Content | FP 7 Cooperation Work Programme: Transport Page 80 of 143 80 The aim of the research is to optimise rail freight services to match seamlessly with customers supply chains. The project will determine how to effectively integrate low volume high value high speed (LVHVHS) freight services with existing passenger services without detriment to either service type taking into consideration operational, technological and logistics requirements. Activities will: • Assess the feasibility of LVHVHS services within existing networks in terms of available infrastructure and operational capacity. • Define a business case on the basis of the market demand and the required investment in rolling stock, infrastructure including handling facilities. • Develop freight trains with modular design to meet new market demands (e g temperature controlled cargo), with higher productivity, volume and lower unit costs. • Develop freight trains with optimal length and design, able to operate seamlessly with rail passenger traffic, carrying goods at speeds compatible with daytime passenger traffic. • Develop suitable handling and transhipment techniques and deployment. • Specify critical process improvements to enhance interfaces with other transport modes in the supply chain. Activities will lead to new technologies and methods in rail freight logistics needed to increase rail freight market share. Funding scheme: Collaborative Projects small or medium-scale focused research Group of topics N° 1 Note: Limits on the EC financial contribution apply. These are implemented strictly as formal eligibility criteria.

Competitive continental shipping including port operations The research shall aim at making short-sea and inland shipping more competitive, safer and cleaner while ensuring efficient door-to-door supply chains through the development of co-modality and logistics. A key issue is to efficiently link motorways of the sea with coastal and inland routes and to be more competitive by developing innovative, safe, efficient clean short sea and inland ships that are acceptable to the market. The research should concentrate on utilising cutting edge technologies to obtain the largest possible effect on operational efficiency, reliability and cost-effectiveness with regard to safety and low environmental impact at sea, inland and in ports. The research shall consider solutions (market and technological) tailored to continental shipping that facilitate efficient cooperation between transport modes – particularly in relation to rail. Activities will include: • Development and validation of novel next generation ship types for inland and short- sea shipping. These developments should be targeted to feasible markets with the largest impact in terms of efficiency and overall CO2 reduction compared to current transport practices. Designs should also include effective solutions for ships operating under extreme conditions, such as low water depths present within the river Danube, ice and small waterways, etc. |
