Plenary meeting of the UIC - International union of railways #UICrail #Passenger #Services #Group (PSG) hosted by SBB CFF FFS in #Zurich Participants were coming from everywhere: railway undertakings, of course, solutions users and providers but also our European colleagues of CER (Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies) and International Rail Transport Committee (CIT) to inform about the last fresh evolutions of our framework. This sector has a real good atmosphere, something which is precious to create in common 👌👏 A very important meeting for this #UIC sector covering all topics dealing with #ticketing / #distribution / #information / #passenger with diseases (among others), because we reviewed: ✅ the activities of the subgroups, ✅ the 2025 #trends and priorities (OSDM, Real Time, eTCD, MERITS, PRM ABT, PASSAGE will have developments) ✅ future #projects / services / #products ✅ and #budgets! A lot of work is made to support the #ticketing #roadmap adopted by railways companies especially in Europe. Thanks a lot to all the participants too numerous to be quoted here. A special thank to Vittorio Carta, MBA our chairman; Cristina Pini ; Luca Mariorenzi my super team Vanessa Pérez Miranda Fabrizio setta David Sarfatti and also Marc GUIGON for his smart official handover in this sector. #railway #cooperation #global #rail #fortheplanet #modalshift #mobility

🚉 “We want to double the number of local and regional trains for everyday journeys. But Lyon's railway junction is an obstacle. So Europe needs to help us in terms of infrastructure investment.” We need Europe for rail solutions on mobility for people!

🌍🚲 Exciting News from #VeloCity2024 in Ghent, Belgium! 🚲🌍 We are thrilled to share that Lucie Anderton CEnv, Head of Sustainability at UIC - International union of railways #UICrail, participated in the Velo-city conference held from June 18-21. Trains may not always take people door to door, but when paired with bicycles, they offer one of the most sustainable ways to travel. The #European project RAIL4CITIES, backed by Europe's Rail Joint Undertaking, has been conducting a series of Living Labs across Europe to explore how to create more seamless connections between trains and bikes, helping people enjoy more car-free days. At #VeloCity2024, Lucie Anderton @uicrail shared key findings with the audience, emphasizing the crucial role of stations as mobility hubs. “Stations are key, they have the power to convene active and collective low carbon transport as a mobility hub.” Key Takeaways: ✔️ Stations must prioritize space for cycling services over cars, with safe and convenient bike storage and signage. ✔️ Technology services can simplify cycling with combined ticketing and up-to-date bike-friendly information. ✔️ Railways can collaborate with cycling partners to enhance their offerings for cyclists and make sustainable tourism more attractive. Together, we can create a more sustainable future by making rail and cycling the go-to options for travel! #Sustainability #Rail4cities #Cycling #GreenTravel #SustainableTourism #ActiveTransport

🚦 A lot of challenges to deploy commercial automated mobility but not all are related to the driving. Solving the global economic equation will be crucial. During the last week or so, the need of connected infrastructure raised a lot of attention. 🔮 Do you think AVs will have to rely on some kind of infrastructure to deploy commercial services ? Or will connected infrastructure be only used in some rare edges cases ? To clarify the context, I like to divide “road-side” connected infra into 2 categories : 1️⃣ : Safe information providers They are playing a role in the safety concept They help the vehicle to drive faster in an intersection (because they’re sure nothing’s coming) 2️⃣ : Additional information providers They are playing a role to improve quality of service They advise the vehicle to slow down in anticipation (because there might be someone coming), resulting in lower occurence of emergency stops. 🎙 I’d love to hear your thoughts on that Xavier Toujas, Pauline Dalicier,Pierre Delaigue, Cédric Seureau and others !

Why do most Europeans prefer combining rail and road transport (#combinedtransport) over using only heavier trucks and #megatrucks ? #Safety is certainly one reason ... Let's make sure that the #WeightsAndDimensionsDirective does not undermine the EU’s ambition to decarbonise the transport sector.

UK - CAMBRIAN LINE ACCIDENT: INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY The Cambrian Line in Wales, the UK's first rail route equipped with the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), is set to resume normal services today following last week's tragic collision. This accident resulted in one fatality and 15 injuries, marking the first fatal rail incident in years. An investigation is underway to understand the causes, including how the ERTMS, designed to enhance safety, was involved in the incident. Network Rail and Transport for Wales have completed their on-site investigation, allowing for the removal of damaged trains. While services will resume, disruptions may still affect travel in the short term. Key areas of focus for the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) include the low adhesion between wheels and tracks, potentially exacerbated by fallen leaves in wooded areas surrounding the line. The Cambrian Line, a single-track railway, poses unique safety challenges, especially during adverse conditions. Our thoughts are with those affected by this tragedy. #SafetyNeverStops #RailSafety #PublicTransport https://lnkd.in/genyNxAW
