The collaboration will particularly focus on developing optimized models to increase efficiency of containerised freight movement across railway network, particularly focusing on the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC).They will together foster research, innovation and capacity building.

IIT Roorkee will research to optimise the loading of containers on double stack trains, ultimately reducing container rail haulage costs and improving inter-terminal movements through rail transshipment hubs. An optimisation based decision support system for the efficient movement of container trains across CONCOR’s network will also be developed.
