### Abstract:
The main aspects of the Shift2Rail project fr8hub are to increase efficiency at the nodes, hubs
and terminals in the freight railway system. In addition, the impact of increasing freight train speeds on line capacity will be investigated. Furthermore, the development of freight locomotives of the
future will be continued.
WP3 delivers a demonstrator showcasing the effects of 1) improved traffic management through
better interaction between line and yard, and 2) increased freight speed and its effects on overall
increased capacity, punctuality and reduced travel time for both passenger and freight trains. To
evaluate and validate the effects, two important lines on the Scandinavian-Mediterranean Corridor
in the TEN-T network (Malmö - Hallsberg and Karlsruhe - Basel) in Sweden and Germany are used as case studies.
