Product-Packages of ÖBB-Infrastructure • Minimum Access Package Train Operations • Shunting Personnel Services • Access to Passenger Stations • Stabling
Product Package „Train Operations“ (m.a.p.) • The following services are included: • Processing of requests for the allocation of train paths submitted by licensed RUs • Use of tracks and switches according to train path agreement • Train control including signalling and information transmission related to it, use of telecommunications installations designed for operational purposes • Use of overhead contact lines (excluding energy supply) • Monitoring of contractually agreed transport services (information pursuant to point 12.3 of the General Terms of Business) • Administrative support in the event of operational disturbances including allocation of alternative train paths, if necessary
Regulations for charges according to EU-Directive 01/14 Minimum access package: • Charges for running a train should be as high as the costs of infrastructure directly incurred by that specific train (marginal costs?) • Mark-ups permitted for scarcities • Mark-ups permitted for further cost-recovery as long as the market can bear them • External costs of running a train (noise, pollution, accidents) can be part of the charges, but this proportion of revenues has to be delivered to the state budget as long as such charges are not in place at other modes

Product Package „Access to Passenger Stations“ • Access to platforms in stations according to their availability and according to the agreed timetable • Traffic-related information of passengers e. g. about connections, delays etc. by the available means (loudspeakers, electronic displays)
Prices 2003 for Product Package „Parking“[€] • Fee per vehicle and day stabled • Price: 2,00 € • Day stabled: Idle vehicles which are not integrated in an actual transport cycle and are stabled on infrastructure track for more than 24 hours before further destination
Infrastructure Charges: Experience and Outlook • Further product- and price-differentiation will be necessary Targets for differentiation: - market segment - quality levels - bottlenecks • Focus on customer-service: - additional services - seamless documentation from call to bill • Reflection of cost-drivers: - track-friendliness of engines - differentiation between long-term and ad-hoc business - identification of bottlenecks • Fight for a levelled playing field in the competition with other modes of traffic!!!
Cooperation of Infrastructure Managers
Goals of Rail Net Europe • Common organization and processes to act like one single infrastructure- manager towards the customer • Simplification, improvement and promotion of border-crossing rail traffic both for freight and passenger trains • Reduction of operative and administrative barriers in international rail traffic • Realization of common structures in marketing and sales • Major improvement of the competitiveness of rail
OneStopShop-Functionalities Regardless of the organizational realization within the respective infrastructure-manager, the OneStopShop-functionalities according to the RNE-principles comprise: • Sales:Sale of train-paths and additional infrastructure services internationally via onepoint of sales • Timetabling:Construction of seamless international train-paths according to the customer’s needs • Operations:Realization of an international train-path at the required quality level, accompanied by suitable systems and tools for communication => Packages of seamless international services from origin to destination and from call to bill

Essential Functions according to EU-Directive 01/12 • Allocation of capacities: Decisions about the timetable => determines costs of operations and possibilities for maintenance • Charging: Decision about prices for infra-services => determines revenues of the infrastructure-manager Separation of these functions from the infrastructure-manager means: • Increased transaction costs due to additional interfaces • No entrepreneurial incentives to the infrastructure manager • Impossibility to take economic responsibility by the infrastructure-manager
