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:

One of the priorities of the Rail Freight Forward (RFF) coalition is to proactively drive modal shift and propose quick wins to implement a ”drive-through” philosophy. This is achieved through UIC projects such as X Border, executed in collaboration with key partners such as RNE with the support of individual freight operators and infrastructure managers and thanks to programmes Read more…
During their first advisory board on 25 February, UIC and RNE reported on their Shift2Rail funded project Translate4Rail. Translate4Rail aims at developing a language tool that removes the cumbersome language barriers in international train operations. Despite many attempts to overcome interoperability issues, the need of a level B1 language certificate for train drivers is still one Read more…
