Rail transport is currently confronted with significant challenges: In order to successfully implement the Deutschlandtakt timetable and meet the goal of making passenger and freight transport more climate-friendly, transport capacity must be continuously expanded. At the same time, the industry is facing increasing staff shortages, particularly among train drivers and maintenance personnel.
These challenges can only be addressed through the consistent application of digital solutions, automation and connectivity. Digitalisation will play a key role in this and will be crucial for the future viability of rail transport in Germany.
As part of the SmarTram joint project, funded by the BMWK, we are collaborating with our project partners to develop a real-life demonstrator for an intelligent tram. The project's objective is to identify the technological challenges of autonomous tram operation under real-world conditions and to develop and test innovative solutions for safe operation. The goal is to transfer insights from the automotive sector to rail-bound vehicles.
