Shunting yards offer the potential to create incentives for modal shift. In the course of this paper, the automation and optimization of a rolling stock inspection was investigated. Interviews with experts and field observations showed that automation steps are possible, especially in visual inspections and in documentation.In addition, an automated brake test and a digitally automated coupling could be used to simplify further processes. The results collected in a small sample could form the basis for further research in a follow-up project. However, it is apparent that the measures can be taken on the infrastructure side, but also on the wagon side. To a large extent, this requires coordination of this interface. Similarly, in an overall consideration of an automated marshalling yard, it would also be possible to investigate the aspects of an automated rolling stock inspection. This would make it possible to make rail freight transport more attractive for transport companies and thus take a further step in the direction of green mobility.}, language = {ENGLISH}, booktitle = {Novi {Horizonti} 2021 - {Proceedings}}, author = {Wagner, Adrian and Thomasitz, Michael and Michelberger, Frank}, year = {2021}, keywords = {Institut für Mobilitätsforschung, Mobilität, Vortrag, best-awagner, peer-reviewed, ⛔ No DOI found}, }
