July 2022 - June 2025

Funding entity MCIN/AEI /10.13039/501100011033 y por la Unión Europea NextGenerationEU/ PRTR

Participated by CAF Signalling, Comillas


The main objective of the FUTURRAIL project is to provide an integrated model to manage transport capacity efficiently in highly demanded urban and metropolitan railway lines, and software tools to implement it. This way, it will be possible to increase the transport capacity in urban railway lines maximizing the usage of the rail infrastructure.
The project is structured into three main pillars:
-Planning module: related to infrastructure and new signalling systems.
-Timetabling and transport demand coverage: related to the generation of efficient timetables.
-Traffic operation platform: related to traffic operation and regulation of trains in real-time.
