Acronym: 21-EU-TG-DCM IMP 22_24 

Project Summary

The overall objective of this project ‘Digital Capacity Management – Implementation 22-24 [DCM IMP 22_24]’ (a study without physical interventions) is to continue the Europe-wide implementation of the programme ‘TTR for a Smart Capacity Management’ which was launched as a project in 2014 with the overall aim to increase international rail attractiveness and efficiency, so that rail can increase its competitiveness and market share on the European transport market.
This project intends to continue the valuable work started by previous EU-funded actions. It will do so by: 

• Supporting rail stakeholders in implementing the agreed and committed activities in the frame of the programme ‘TTR for a Smart Capacity Management'.
• Implementing an additional market-oriented application for Short Term Path requests – the so-called ‘Automated Short Term Path Request’ at international level (reduction of lead time from 2-3 weeks to 1-2 days). 
• Adjusting IM legacy systems to allow cross-border data exchange, to facilitate integrated infrastructure capacity and traffic management.
• Supporting rail stakeholders in developing common Telematics Reference Files, merging the existing TAF and TAP Reference File sets to be used in the telematics framework and by other registers managed by the ERA or the rail sector. 
• Supporting Infrastructure Managers and Railway Undertakings in implementing and ensuring the compliance of the rail system and its sub-systems with the TAP and TAF TSI.
