Continued efforts to boost international rail freight

Despite 7% growth in EU28 rail t-km since 1995, modal share of rail freight is declining

During the same period, rail freight underperformed compared to the rate of industrial production, which grew by 12.8%.

Rotterdam TEN-T Days June 2016

ACTION?YES: Ministerial Declaration and Sector Statement on boosting international rail freight in Europe

Since Rotterdam June 2016?• Ten priority actions derived from Sector Statement

were presented at RFD 2016• Sector Statement Group (SSG) was set-up in July

2017 to implement Sector Statement, starting with ten priorities

• First progress reported at RFD 2017 on some priorities

• Comprehensive Progress Report prepared by SSG in 2018 outlining detailed progress on each priority

• Outlook on ‘Sector Statement’ – today!

Summary of progress achieved till 2018 Comprehensive Progress

Report, October 2018Outlook on the ‘Sector

Statement’, December 2018

1. Making rail a more attractive option

• developing sector-led comparable and harmonised Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to help monitor freight performance on the RFCs

• improved quality and accuracy of the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) to track the location of the goods

• identifying an efficient way of cooperation between the Core Network Corridors (CNCs) and RFCs and the TEN-T technical parameters to be prioritised from a market perspective

2. Enhancing operational efficiency

• create an automatic electronic connection (TAF/TAP TSI) between Path Coordination System (PCS) and any national system to reduce manual input and the risk of mistaken entry

• improve harmonization of operational processes at borders for fewer delays at borders, lower costs, and increased efficiency and reliability of services offered

• facilitating ERTMS implementation through a close coordination of all actors to ensure that ERTMS migration will be affordable and beneficial for the rail freight sector

3. Ensuring adequate capacity for all users• implementation of the Time Table Redesign project (TTR) to

make railways more competitive and offer higher flexibility for rail freight and passenger traffic

• Improve coordination of Temporary Capacity Restrictions (TCRs) to manage capacity efficiently and ensure a smooth flow of the traffic

• revising and updating of the capacity concepts offered via the RFCs to provide a capacity solution for each market requirement

• Harmonised structure and text of the Corridor Information Document (CID) to reduce the administrative burden of IMs and facilitate the business of the RFC customer

Conclusion: important prerequisites for tackling challenges to boost rail freight are in place

• work within SSG has improved communication and cooperation between all sector stakeholders

• interaction with transport ministers has been supportive in providing more transparency and trust

• these actions have set in motion a process of tangible improvement for European rail freight transport

• Priority 10 on harmonisation of CID has been completed• new Priority 11 on International Contingency Management has

been added!

Next steps? Rail sector is committed to boosting rail freight but we cannot do it aloneTo realize modal shift to rail freight, support from national and European authorities is needed by:

• promoting the harmonization of national interpretations of European legislation

• providing support for the integration of national and international processes

• providing better predictability at national level for investments in rail infrastructure

• targeting investments for rail freight through EU and national funding mechanisms, and other measures supporting rail freight

Benefits of TTR

EXPECTATIONS FROM THE SECTOR

4

MORE RELIABLE TIMETABLES

Temporary Capacity Restrictions (TCRs) are necessary but enhanced international coordination and available short-term capacity for TCRs will improve reliability!

BEFORE TTR:There was no common international process to coordinate TCRs, leading to waste of available infrastructure capacity.

5

FLEXIBLE TIMETABLING PRODUCTS FOR FREIGHT

Flexible timetabling products available on short notice will make rail freight competitive again!

BEFORE TTR:IMs offer inflexible products to a market which mostly requires high flexibility

6

EARLIER OFFER FOR CUSTOMERS

Passenger RUs can open booking systems 6 months before timetable change!

BEFORE TTR:Offers can be provided only 3 months before the timetable change, which is not competitive to other modes of transport

7

BEFORE TTR:Permanent changes of planning parameters, non-compliance with international processes and a patchwork of national IT systems (which lack interfaces to international systems) lead to unnecessary and redundant work.

By ensuring harmonized international cooperation, supported by digitalization, timetable planning will increase efficiency for all stakeholders!

INCREASED EFFICIENCY

ACHIEVEMENTS

• Overall process defined and confirmed by participating IMs and RUs (RNE, FTE and ERFA)

• Framework parameters definedo Digitalizationo Legal frameworko Commercial Conditions

• Pilots launchedo First test of innovative components on 3 pilot lines on RFCso Preparation of a first network pilot on ÖBB INFRA networko Additional test of TTR components on national level by IMso Increased cooperation between participating companies
