On December 14th 2016 ERFA together with UIRR (Combined Transport Association) welcomed nearly 40 participants to the Workshop on "Rail Freight Digitalization". 8 speakers provided valuable "food for thought" regarding different digital solutions, covering all aspects of rail freight transportation including interfaces to infrastructure managers, terminals and the customers. The participants agreed that digitalization is an indispensable prerequisite in order to gain more efficiency, reduce cost and increase the modal share for rail freight. Sharing data amongst the actors while respecting sensitivity of some individual information is crucial as well.
