    163 - Rail freight ride Surveillance (RaiSu)

    Element 2 - Competitiveness in PNT
    Start date: 01/08/2024
    Duration: 19 Months
    The management of rail logistics heavily relies on digital tools, where transport management systems (TMS) are pivotal. Despite the widespread use of TMS in road and ocean freight, rail freight lags by two decades. Addressing this discrepancy, Rail-Flow introduces a Rail TMS that integrates diverse data sources, including the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and collaborates with kasasi…
