Europäische Kommission : Horizon 2020
The potential of rail in contributing to European transport policy and wider societal objectives is substantial. However, today figures from the railway sector show that in most countries around Europe there is a low level of railway usage in general. A modal shift to rail for both passengers and freight is a major challenge in realising the potential of rail. How can rail/shift to rail be used as an active factor in societal building? Which are the key factors for a modal shift to rail and which are the obstacles? Which ones reside within the railway system and which ones relate to other parties? What factors are addressed by S2R targets and activities? Which other factors, activities of actors and sectors are needed for realising the full potential of rail for customers and society?
System Platform Demonstrators (SPDs) and Integrated Assessment
The challenge is to develop approaches and tools to enable the evaluation of the impacts of key technology developments within Shift2Rail. In particular, the objective of the Integrated Assessment (IA) of the System Platform Demonstrators (SPD) is to evaluate to which extent the results of the Shift2Rail Programme are reaching the expected key targets detailed in the Master Plan. The SPDs are the basis for the IA, the latter being expected to measure their specific effects on each Key Performance Indicator (KPI). The specific challenge is linked to the definition of the SPDs in order to identify the right scenarios of the future railway system(s) and model the inter-dependencies of the KPIs between each other as well as between low-level functional and technical parameters and high-level socio-economic objectives. The result will be a KPI model for the overall railway system, able to demonstrate the influences of all IPs and TDs on the Shift2Rail key targets. This model is to be validated by external data and finally used throughout the project runtime of the TDs in order to monitor the achievement of the key targets.
