Automation and digitalisation will enable rail freight to become more efficient and attractive for logistics service providers and shippers and will bring relevant benefits for European society in general.

The DAC is the central enabler for D&A in rail freight and in addition to pneumatic connection, data and power will be provided along the whole freight train by coupling automatically. By this we enable a variety of innovative DAC applications to advance the digitalisation of the freight train and the operational processes, leading to Full Digital Freight Train Operations.

In the webinar we will focus on one of the preconditions for the DAC introduction: the operational procedures. Inside FP5-TRANS4M-R preliminary Target Operational Procedures have been developed which represent the first set of target operational procedures for rail freight agreed throughout Europe.

During the webinar, the current DAC activities as well as initiatives and project will be introduced to the participants. The preliminary Target Operational Procedures will be explained in terms of general content and structure to enable all interested parties to examine them and to provide further input.

All European Railway Stakeholders, especially European Rail Freight Undertakings, and all other interested parties are strongly encouraged to participate in this first Webinar of a series.
