Future Rail x Tech
#Mobility #DisruptiveTechnologies #Indstry4.0
Technological progress offers the opportunity to completely rethink mobility. Work together with DB on the question: How will rail mobility change technologically over the next 10 years and what concrete possibilities and solutions will this create for end customers as well as in the areas of infrastructure, rail operations, maintenance & Co?
✅ Challenge completed 🏁 Winner Congrats to Team Greenhorn and Team TechTrasse!🏆 Rewards 15,000 € prize pool in the overall DE 4.0 project + invitation to the Federal Chancellery + promotion of further implementation + chance for further cooperation with DB
Submission Template
For the processing of the use cases within the DEUTSCHLAND 4.0 project a common submission template is available. This template will help you to structure your ideas and approaches and to find answers to all relevant questions.
SUBMISSION TEMPLATE (English version)
In addition to this submission template, you will find specific requirements and guiding questions for your Use Case in the "Guiding Questions" tab, which you should consider when preparing your submission.
You can also complement your submission with prototypes, pitch decks, images and video material, higher-level concepts or specific application-related instruments - simply submit these documents together with the submission template via our platform.
The aim is to ensure that solutions within the overall project cover a broad spectrum through this approach: from concrete digital product ideas to higher-level visions
Key Questions
The development of approaches and solutions for the Use Case with Deutsche Bahn should be based on the following principle:
Moonshot 2030:
- What problems did you tackle and what challenges did you identify?
- Which stakeholders are affected and what impact does the problem have on them?
- How will these problems be solved and what is the concrete implementation and thus rail transport in 2030?
- What are the implications for society, politics, and the economy?
What must be done today to shape the future of mobility?
- What innovative framework, strategies or products are needed today?
- What are the next steps of a successful and feasible implementation and what resources are required for this?
- What corporate, transport and economic course must be set today?
Criteria & specifications
- "Jump-off basis" are the goals of the Group strategy “Strong rail” and the technological content of DB's digital and technology strategy (note: Use Cases, Foundations and Technologies of the D&T Strategy)
- The focus is on passenger and freight transport within the railroad system network (and thus not on the shareholdings DB Arriva and DB Schenker)
- Within this framework, the innovators are free to choose specific solutions based on the question and key questions - the technological focus and the possibility of a rollout within the next 10 years are important
