  1. RETRACK: Setting up an innovative rail freight servicebetween North Sea and Black SeaWP 12: Knowledge Base ETIS+ Conference, Brussels 27 May 2011 Paul van de Lande, TNO

  2. Contents • Background and objectives RETRACK • RETRACK project structure and activities • WP 12: Knowledge Base • Work planning

  3. Policy background • Strong rail freight market crucial for socio-economic and environmental targets, within the EU and between the EU and surrounding countries • European transport policy based on level playing field and fair competition • Two decades of liberalisation in rail freight: • Emergence of new rail private operators • From marginal to major players • Incumbents fight back: mergers and acquisitions • Concrete actions to support this EU policy: develop and demonstrate new rail freight services with private operators on selected corridors

  4. Corridor development ERTMS Corridors planned TEN-T/ERTMS Corridors A-F

  5. RETRACK corridor analysis Rotterdam: Dry/liquid bulk Maritime containers Duisburg: All cargo Ludwigshafen: dry/liquid bulk Bratislava/Kosice: Steel/automotive Oradea, Constanta, All cargo Wels or Vienna: All cargo Budapest: All cargo Feeder point for Slovakia

  6. RETRACK project • FP6, Integrated Project, supported by DG MOVE • Objective: develop, demonstrate, and implement innovative and market-proven rail freight service along NW-SE corridor, by a group of private railway companies • Project duration: May 2007– August 2012 • Project Budget: app. 23 million euro • 13 Work Packages • 11 consortium partners: R&D/IT consultants: Rail operators/ Railway companies:

  9. Demonstration status-quo Parties: TransPetrol: Rail operator Traction providerrs on main route: MWB: NL – Keulen – Passau LTE: Passau – Hegyeshalom CER: Hegyeshalom – Gyor : Gyor – xxx: ServTrans • Transported goods: • Automotives • Chemical, • Agri-bulk • Continental & maritime containers Rotterdam • Current challenges: • Extend service to RO • Infra. condition, charges in HU, RO. • High shunting costs • OSS not working yet Keulen Antwerp Passau Hegyeshalom Debrecen Orosháza Györ Hajduboszormeny • Train Characteristics: • 600 m in length • Up to 2.200 t (1800 ton) • Frequency: >3x/wk, more demand • Transit time: 21 hours (16 hours) Szabadegyhaza Constanta

  10. RETRACK corridor extension

  11. WP 12 Objectives • The RETRACK Knowledge Base shall contribute to: • Improve the quality of infrastructure modelling in the field of capacity and infrastructure management • Development of business models with integration of different transport modes and collaboration strategies • Establishment of a web-based platform for monitoring and development of trans-European rail freight corridors • Improvement of the rail freight market opening by providing transparent monitoring of market and framework conditions • Generic approach for various corridors in combination with ETIS+ leads to substantial information tool

  12. Knowledge Base elements • Web portal and contents management system • A public and a restricted document repository and search system • Table data: data viewer with tables, maps and charts and data editor • Geo data: network data viewer with infrastructure and topology • Survey system to define, conduct and visualise online surveys • Support data exchange with external systems as TENTec, Gisco, TRANSTOOLS, ETIS+

  13. Knowledge Base target group • EC Policy makers and agencies, amongst others: • DG Move • TEN – TEA • ERRAC • Rail freight Corridor managers • National policy makers • National infrastructure managers • Commercial rail operators • Branche organisations, a/o UIRR, UIC, Xrail, CER, ESC • Individual customers, 3PLP’s, shippers • Others, a/o R&D institutes, consultants, interest groups
