The figure below, provided by the partner [`CAF`](https://www.cafmobility.com/), exemplifies a system architecture currently under consideration to implement a digital twin for braking and traction. + +![CAF Use Case Architecture](CAFArchitecture.png "Architecture Braking & Traction Use Case") + +The [`Functional Mock-up Interface`](https://fmi-standard.org/) has been selected as the standard exchange format for model components to enable the reuse of existing models and tools and to allow IP-Protection of model content from commercial suppliers. Special attention in the use case driven work is given to a proper design of interfaces, i.e. the in- and output quantities of component FMUs. It is the goal to deliver a range of digital twin assembly templates similar to the [`Vehicle Interfaces Library`](https://github.com/modelica/VehicleInterfaces) in the automotive field. In order to prepare the future business case, the digital twins will be compliant and integrated into in the data ecosystem called [`Rail Data Space`](https://internationaldataspaces.org/usecases/european-rail-data-space/), also addressed within [`FP1-MOTIONAL`](https://projects.rail-research.europa.eu/eurail-fp1/). + +The authors would like to acknowledge the funding from the Horizon Europe programme under grant agreement No. 101101973 — FP1 - MOTIONAL — HORIZON-ER-JU-2022-01. + +**Your feedback is very welcome!** \ No newline at end of file
