TIMETABLING AND CAPACITY REDESIGN (TTR) - Overall Presentation
The Problems with the Current TT Process
The current timetabling process does not fulfil the needs of the market and varies from
country to country.
This lack of quality leads to a loss of attractiveness :
• Constantly changes in planning (for both RUs and IMs)
• Unused capacity bookings (for both paths and TCRs )
  reducing available capacity and causing unnecessary coordination processes
• Different planning procedures in different countries
Result: High costs, unsatisfied end customers
        and missed business opportunities!                       MARKET SHARE
                                                                  EFFICIENCY

                                                                                    3
TIMETABLING AND CAPACITY REDESIGN (TTR) - Overall Presentation
Current Situation: Examples
→ today freight RUs have to order their train paths 8 to 20 months in advance
→ therefore freight RUs are booking ‘on the safe side’
→ Infrastructure capacity therefore heavily overbooked
→ just 20-25 % of freight train path requests are stable

→ 75-80 % of freight train path requests have to be modified constantly, resulting
  in a big waste of resources on both sides: RUs and IMs
→ leftover capacity does not really exist because of RU requests
→ in total: clear situation of capacity waste

                                                                                4

Introduction: What is TTR?
TTR is the joint project of RailNetEurope and Forum Train Europe to

 simplify    unify    solidify

improvements to the European rail timetabling system to significantly increase
the competitiveness of railways.

They are being supported by the European Rail Freight Association (ERFA).

                                                                                 5

Detecting Market Needs
The TTR concept is based on the following
marked needs:

o Flexibility, especially in the freight sector
o Possibility for earlier commercial use of
  paths, e.g. earlier ticket sales
o Reduction in load peaks and redundant           Market
  work
                                                  Needs
o Higher stability and quality of timetables

TTR Vision
Implementation of the TTR process started with a clear vision:

o Main focus on freight and passenger market needs with optimised request
  deadlines
o Improved reliability and stability incl. temporary capacity restrictions (TCRs)
o Binding implementation and application of the redesigned timetabling process
  (TTR)
o Increased efficiency (capacities, resources) in order to avoid duplication of
  work and planning efforts

                                                                                    9

Benefits of TTR
o Optimised usage of infrastructure capacity
  → more efficiency
  → more flexibility
o Heavily decreased effort for path requests
  → ordering at any point of time
  → no more wasted resources for constant amendments

                TTR is needed to keep railways competitive!

                                                              10
Financial Benefits of TTR

    - Investments and IT
    - Change Management
      and HR costs

-   Modal shift and increased
    use of infrastructure capacity
-   Cost reduction due to
    efficient planning procedures

The TTR Process

                  17
TTR Approach: Detecting Requirements
 The TTR concept is based on the market needs:

- A request method for later requests                  Provide adequate capacity
  (especially required by freight traffic)             request methods

- The current timetabling process, but improved        Plan capacity in advance and
  (especially required by passenger traffic)           take into consideration:
                                                       - Market requirements
                              But we also have         - Available capacity
                              capacity restrictions!

                                                                      TTR Team

Need for Advanced Planning
    In order to support both approaches, capacity needs to be planned and
    partitioned, before the start of the request phase (‘Advanced Planning’).

The TTR Process: From Rough to Detailed Information

The redesigned timetabling process consists of several components to cover
advance as well as short-term planning and provides products for stable as well
as variable market needs.

                                                                              20
Components of the TTR Process
Main components are:

                           Additional process components:
                           o Leading entities
                           o Allocation rules
                           o Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

                                                                 21
Capacity Strategy

The creation of the capacity
strategy starts five years before the
timetable change and allows all
stakeholders to announce and pre-
coordinate these influencing factors
at an early planning stage.

Capacity Model and Partitioning: Principles
The Capacity Partitioning follows two principles:
1) Partitioning by market needs:             2) Inclusion as path or band:

            Capacity required for TCRs

            Capacity available for ATT                                Capacity bands
            (especially for passenger)                                blocked for TCRs
                                                                      System paths with
            Capacity safeguarded for RP                               exact path details
            (especially for freight)                                  Capacity bands with
                                                                      one or several paths
Note: If required, ATT can be planned
for freight and RP for passenger traffic
as well
                                                                                24
Temporary Capacity Restrictions (TCRs)
TCRs are defined in the latest recast Annex VII of Directive 2012/34/EU
and in the TCR Guidelines issued by RNE:
                                                                               Deadline for final

                                                                                 publication

 High impact TCR               >7                      > 30%                       X-13,5
Medium impact TCR             7  50%                         X-12
 Minor impact TCR             7  10%                         X-4
                                         *) Percentage of estimated traffic volume on a railway line per day
                                              cancelled, rerouted or replaced by other modes of transport

TCRs must become predictable to stabilise all offers!

                                                                                                      25

                                                                                                        26
Provision of Capacity Supply
     To ensure quick and efficient answers to path requests, it must be clear which
     capacity is available. Note: This is not to be confused with the Capacity Model!

Until X-18: Capacity Model:                          Starting X-11: Capacity Supply:
-   Representation of a model time period (e.g.      -   Actual available capacity expressed in
    working day, week)                                   capacity products (paths + bandwidths)
-   Allows pre-planning of capacity, including       -   Enables quick access to capacity and
    harmonisation, detection of pressure                 provides an overview of available capacity
    points/creation of alternatives and                  to the applicants.
    inclusion of all market needs.
                                                                                             27
Request Method ‘Annual Request’

The ‘Annual Request’ option offers the possibility
of an early request and early response.

Benefit: Booking systems can be opened earlier
(aim: 6 months prior to the timetable change).

                                                     28
Request Method ‘Rolling Planning Request’
This method will draw from capacity already assigned in the capacity model and
safeguarded for the specific purpose of short-notice requests.

Benefit: Quick response times provide the flexibility needed to react to
fluctuating market needs as they occur.

                                                                             29
Goals of Rolling Planning Request
Reduce the number of annual ‘phantom’ requests
o Remove obligation to request based on best guesses
o Remove unnecessary (non-existing) conflicts
Provide alternative request method to the annual request
o Designed based on freight RUs’ needs but also available for passenger traffic
o Balance the need for stability (creation of capacity models, reduce request
  period) and flexibility (shift of the path request deadline, quick answers)
o Note: Rolling Planning is not intended as alternative to the ad hoc request
Ensure high quality capacity offers
o Based on dedicated (‘safeguarded’) capacity
o Answers in short period of time
Support applicants in their long-term planning and thus in their investments

Introduction to Big Data

In addition to implementing specific communication standards, a main pillar of
the TTR IT landscape is the use of common data components, using data collected
and maintained in the RNE Big Data system.

                                                                            39
Basic IT Architecture

The future TTR IT landscape is split               TTR IT Landscape
into two main blocks:

Layers of the Central IT Framework

In order to meet all business needs throughout the process, the central TTR IT
Framework is set up in three layers:

Modules of the RU Layer
Capacity Needs Announcements: Using this module, RUs will announce their
capacity needs for the upcoming timetable period in advance to help IMs predict
the traffic volume for accurate capacity modelling.

Train Harmonisation: This module will support information exchange on, and
harmonisation of, train characteristics (load, weight, length, border handling etc.),
train routes and train composition.

Path Request Management: Using the Path Request Management module, RUs will
submit path requests to each IM, using the data harmonised in the Train
Harmonisation module.

                                                                                    43
Modules of the IM Layer
TCR (Temporary Capacity Restrictions): The TCR module collects all available
information on planned TCRs in one dedicated space. This helps IMs to coordinate
at international level and decrease the negative influence of TCRs on train
operation.

Capacity Hub: The Capacity Hub module collects all data from the IMs/ABs and RUs
and provides an overview of available capacity and TCRs in an early stage of
planning.
Capacity Broker: By means of an algorithm, this module checks available capacity
against the IMs’/ABs national systems, and distributes it according to RUs’ requests.
Path Management: The Path Management module ensures that international path
coordination is done in a harmonised format by all involved parties.

                                                                                  44

TTR Legal Framework

                      50
Legal Framework: Introduction
The current legal framework
(European and national laws) reflects
existing capacity management
processes, which do no longer (fully)
meet market needs.

A team of legal experts from RNE
Members, FTE, CER, EIM and CIT*
o Investigated how to support TTR in
  terms of legal framework conditions
o Provides ongoing legal analysis

*DG MOVE joins the task force as observer from May 2020
                                                          51
Basic Considerations for Legal Framework

                               EU legal framework

                                                TTR
                                      Options for implementation*

          Network                            Implementing/         Bilateral
                               FCA                                                   Other Measures
         Statements                          Delegated Acts       Agreements

*Such measures must respect applicable EU law, in particular Directive 2012/34/EU.
                                                                                                      52
Preliminary findings on the Legal Framework
Some shortcomings have been identified, which might result in a high degree of legal
uncertainty if TTR was to be implemented fully under the existing legal framework:

 No common understanding among stakeholders on key questions of interpretation of the
  legal framework, e.g.:
       can provisions of Article 48 of Directive 2012/34/EU serve as a basis to accommodate
        the rolling planning concept (even for TTR full roll-out)?
       can ATT requests be rejected if this is necessary to protect rolling planning capacity?

 Diverging transposition of provisions of Directive 2012/34/EU at national level, e.g.:
       possibility to safeguard capacity exists but is subject to specific national
        requirements (e.g. capacity can only be reserved for specific types of transport)
       possibility for safeguarding of capacity for ad hoc requests (Article 48(2)) not
        transposed into national law

                                                                                           53
Preliminary Conclusions

In some Member States uncertainties about compliance of TTR with the legal
framework lead to serious hesitation to proceed with the implementation of TTR

Adjustments to the legal framework at European level seem required to enable a
harmonised implementation of TTR

                                                                                 54

TTR Commercial Conditions

                            57
TTR Commercial Conditions: Introduction
Rail capacity is wasted, mainly due to
o Constant changes of planning
  parameters (both: RU and IM)                   TTR Process
o Capacity blocked but not used by
  stakeholders
To encourage stakeholders to use the
                                            Commercial           Legal
process and capacity products as            Conditions
                                                         IT
                                                              Framework
efficiently as possible, common,
harmonised commercial conditions have
to be applied to avoid misuse/spoiling of
capacity (‘who breaks pays’).

                                                                   58
Elements of Commercial Conditions
Process elements that require steering through commercial
conditions:
o Path cancellation by applicant
o Non-usage of a path by applicant
                                                             Harmonised
o Cancellation of a partially non-used path by IM
                                                             Commercial
o Path modification by applicant
                                                             Conditions
o Path alteration by IM

Note: A scope extension to requested but not yet allocated
paths is under consideration.

TTR Pilots

             62
Introduction to TTR Pilots

In order to test the new approach to capacity management developed in TTR,
several pilots have been launched:

o To improve the process
o To detect pressure points
o To use lessons learned for full TTR rollout

                                                                             63
List of Pilots
Three pilot lines along Rail Freight Corridors (RFCs) were launched in
2017 to introduce capacity models and test the innovative Rolling
Planning request based on safeguarded capacity:
o Mannheim – Miranda de Ebro (starting in timetable 2021)
o Antwerp – Rotterdam (starting in timetable 2020)
o Munich – Verona (starting in timetable 2020)
To complement the test results, a network pilot will be
conducted on the core network of ÖBB INFRA starting
in timetable 2021.

Further pilots and extensions are currently being considered.

                                                                         64
TTR Pilots: Achievements
o Development of functioning organisations for the respective pilots
o Creation of Capacity Models with the support of applicants for TT 2020
o Elaboration of a first tool for visualising the Capacity Model
  (Electronic Capacity Model Tool / ECMT)
o Availability of a tool (PCS) for placing the first Rolling Planning requests in August
  2019
o Good cooperation thanks to highly motivated IMs
o Broad-based willingness of stakeholders (Ministries, Regulatory Bodies,
  applicants) to participate in the pilots

                                                                                     65
TTR Pilots: Lessons Learned
o Management attention is crucial for the success of the pilots
o Planning and coordination of TCRs respecting 2012/34 Annex VII is still difficult:
  This is crucial to make requests later than annual requests for freight RUs
  possible (also now)
o Benefits for passenger RUs must be tested as well
o Ministries of Transport and Regulatory Bodies are required to implement
  strategic thinking (not only based on existing laws) and allow tests
o Need for increased resources for IT implementation (nat. and internat. level)
o Commercial Conditions required to influence applicants’ path requesting
  behaviour and IMs’ allocation processes (incentive to respect agreed processes)
o Multi-annual validity of a Rolling Planning request require legal backing

                                                                                  66
Status: TTR Pilots
Next steps in 2020
- Lessons learned included in existing pilots
- Mannheim-Miranda de Ebro scheduled to
  become active
- ÖBB Core Network pilot will launch its first
  step

All pre-conditions must be implemented nationally as well. Any delayed start of the
implementation means late rollout of TTR.

The implementation has already started!

                                                                                 72
Implementation Packages: Overview
Aiming for the full rollout of TTR in December 2024, end dates were defined for all

Implementation Packages: Content
Implementation packages were created, in which all required developments are
bundled:
o Implementation packages 1 & 2: division of roles and tasks under the new TTR
  process
o Implementation package 3: preparation of all framework conditions (including
  IT)
o Implementation package 4: commercial conditions and allocation rules
o Implementation package 5: TTR IT landscape
o Implementation package 6: IT micro services for final TTR rollout

Implementation Steps
Short-term
o Setup of national TTR projects and launch of change managements
o Finalising the definition of pre-conditions
o Test and improve TTR elements
o Gradually implement TTR including all preconditions

Mid-term
o Full TTR implementation for timetable 2025 (starting December 2024)
o Monitoring and improving the process

                                                                        78
Successful Implementation of TTR
The market needs TTR – we must start performing now!
• Railways lose market share and interest in investing in railways
  decreases.
• Therefore, TTR is highly anticipated by many European stakeholders.
• The status quo is not an option anymore.
• We cannot wait for others to do our job.
• Even the ambitious timeline of implementing for TT 2025 was
  labelled as too late by the CEOs of freight RUs (‘30 by 2030’).
