Provide drivers and traffic controllers with a set of predefined messages in normal and exceptional circumstances in all countries.
Enable communication on the basis of these messages using a digital tool, via a prototype developed in the context of the project.
Pilot testing will take place on different corridors.
The approach/concept will improve:

UIC took part in the 13th World Congress on Railway Research held from 6 – 10 June 2022 at the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Birmingham, UK, hosted by RSSB and the University of Birmingham and was held under the theme “Reshaping our railways post-pandemic: Research with an impact”.
The event was attended by around 700 participants in person Read more…
Judit Sandor, Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking Project Officer for T4R, opened the event by highlighting that rail plays an important role, particularly when it comes to the modal shift. “We know that multiple languages present a key challenge and that this requires attention. We must make sure that trains running between countries can be operated safely and efficiently.”
The different languages in international rail operation represent a key obstacle to interoperability. However, the sector’s ambition to implement a Read more…
