by pursuing the way to digitalization and interoperability across Europe. To achieve the expected results activities are carried out in two different working domains. The first domain covers three focus areas; planning, operational activities - which includes managing future interactively coupled timetable planning; and finally operational traffic management systems - which also includes integration activities for door-to-door mobility. The second domain refers to the delivery of a set of digital enablers for all European rail destinations, i.e., crosscutting, to support the development of destination-specific digitalisation solutions. The main outputs of the project will be significant improvements to the railway systems in Europe through the development and implementation of a range of technical enablers. The results of FP1 MOTIONAL will enhance the strategic and tactical capacity planning of the network by enabling a seamless cross border planning and integrated yard and station capacity planning and using modern optimisation and simulation technologies.
