1 The REAKT project (https://reakt.sh/ & https://www.schiene-m-l.de/) aims at developing new mobility concepts to reactivate rural rail lines. This project will evolve around developing an autonomous on-demand rail vehicle to flexibly provide service on single track lines. A prototype will be build in 1:32 scale as well as a full scale version.

3 == Overview of topics (WIP) ==
4
5 All solutions should be scalable for both demonstrators!
6
7 ~1. An end-user app and management system for on-demand train service [Maybe split into two topics]
8
9 * App to call a train to a desired location and communicate desired destination
10 * Locations drawn from GNSS and appropriate abstraction in 1:32 scale
11 * Management of multiple trains on a single track line
12 * Schedules for cooperative passenger pick up
13 * Provisions for passenger transfer on open track
14 * Either based on a central or decentralized communication concept
15
16 2. An autonomous train controller with risk analysis using STPA
17
18 * Control of an autonomous passenger train model (conceptually working for both demonstrators)
19 * Capability for passenger transfer on open track (safe docking procedure)
20 * Risk analysis for the controller using STPA
21 * Safe behavior model generation using PASTA?
22 * Assumes preprocessed sensor input and destination determination (see other topics)
