'LivingRAIL will develop scenarios on the state of living style, cultures, mobility and economic activities in Europe by 2050 and explore a vision on the future role of the environmentally friendly, electrified railways within them. LivingRAIL will elaborate prospective and normative scenarios investigating possible evolutions leading to a reduction of the environmental harm of transport and in the same time to increase – or at least maintain – our quality of life. The scenarios will be detailed by trends in society, policy, economics, spatial planning, urban development, technology and transport sector operations to gain profound understanding of the sector interrelations. With the help of these detailed assessments the project will elaborate a “railmap” out of alternative pathways to approach the 2050 vision from today’s situation. Based on today’s best practice the analytical work will investigate how the railways and related transport modes can develop technically and in organisational and operational terms to achieve the 2050 targets and how spatial and urban planning, transport policy and other areas can contribute to achieve the 2050 targets. A broad set of interviews and workshops using visioning and roadmapping techniques will be conducted. LivingRAIL will foster an intensive dialogue between politics, rail sector, spatial planning actors and civil society to develop jointly technology pathways and feasible organisational options to implement the vision 2050. The target groups: political decision makers, railways, rail supply industry, transportation providers, spatial planning authorities, transport associations, passengers’ organisations and academia will be involved in the dialogue process from the very start. Thus the LivingRAIL results will be checked in the reality and that will substantially increase their practical importance and pave the way towards implementing the finding'
The European Commission considers a sustainable and rail-friendly system key to the future of transport. An EU initiative is developing a vision for rail transport in Europe by 2050 and a roadmap to carry it out.
EU strategies and targets foresee a railway system that satisfies people's mobility needs, reduces impact on the environment and resources, and is economically feasible. The EU-funded 'Living in a sustainable world focused on electrified rail' (http://www.livingrail.eu/ (LIVINGRAIL)) project is examining the potential of railways to contribute to a higher quality of life in Europe overall by the middle of the century.
During the first reporting period, project members elaborated scenarios on the future role electrified railways will play in mobility trends and the evolving demographic and economic structures, environmental challenges, energy issues, social and cultural values, living spaces and technological progress. Findings show that the conditions under which mobility and rail transport will develop are opportunities for the rail sector and not threats.
Project partners have set up an active database following the development and assessment of various strategic measures. The measures are grouped into two main categories as they become available: rail sector measures that provide solutions to be implemented by rail and public transport companies; and policy, spatial concept and urban design measures for policy institutions at EU, national and local levels. Expert workshops have been held to evaluate provisional measures and their feasibility before being implemented and added to the database.
In the next phase of the project, a roadmap will be produced based on the scenarios and measures. It will cover interurban passenger, interurban freight and urban passenger transport in Europe.
LIVINGRAIL is articulating a vision for how a modern European railway system should look in 2050 based on the needs of policymakers, the railway sector and its users.
