The Digital Automatic Coupling (DAC) for rail freight is regarded as an important innovation for the entire railway system. As part of the TARO research project the ÖBB-Rail Cargo Group and the Technical University of Graz ran simulations of different migration scenarios contributing to a well-planned and successful conversion. To ensure the efficient sharing of results, the results of the work package are exchanged with other European initiatives such as Europe´s Rail Joint Undertaking.
“The greatest achievement in terms of innovation is that we are able to bring electricity and data to the freight train through DAC”, says Barbara Lunzer, ÖBB-Rail Cargo Group who leads the TARO work package for the Digital Automatic Coupling.
