TRansformation of AViation and rAirway soLutions toWards Integration and SynergiEs

Travel Wise will support the shift from traffic management in silos to intermodal traffic orchestration by delivering a methodology, a roadmap and the related technologies to allow for i) sharing of information between air and rail operators, ii) intermodal collaborative decision making both in nominal situations and in case of disruptions, iii) optimisation of passenger experience.

A key focus of the project is on solutions addressing transport disruptions by defining the interface and information exchange between the Air Transport Management System (ATM) and the rail Traffic Management System (TMS). To create an intermodal ecosystem, Travel Wise will exploit the full benefits of digitalisation, define a roadmap towards a common air-rail data space, extend the Collaborative Decision Making process to multimodality, develop integrated operations plans, and design, develop, implement and validate technical solutions for air-rail integrated traffic management in both nominal and non-nominal situations. The project demonstrates three scenarios: the city pair (Amsterdam-Paris), the international hub (Athens) and the regional airport (Bologna).

The Travel Wise flagship project is a EUR 4.9 million synergy between SESAR and Europe's Rail Joint Undertakings with 37 partners. The consortium includes relevant members of both Joint Undertakings and a wide representation of end users ranging from airport and rail infrastructure managers, air and rail operators, air navigation service providers (ANSPs), other transport mode operators, relevant technology providers and research centres.
