  2. Agenda • Concept of RBGC - WP5 Connectivity Pilot • Current status • Ferry integration • Railway integration • Additional features • Next steps

  3. Concept of RBGC - WP5 Connectivity Pilot Brief overview

  4. Aims of Rail Baltica Growth Corridor Connectivity Pilot • Making use of existing EU-Spirit services for Rail Baltica and • Extending service area around the Baltic Sea • Implementing Rail and Ferry information for long distance • Integrating additional systems • Warsaw already done (via the CAPRICEE project) • Poznan (via German EFRE project e-KOM) • Lodz/Bialystok (in clarification) • Finnish system (to be clarified)

  5. Extending EU-Spirit services in the RBGC region By end of 2011 Within RBGC

  6. Connectivity Pilot (1): Extending Rail Service in EU-Spirit • Railserviceintegrationconcept • Key elementforoverall Baltic Sea Region (I) • Clarificationofsystemmaintanance • UIC/Meritsprovidedby DSB • Technical integrationinto EU-Spirit (centralcomponents) • Integration of European stationsasstartanddestination • Definition ofinterconnectionsbetweenpublictransportandrail • Extendingexisting EU-Spirit systems

  7. Connectivity Pilot (2):Ferry Service Integration in EU-Spirit • Ferry serviceintegrationconcept • Key elementforoverall Baltic Sea Region (II) • Main prerequisiteforFinnishintegration in EU-Spirit • Clarificationoftimetabledatamaintananceandmanagement • Technical integrationinto EU-Spirit (centralcomponents) • Defining Interconnections • betweenpublictransport, railandferries • for intermodal information (metadata) • Extendingexisting EU-Spirit systems

  8. Currentstatus of WP5 activities

  9. Last meetings • 27th/28th of September (Warsaw) • WP5 meeting • 3rd/4th of November (Berlin) • WP5 and EU-Spirit meeting

  10. Ferry dataintegration (1) • VBB in charge of collecting and maintaining data • Will be integrated into EU-Spirit long distance server • Integrated travels train/ferry possible • New transition points at ferry terminals

  11. Ferry dataintegration (2)technicaldetails • Maintenance and export of Check-in / Check-out times for ferries • Plausibility check for ferry speed • Detailed hub modeling for ferry terminals (data to be delivered) • Time zone support (ferries from / to Helsinki and Baltic states) • Support for latitude/longitude coordinates(needed because of the dimensions of the Baltic Sea area) Next step • Import of Check-in and Check-out times for ferries

  12. Ferry dataintegration (3) • Rejseplanen • gets ferry data from www.faergen.dk and updates monthly • VBB is allowed to use Danish ferry data • Samtrafiken • 14 lines available from Samtrafiken’s IVU.pool • data exchange agreement VBB <> Samtrafiken in process

  13. Ferry dataintegration (4)what‘sleft? • 5 lines to be integrated manually • lines to be delivered by Samtrafiken • DFDS: Oslo-København(not via Helsingborg) • Scandlines:Helsingborg-Helsingør • Tallink:Stockholm-Mariehamn-Tallinn; Stockholm-Riga • Silja Line:Stockholm-Mariehamn-Turku; Stockholm-Långnäs-Turku;Stockholm-Mariehamn-Helsinki • Viking Line:Stockholm-Mariehamn-Turku; Stockholm-Långnäs-Turku;Stockholm-Mariehamn-Helsinki; Kappelskär-Mariehamn • Destination Gotland:Nynäshamn-Visby;Oskarshamn-Visby • Stena Line:Göteborg-Kiel

  14. Railwaydataintegration (1) • Merits Railway data • European Railway data from UIC • time tables and stations • Merits data converter • data converter needed due to unusual data format • work in progress • minor changes in long distance transition points possible

  15. Railwaydataintegration (2) • Timeline • January 2012 : Test system with Merits data ready • March 2012 : Integrate ferry data into Merits test system • Next steps • providing list of ferry harbours • Ferry harbours to be included into transition point list • Partners have to check which ferry harbours should be used as Transition points

  16. Additional featuresin EU-Spirit • Direct connecntion preference • always tries to find direct flights additionally • long-distance server changed in July 2011 • automatically used

  17. Next steps within WP5

  18. Integration of Finnish systeminto EU-Spirit

  19. Next steps/ ToDos 2012 • Clarification: WhichFinnishsystem(s) shouldbeintegrated? • hsl.fi or matka.fi / journey.fi? • other? • Additional RBGC projectwork • Compatibility check of national travel information systems • Identifying relevant stakeholdersforsettingup a stakeholdernetwork • Demonstration Berlin-Poznan-Warsawfor EURO 2012
