Local rail passenger transport (SPNV) is characterized by a large variety of vehicles. It can be seen that technical limits are imposed on the free deployment of local transport vehicles by their ability to be coupled. Difficulties are encountered both in coupling vehicles of the same series and in combining different (sub)series. The research project therefore addresses the question of which obstacles must be overcome in order to achieve free couplability of traction units in local passenger rail transport and which (operational) potentials could be tapped if this goal were achieved.
