Objective

Demonstrate representative railway communication services performance and business application services in a high mobility environment.

All Train users (passengers, staff and machines) will experience service continuity throughout the journey with different performance, depending on the capabilities of the radio access technologies existing in each track interval.

How?

To provide this service continuity, a concept like multi-technology TCU has been developed, to aggregate and manage the different connections.

UC3 will simulate the shared use of the infrastructure by two trains belonging to different train operators: the high-speed train managed by SNCF and the LFP maintenance train used as part of the small-scale testbed.

High mobility specific Features

• Applications demonstrates in a high-speed train (@300 km/h)
• Multiple radio access technologies use along the corridor, aggregating bandwidth from different radio links.
• Cross border scenario, including Le Perthus Tunnel and open areas
• Multi-stakeholder service delivery architecture: railway service operator(s), railway infrastructure operator(s) in a cross-border scenario
