Grant Description

To meet the increasing demand for transportation of both passengers and freight, FP2-R2DATO will take the advantages of digitalisation and automation to develop the Next Generation ATC and deliver scalable Digital and Automatic (up to Autonomous) Train Operation (DATO) capabilities in order to enhance the capacity of the existing rail networks.

Tangible results of FP2-R2DATO are expected to be delivered by 2025 on key topics: ATO, ETCS Hybrid level 3 and Level 3 Moving Block, digital technologies (5G-connectivity and a standardized onboard ICT-platform), and guidelines and methods for fast and cost-effective deployment and migration of DATO throughout Europe.

Through these technical improvements FP2-R2DATO will meet the objectives and impacts defined in the ERJU Master Plan and Annual Work Program: contribute to increased punctuality, reliability and productivity of staff, rolling stock and infrastructure.

FP2-R2DATO will pay attention to potential risks, such as acceptance by the public, synchronising with ETCS-deployment and potential legal issues, The overall methodology FP2-R2DATO uses to achieve the desired results is set-up along three stages: from the development of technical enablers, via prototypes that lead to dedicated demonstrators at TRL 6/7.

The collaborative approach of industry suppliers, railway operators, infrastructure managers, together with research centres and academia FP2-R2DATO will ensure that each of the technical enablers will be developed at a reasonable cost and will match operational requirements as well as integration innovative technologies.

Feedback loops are organised to align research centers, suppliers and railway operators throughout the project, to ensure the technology developed creates the impacts aspired towards a future digitised and automated European rail system.
