The Action will implement a real demonstration of a tracking information
and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) sharing software in a series of
existing rail freight services run by intermodal operators, mainly in
the Rhine-Alpine Core Network corridor.
Increased sharing of real-time tracking information and ETA among
railway Infrastructure Managers, Railway Undertakings, intermodal
operators, terminals and end-users (shippers) is essential to improve
the efficiency of the logistics chain and the competitiveness of railway
with respect to road transport.
The results of the Action will underpin the work done by Member States
and European institutions for eliminating legal, operational and
technical obstacles in the electronic exchange of information in
Road-Rail Combined Transport.
