2. Trans-European Transport Network • Central network will connect: • principal European maritime portthrough railway and road links; • principal airports through railway links to big cities; • 15 000 km of railway lines for high speed; • 35 cross border major projects for reducing road bottlenecks. RAILWAY DAYS - 2016

3. In November 2013, European Parliamenthas adopted in a formal manner the TEN-T Guideand financial instruments forConnecting Europe Facility (CEF). • From the functional point of view is required, beside the alignment to technical specification of interoperability (TSI), total electrification of the railway lines and ERTMS equipment before 2050. • Uniform implementation of this standards was set already through freight transportation corridors with Regulation (EU) 913/2010modified by Regulation (EU) 1316/2013.

4. TallinnCorridors vs. HelsinkiCorridors • TEN-TNetworkexists in European Unionfrom early ’80. • In the ’90 were introduce Priority Projects (Priority Axes) of TEN-Tnetwork. • In this moment is in progress 30 priority projects, each project was focus on a single way of transportation (monomodal). • Romaniais crossed by the route Priority Projects7, by railway routePriority Projects22 and by Priority Projects18, Danube. RAILWAY DAYS - 2016

5. Implicationsfor Romania In the new structure of lines, Romaniais crossed by: • Corridor Orient/East-Mediterranean • Corridor Rin – Danube For the railways, route Priority Projects22remain unchanged: Curtici – Arad – Sighişoara – Braşov – Bucureşti – Constanţa (north branch), respectivelyCurtici – Arad – Timişoara – Dr. Tr. Severin – Craiova – Calafat (south branch). RAILWAY DAYS - 2016

6. The news is the introduction in Corridor Rin – Danubeof the Bucharest railway ring, becoming in this way suitable for funding between 2014 – 2020. For the first time is created a Romanian TEN-T map showinghigh speed railway lines. It will be a dedicated lines, 100% new construction, with no connection to conventional lines that are already on that route. The construction projects are scheduled to take place between 2017 – 2025. RAILWAY DAYS - 2016

7. Master Plan TAF-TSI General Presentation • Directive 2008/57/EC amended by Regulation (EU) No 1305/2014 imposed to all railway organizations to determine the constructive interoperability components for: • Infrastructure; • Energy; • Control, comand and signals; • Traffic activities and management; • Rolling Stock; • Maintenance; • Telematics applications forpassengers and freight.

8. Functionalities for Railway Undertakings (RU)  Data from Consignment Note  Dataregarding thewagon and intermodal transportation units (WIMO)  Wagons Movements  Estimated Time for Arrival (ETA) Common Functionalitiesfor Infrastructure Managers/ Railway Undertakings (IM/RU)  Common Graphic Interface  Reference Files  Information's over train circulation and delay causes  Train Forecast  Interruption of Service  Train localization  Train preparation  Ad hocpath requests RAILWAY DAYS - 2016

9. TAF-TSIwas approved before the publishing ofCorridor Regulation 913/2010, because of that the processes described in de regulator are not found in TAF-TSI. The Regulation addresses two major Functionalitiesin the development of railway goods transportation corridors in terms of infrastructure and performance. Path Allocation  Traffic Management Regarding the path allocation the specific objectives are the insurance for the process flux and the efficiency in obtaining the optimal path, using ITtools.

10. TAF IMPLEMENTATION IN ROMANIA – TAF4RO The Project (Action) is part of a Global Project to implement in Romania the full range of Technical Standards for Interoperability (TSI) and aims to support the national Infrastructure Manager Compania Naţională de Căi Ferate (CFR) and the freight Railway Undertakings (RUs) to implement and ensure the compliance of the rail IT systems with the technical specifications for interoperability for the telematics applications for freight (TSI TAF). The implementation of the TSI TAF in Romania is of utmost importance to allow the freight RUs to interoperate in a standard way and to connect efficiently with the national Infrastructure Manager. This applies also to freight RUs registered in other countries willing to operate their trains on the Romanian network. RAILWAY DAYS - 2016

20. Personal Opinion Each railway company that has to realize Functionalities by own means, is responsible for implementingTAF. According to assumed arrangements by the railway transport community, they will implement the functionalitiesforTAF-TSI until 2020. The Project entails developing a telematics solution able to implement the whole set of messages defined in the TSI TAF Regulation. The Project will deliver an IT platform with three levels of sophistication depending on the size and complexity of the RU, in which the latter will be able to manage the relevant elements of cross-border transport contracts in line with RFC VII objectives and the horizontal interaction with transportation partners. Informatica Feroviara SAis fully engaged in this process. RAILWAY DAYS - 2016
