The MultiModX project (Integrated Passenger-Centric Planning of Multimodal Transport Networks) has released its first Industry Board Feedback Report, marking a significant milestone towards enhancing multimodal transport networks. This report is now available on the project’s official website at multimodx.eu
Aligned with the objectives of the SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking, the MultiModX project aims to foster seamless integration and coordination between air and rail networks, prioritizing a passenger-centric approach. The feedback report encapsulates the insights and recommendations gathered from the first Industry Board meeting, held on February 20th at the International Union of Railways headquarters in Paris.
The Industry Board, consisting of experts from the aviation, railway, and transportation industries, as well as GDS organizations and the scientific community, plays a critical role in guiding the MultiModX project. Their expertise is vital for assessing project results, validating models and frameworks, and evaluating key performance indicators (KPIs). The board’s engagement with policymakers, transport experts, and industry representatives ensures a comprehensive and robust development process for MultiModX solutions.
The report concludes with a synthesis of the insights gained from the discussions, proposing solutions for enhancing air-rail cooperation and aligning schedules for optimal passenger convenience. The feedback gathered from Industry Board members is instrumental in shaping the future direction of the MultiModX project.
By publishing this feedback report, MultiModX aims to facilitate continuous consultation and collaboration among stakeholders, fostering the transfer of innovative solutions to subsequent research and innovation stages. The comprehensive feedback and expert insights documented in this report are expected to significantly impact the development and validation of passenger-centric multimodal transport networks.
