The Problems with the Current TT ProcessThe current timetabling process does not fulfil the needs of the market and varies from country to country.

This lack of quality leads to a loss of attractiveness :

• Constantly changes in planning (for both RUs and IMs)

• Unused capacity bookings (for both paths and TCRs )reducing available capacity and causing unnecessary coordination processes

• Different planning procedures in different countries

Result: High costs, unsatisfied end customers and missed business opportunities! MARKET SHARE

EFFICIENCY

Current Situation: Examples→ today freight RUs have to order their train paths 8 to 20 months in advance

→ therefore freight RUs are booking ‘on the safe side’

→ Infrastructure capacity therefore heavily overbooked

→ just 20-25 % of freight train path requests are stable

→ 75-80 % of freight train path requests have to be modified constantly, resulting in a big waste of resources on both sides: RUs and IMs

→ leftover capacity does not really exist because of RU requests

→ in total: clear situation of capacity waste

Introduction: What is TTR?TTR is the joint project of RailNetEurope and Forum Train Europe to

• simplify • unify • solidify

improvements to the European rail timetabling system to significantly increase

the competitiveness of railways.

They are being supported by the European Rail Freight Association (ERFA).

Detecting Market NeedsThe TTR concept is based on the following marked needs:

o Flexibility, especially in the freight sector

o Possibility for earlier commercial use of paths, e.g. earlier ticket sales

o Reduction in load peaks and redundant work

o Higher stability and quality of timetables

TTR Approach: Detecting RequirementsThe TTR concept is based on the market needs:

Provide adequate capacity request methods

Plan capacity in advance and take into consideration:

- Market requirements

- Available capacity

RUs

TTR Team

IMs

- A request method for later requests(especially required by freight traffic)

- The current timetabling process, but improved(especially required by passenger traffic)

But we also have capacity restrictions!

Page 19: REDESIGN OF THE INTERNATIONAL TIMETABLING PROCESS (TTR) · 9 TTR Vision Implementation of the TTR process started with a clear vision: o Main focus on freight and passenger market

19

Need for Advanced PlanningIn order to support both approaches, capacity needs to be planned and partitioned, before the start of the request phase (‘Advanced Planning’).

We need capacity for my early requests!

But safeguard capacity for our later requests!

We have capacity restrictions!

IM

RU1 RU2

- Capacity Models must be created to ensure the inclusion of all market requirements

- Construction works and other Temporary Capacity Restrictions (TCRs) must be taken into consideration

- Capacity Models must be created for each line and for every year

- Advanced Planning must focus on origin to destination approach

The TTR Process: From Rough to Detailed Information

The redesigned timetabling process consists of several components to cover advance as well as short-term planning and provides products for stable as well as variable market needs.

Page 22: REDESIGN OF THE INTERNATIONAL TIMETABLING PROCESS (TTR) · 9 TTR Vision Implementation of the TTR process started with a clear vision: o Main focus on freight and passenger market

22

Capacity Strategy

The creation of the capacity strategy starts five years before the timetable change and allows all stakeholders to announce and pre-coordinate these influencing factors at an early planning stage.

24

Capacity Model and Partitioning: PrinciplesThe Capacity Partitioning follows two principles:

1) Partitioning by market needs:

Capacity required for TCRs

Capacity available for ATT (especially for passenger)

Capacity safeguarded for RP (especially for freight)

Note: If required, ATT can be planned for freight and RP for passenger traffic as well

2) Inclusion as path or band:

Capacity bands blocked for TCRs

Capacity bands with one or several paths

System paths with exact path details

Page 25: REDESIGN OF THE INTERNATIONAL TIMETABLING PROCESS (TTR) · 9 TTR Vision Implementation of the TTR process started with a clear vision: o Main focus on freight and passenger market

25

Temporary Capacity Restrictions (TCRs)TCRs are defined in the latest recast Annex VII of Directive 2012/34/EU and in the TCR Guidelines issued by RNE:

TCRs must become predictable to stabilise all offers!

Consecutive days Impact on traffic*Deadline for final

publication

Major impact TCR > 30 > 50% X-18

High impact TCR > 7 > 30% X-13,5

Medium impact TCR 7 <= > 50% X-12

Minor impact TCR 7 <= > 10% X-4*)Percentage of estimated traffic volume on a railway line per day

cancelled, rerouted or replaced by other modes of transport

Page 26: REDESIGN OF THE INTERNATIONAL TIMETABLING PROCESS (TTR) · 9 TTR Vision Implementation of the TTR process started with a clear vision: o Main focus on freight and passenger market

26

Current TCR DevelopmentsProcess

- TCR Guidelines were created, covering all provisions of Annex VII of Directive 2012/34/EU

- To further serve the needs of the market, and improve the process with a realistic approach, RNE has started the project ‘TCRs in Timetabling Process’.

- Together with FTE, use cases and best practice examples have been created (shared with RU Dialogue)

IT

RNE has provided a first version of the TCR Tool, firstly deployed on RFC Rhine-Alpine in December 2019 for limited real-life usage (major/high/medium impact TCRs).

Further improvements are underway:

- Provision of interfaces

- Functional improvements and simplifications in the tool

Expected full rollout in December 2020

Note: Most TCR developments are steered via and conducted by the RNE TCR Working Group

Page 27: REDESIGN OF THE INTERNATIONAL TIMETABLING PROCESS (TTR) · 9 TTR Vision Implementation of the TTR process started with a clear vision: o Main focus on freight and passenger market

27

Provision of Capacity SupplyTo ensure quick and efficient answers to path requests, it must be clear which capacity is available. Note: This is not to be confused with the Capacity Model!

Until X-18: Capacity Model:

- Representation of a model time period (e.g. working day, week)

- Allows pre-planning of capacity, including harmonisation, detection of pressure points/creation of alternatives and inclusion of all market needs.

Starting X-11: Capacity Supply:

- Actual available capacity expressed in capacity products (paths + bandwidths)

- Enables quick access to capacity and provides an overview of available capacity to the applicants.

Page 28: REDESIGN OF THE INTERNATIONAL TIMETABLING PROCESS (TTR) · 9 TTR Vision Implementation of the TTR process started with a clear vision: o Main focus on freight and passenger market

28

Request Method ‘Annual Request’

The ‘Annual Request’ option offers the possibility of an early request and early response.

Benefit: Booking systems can be opened earlier

(aim: 6 months prior to the timetable change).

Page 29: REDESIGN OF THE INTERNATIONAL TIMETABLING PROCESS (TTR) · 9 TTR Vision Implementation of the TTR process started with a clear vision: o Main focus on freight and passenger market

29

Request Method ‘Rolling Planning Request’This method will draw from capacity already assigned in the capacity model and safeguarded for the specific purpose of short-notice requests.

Benefit: Quick response times provide the flexibility needed to react to fluctuating market needs as they occur.

Page 30: REDESIGN OF THE INTERNATIONAL TIMETABLING PROCESS (TTR) · 9 TTR Vision Implementation of the TTR process started with a clear vision: o Main focus on freight and passenger market

30

Goals of Rolling Planning RequestReduce the number of annual ‘phantom’ requests

o Remove obligation to request based on best guesses

o Remove unnecessary (non-existing) conflicts

Provide alternative request method to the annual request

o Designed based on freight RUs’ needs but also available for passenger traffic

o Balance the need for stability (creation of capacity models, reduce request period) and flexibility (shift of the path request deadline, quick answers)

o Note: Rolling Planning is not intended as alternative to the ad hoc request

Ensure high quality capacity offers

o Based on dedicated (‘safeguarded’) capacity

o Answers in short period of time

Support applicants in their long-term planning and thus in their investments

Positive Effects of All Components Implemented

Freight RUs

can request shortly before the train run knowing all path details and being assured to receive high-quality paths

Passenger RUs

can plan early and open their booking system 6 months prior to the timetable change

IMs

can stabilise their plans, reduce redundancies in the timetabling process, make better use of the available infrastructure capacity and provide harmonised high-quality offers

Basic IT Architecture

The future TTR IT landscape is split into two main blocks:

o The central IT framework, developed by RNE

o National and external systems, which need to communicate with the central IT framework

Communication between systems will be based on TAF/TAP TSI standards.

Modules of the RU LayerCapacity Needs Announcements: Using this module, RUs will announce their capacity needs for the upcoming timetable period in advance to help IMs predict the traffic volume for accurate capacity modelling.

Train Harmonisation: This module will support information exchange on, and harmonisation of, train characteristics (load, weight, length, border handling etc.), train routes and train composition.

Path Request Management: Using the Path Request Management module, RUs will submit path requests to each IM, using the data harmonised in the Train Harmonisation module.

44

Modules of the IM Layer

TCR (Temporary Capacity Restrictions): The TCR module collects all available information on planned TCRs in one dedicated space. This helps IMs to coordinate at international level and decrease the negative influence of TCRs on train operation.

Capacity Hub: The Capacity Hub module collects all data from the IMs/ABs and RUs and provides an overview of available capacity and TCRs in an early stage of planning.

Capacity Broker: By means of an algorithm, this module checks available capacity against the IMs’/ABs national systems, and distributes it according to RUs’ requests.

Path Management: The Path Management module ensures that international path coordination is done in a harmonised format by all involved parties.

Legal Framework: Introduction

The current legal framework (European and national laws) reflects existing capacity management processes, which do no longer (fully) meet market needs.

A team of legal experts from RNE Members, FTE, CER, EIM and CIT*

o Investigated how to support TTR in terms of legal framework conditions

o Provides ongoing legal analysis

*DG MOVE joins the task force as observer from May 2020

Page 53: REDESIGN OF THE INTERNATIONAL TIMETABLING PROCESS (TTR) · 9 TTR Vision Implementation of the TTR process started with a clear vision: o Main focus on freight and passenger market

53

Preliminary findings on the Legal Framework Some shortcomings have been identified, which might result in a high degree of legal uncertainty if TTR was to be implemented fully under the existing legal framework:

▪ No common understanding among stakeholders on key questions of interpretation of the legal framework, e.g.:

➢ can provisions of Article 48 of Directive 2012/34/EU serve as a basis to accommodate the rolling planning concept (even for TTR full roll-out)?

➢ can ATT requests be rejected if this is necessary to protect rolling planning capacity?

▪ Diverging transposition of provisions of Directive 2012/34/EU at national level, e.g.:

➢ possibility to safeguard capacity exists but is subject to specific national requirements (e.g. capacity can only be reserved for specific types of transport)

➢ possibility for safeguarding of capacity for ad hoc requests (Article 48(2)) not transposed into national law

Page 54: REDESIGN OF THE INTERNATIONAL TIMETABLING PROCESS (TTR) · 9 TTR Vision Implementation of the TTR process started with a clear vision: o Main focus on freight and passenger market

54

Preliminary Conclusions

In some Member States uncertainties about compliance of TTR with the legal framework lead to serious hesitation to proceed with the implementation of TTR

Adjustments to the legal framework at European level seem required to enable a harmonised implementation of TTR

TTR Commercial Conditions: Introduction

Rail capacity is wasted, mainly due to

o Constant changes of planning parameters (both: RU and IM)

o Capacity blocked but not used by stakeholders

To encourage stakeholders to use the process and capacity products as efficiently as possible, common, harmonised commercial conditions have to be applied to avoid misuse/spoiling of capacity (‘who breaks pays’).

Elements of Commercial ConditionsProcess elements that require steering through commercial conditions:

o Path cancellation by applicant

o Non-usage of a path by applicant

o Cancellation of a partially non-used path by IM

o Path modification by applicant

o Path alteration by IM

Note: A scope extension to requested but not yet allocated paths is under consideration.

Introduction to TTR Pilots

In order to test the new approach to capacity management developed in TTR, several pilots have been launched:

o To improve the process

o To detect pressure points

o To use lessons learned for full TTR rollout

Page 64: REDESIGN OF THE INTERNATIONAL TIMETABLING PROCESS (TTR) · 9 TTR Vision Implementation of the TTR process started with a clear vision: o Main focus on freight and passenger market

List of Pilots

Three pilot lines along Rail Freight Corridors (RFCs) were launched in 2017 to introduce capacity models and test the innovative Rolling Planning request based on safeguarded capacity:

o Mannheim – Miranda de Ebro (starting in timetable 2021)

o Antwerp – Rotterdam (starting in timetable 2020)

o Munich – Verona (starting in timetable 2020)

To complement the test results, a network pilot will be conducted on the core network of ÖBB INFRA starting in timetable 2021.

Further pilots and extensions are currently being considered.

TTR Pilots: Achievementso Development of functioning organisations for the respective pilots

o Creation of Capacity Models with the support of applicants for TT 2020

o Elaboration of a first tool for visualising the Capacity Model (Electronic Capacity Model Tool / ECMT)

o Availability of a tool (PCS) for placing the first Rolling Planning requests in August 2019

o Good cooperation thanks to highly motivated IMs

o Broad-based willingness of stakeholders (Ministries, Regulatory Bodies, applicants) to participate in the pilots

TTR Pilots: Lessons Learnedo Management attention is crucial for the success of the pilots

o Planning and coordination of TCRs respecting 2012/34 Annex VII is still difficult: This is crucial to make requests later than annual requests for freight RUs possible (also now)

o Benefits for passenger RUs must be tested as well

o Ministries of Transport and Regulatory Bodies are required to implement strategic thinking (not only based on existing laws) and allow tests

o Need for increased resources for IT implementation (nat. and internat. level)

o Commercial Conditions required to influence applicants’ path requesting behaviour and IMs’ allocation processes (incentive to respect agreed processes)

o Multi-annual validity of a Rolling Planning request require legal backing

Implementation in PackagesPre-conditions must be provided in time to start each TTR phase:

All pre-conditions must be implemented nationally as well. Any delayed start of the implementation means late rollout of TTR.

The implementation has already started!

Successful Implementation of TTR

The market needs TTR – we must start performing now!

• Railways lose market share and interest in investing in railways

decreases.

• Therefore, TTR is highly anticipated by many European stakeholders.

• The status quo is not an option anymore.

• We cannot wait for others to do our job.

• Even the ambitious timeline of implementing for TT 2025 was

labelled as too late by the CEOs of freight RUs (‘30 by 2030’).
