Railway Marketplace for Data, Know-How and Services

Abstract

Like any other industry the railway sector undergoes greattransformations. To maketransportation by rail more sustainable and affordableinfrastructure, maintenance is key.However, this needs a managed and collective effort of manyplayers in order to make this efficientand easily accessible to experts of many different fields:Measurement experts, Simulation experts and Engineers whoperform the maintenance. In this work, we present a marketplace which leverages modern technologies and standardslike GAIA-X, Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI),Distributed Co-Simulation Protocol (DCP) or SystemStructure and Parameterization (SSP) to provide accessibleand easy to use services and retrieve crucial data fromother providers, while protecting sensitive data andknow-how. This market place is developed under the Umbrellaof the ERJU of the European Union. This work is an updateof our publication in Eisenbahn Ingenieur Kompendiumm 2024and contains several additions regarding the implementationand the usage of Modelica standards. A working prototypewill be available in 2026.
