On The Right Track Ep 4 | What Role for Technology in Boosting the Modal Share of Rail? - a podcast by Florence School of Regulation

With the European Year of Rail being halfway through, host Juan Montero, Part-time Professor at the Transport Area of the Florence School of Regulation is joined by François Davenne, Director General of the International Union of Railways (UIC), as they take stock of progress achieved to date. What is the role of technology in increasing the modal share of rail in the passenger segment? What is UIC doing in terms of using technology to facilitate better interaction between the different industry players? Can technology improve the reliability of cross-border rail freight services and thereby help to boost the modal share of rail freight? Is the current regulatory framework conducive towards more efficient cross-border services, or will a stronger EU involvement in cross-border traffic management be necessary? Is the recent revival of night train services in Europe here to stay? Tune in to their conversation to learn more.
