the S2R MAAP*
• is a collaborative long-term investment planning document, which now also contains an Executive View (Part A) providing the S2R vision and Capabilities.
• translates strategic R&I priorities for the Railway sector – as per S2R Master Plan - into concrete R&I activities, milestones and deliverables
• contains the description of R&I activities worth an estimated value of about EUR 777 million
• is a living document (ongoing “maintenance” for Part B)
• enables the preparation of result-oriented Annual Work Plans and Calls for Proposals
• grants awarded for the actions(Projects) should aim to implement part(s) of the MAAP
* multi-annual action plan

#Shift2Rail
Innovation Capabilities
Capability 1_Automated train operation
Capability 2_Mobility as a service
Capability 3_Logistics on demand
Capability 4_More value from data
Capability 5_Optimum use of enrgy
Capability 6_Service timed to the second
Capability 7_Low cost railway
Capability 12_Rapid and reliable R&I delivery
Capability 11_Environmental and
social sustainability
Capability 10_Stations and “smart” city mobility
Capability 9_Intelligent trains
Capability 8_Guaranteed asset health and
availability
#Shift2Rail
Automated Train Operation
Trains are able to operate themselves and run closer together
1A_ Automated (passengers and freight) trains run closer together with increased flexibility 1B_ Passenger and freight train preparation processes are automated 1C_ Vehicles split and join on the move. New operational approaches (e.g., virtual coupling, convoying, reduced headway, communication connections between trains/units) are employed 1D_ Self-propelled automated / autonomous single units guide themselves through the system

ation
bearers in
the
railway
environm
ent
The activity shall assess the railway environment and identify new
alternative bearer beyond established cellular technologies
(UMTS/HSPA, LTE, LTE-A, etc.) or other access technologies
(WiFi/802.11, SatCom, etc.), which are or expected to become
available for on-board to trackside communication needs. The
availability of the alternative bearers might be restricted to certain
areas (for example train stations, shunting yards, high-speed lines,
different terrains, etc.). The alternative bearers could rely on or
leverage already available infrastructure or equipment alongside the
railway tracks. Some potential candidates include but are not limited
to data over power lines, free space optical communications, etc.
The results of the study are expected to enrich the set of access
network options for infrastructure managers, when they deploy their
new adaptable communication system and leverage the benefits of
alternative bearers to address specific needs of their planned rollout
of advanced services and applications.

Commission in June 2017.
Under the supervision of the JU and together with Commission
Services (DG Move), inter alia, the contractor will perform tasks
such as support the ERA Change Control Management process’
and related update of specification documentation (including
test specifications); Identification of the existing sets of
engineering rules regarding transitions between systems;
Contribution to the technical review of trackside deployment of
ERTMS in cross-border sections; Contribution to the
drafting/updating of technical specifications for upcoming
ERTMS communication system set to replace GSM-R and to the
appraisal of the impact on interoperability of its roll-out.

Study on use of
fuel cell hydrogen
in railway
environment
This activity aims at analysing the business case of
hydrogen and fuel cell usage in the rail environment,
both in passenger train and freight.
The investigation could for example include analyses
on the CO2 performance (through Life Cycle Analysis
techniques) of current rail powertrain solutions and
demonstrate the specific emissions saving that can be
achieved by replacing conventional technologies.

YOUR PROJECT and the overall S2R programme
• EACH PROJECT contributes to the achievement of the Master Plan and the MAAP objectives
• EACH PROJECT is part of a programme and cooperation with other projects must be ensured
Through the collaboration and input to the JU Members, EACH PROJECT will support the realization of long-term S2R technological demonstrations or innovative break-through
• Particular attention is given to ensure that there is no duplication of work between EACH PROJECT and current/future R&I activities
• EACH PROJECT results are taken into consideration for the next annual work plans to ensure sufficient complementarity and coherence.

Complementarity & Collaboration Agreement
1. Complementary is defined at topic level
2. Complementarity between topics is compulsory established in the Grant Agreement (need for a Collaboration Agreement)
3. IP/CCA SteCos, high level synchronization points: Project Coordinators may attend the SteeCo meetings as observer and IP Coordinators cooperate with project coordinator to foster/promote synergies
4. S2R Programme Managers: Central Contact Point for both projects
