TRANS4M-R
With the aim of increasing efficiency, the TRANS4M-R project is developing the Digital Automatic Coupling (DAC) as a key element for optimising rail freight transport in Europe. The idea is to automate current manual processes such as coupling and uncoupling wagons or the brake test using an automatic coupling head. The DAC enables both an increase in operational efficiency and flexibility through the faster and more efficient formation and breaking up of goods trains as well as an increase in capacity through longer and heavier trains.
