Through the development of functional requirements, associated specifications and operational or technological solutions and by taking advantage of the potential of digitalisation, MOTIONAL project aims at contributing towards a more connected multimodal transport system for passengers and freight. The projects are managed by a Coordinator (COO), which in MOTIONAL wave 2 is the Swedish Transport Agency, hereafter Trafikverket. The consortium consists of some 25 partners across Europe.
