Kick-off meeting: Advancing European Rail Interoperability

Promoting interoperability across Europe was the key focus on the kick-off meeting for the Digital Capacity Management – Implementation 2024-2027 (‘DCM IMP 24_27’) project.

One of the project’s main objectives is to transform rail capacity and traffic management, which is currently national, manual, and annual, into a more European, digital, and flexible system.

The project is also an critical enabler for the implementation of the EU’s proposed regulation on the use of railroad infrastructure capacity.

By sharing experiences, developing strategies for improved performance, and identifying operational solutions, the meeting is considered a tremendous success.

The kick-off meeting for the DCM IMP 24_27 project, which is set to run from 1 April 2024 to 31 December 2027, took place on 24 September 2024.

It was held in a hybrid format at RNE’s premises in Vienna.
