Abstract


The use of night train rolling stock in daytime transport can be expected to increase efficiency by reducing idle times, but also has numerous challenges. The TANA project, which is funded as an R&D service in Austria as part of the "Mobility of the Future" programme by the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, (BMK) and supported by the Schieneninfrastruktur-Dienstleistungsgesellschaft (SCHIG mbH), is developing concepts to improve the use of night trains in daytime transport.
