Rail industry associations presented the new Roadmap for digital railways

A future roadmap for digital railways was presented from UIC, CER, EIM and CIT on April 26, 2016. The aim of digital railways is to promote the use of digital technology so to increase rails performance and attractiveness.

EIM Executive Director Monika Heiming declared that "the challenge will be to develop collaboratively joint visions for the future versus silo thinking in the past".

Urban Transport Roadmaps Tool is coming!

On 13 April 2016 the Urban Transport Roadmaps tool was launched at an event in Bremen (Germany).

The web-based tool, which is supported by the European Commission's DG MOVE, is designed to explore transport scenarios that are practical, feasible and implementable. By using the tool, political and technical decision-makers can find a suitable mix of measures to realise the goals of their Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs).
