Target network 2025+ represents a capableinfrastructureformoretrains, passengers, goods, andsynchronisedtraffic. Strategic Targets Infrastructure Operations OeBB • Key Figures – Network 2025+ • (accordingtotrafficforecasts) • ~ 4800 km ofrailroads • ~ 9000 trains per day • ~ 300 millionpassengers per year • ~ 142 milliontonsofgoods per year • ~ 198 million km coveredbytrains • Key Figures – Network 2012 • 5000 km of railroads • 6500 trains per day • 224 million passengers per year • 113 million tons of goods per year • 142 million km coveredbytrains Source: N.Pausch, ÖBB-Inrastruktur AG • Reducedheadwaytimes - Efficientuseofinfrastructure • Higher trainspeeds • Synchronisedtrafficwith well linkedconnections • Energyefficiency
Main PillarsofStrategy Implementation Automatisation Centralisation ETCSdeployment ContinuedElectronic Interlocking rollout Civil works related network adaptations and improvements
Integrated Operations - Automatisation Timetabling Process visualizationForecastingConflict detection Automated operation Customer information Automated shunting… and more Safe & Secure Remote Control Route Control – Interlocking Work site protectionTrain Control – ETCS
Increasingproductivity Enhancing quality Assuring the highest level of safety Integrated Operations - Centralisation • 5 Operation Control Centers (OCC) are responsible for the control and dispatching of the complete core network of the ÖBB
Longterm Investment Strategyfor Integrated Operations • In 2032 • approx. 1,700employees • in networkoperations • Approx. 94staffedlocaloperationsites • Approx. 145,000 Train km covered per employee • 2032 Objective: • The operation control-strategy has been implemented for the whole network • the implementation is linked to projects within the future network 2025+ • 2012 The operation control-strategy is being implemented • 1 integrated traffic management centre • 5 operation control centres • In 2012 • 3,170employees • in networkoperations • 310 staffedlocaloperationsites • 51,000 Train km coveredper employee • Initial Position • 4,455 employees • in networkoperations • 530 staffedlocaloperationsites • 37,000 Train km covered per employee • 2005 Decision to implement the operation strategy at ÖBB Source: N.Pausch, ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG

First ETCS Level 2 Project in Austria • First ETCS L2 implementation for Austrian Railways with two line sections on main railway corridor • Project duration: May 2009 – Dec 2012 • First Putting into operation ETCS L2 in AustriaDecember 9th, 2012
OeBB‘sOperations Experience - Major Achievements • Significant travel time reduction: • Vienna – Salzburg 2:20 h 2013: 1 Million Train KMs reached Upto270 trains/daywithspeedsupto230 km/h 2013: lessthan 200 delayminutes/monthcausedby ETCS
Experience and recommendations Involveexperts with practical background from the very beginning Set aclear target with corresponding timeline and let them work –without intervention! Cooperate with suppliers as close as you can Necessity of clear and detailed operational and technical specifications Supplementary integrations lab for early system testing
