Freight / Rail-Road - UIC
Freight / Rail-RoadMega-trucks versus rail freight European rail sector highlights the effects of theintroduction of mega-trucks in EuropeThe introduction of 25-m or 60-t trucks on Europe’s roads would leadto more traffic on the road and not reduce it. The European rail transport associations UIC, CER, EIM, UIRR, UNIFE and ERFA are publishing a brochure explaining why the argument of the mega-truck lobbyis misleading politicians.According to the supporters of mega-trucks, these vehicles wouldincrease road transport capacity, and at the same time reduce congestion and emissions. In reality, however, the resulting reduction of costswould have the reverse effect. With road transport becoming even lessexpensive, new transport demand would be generated. The phenomenon of “mobile warehousing” on Europe’s roads would increase.Another effect would be a modal “re-shift” of transport from rail toroad. The new brochure lists the different studies which were undertaken in this respect. A significant conclusion of these studies is thatcombined traffic would be at risk – after huge efforts by all stakeholders in recent years to set up an attractive offer in this efficient and environmental friendly transport segment. Rail-based combined transport is currently enjoying significant growth annually averaging 6.8% inEurope.A study by EWS Railways indicates that also bulk transport would be affected by megatrucks.The EU’s target to cut emissions by 20% by 2020 - which ismainly a challenge to cut emissions in the transport sector– cannot be realised with an increase in transport onEurope’s roads. Transporting goods by rail creates only20% of the CO2 emissions generated by road transport.Allowing mega-trucks raises also a financing problem because of thenecessary road infrastructure enhancements. There is agreement that existingroads, bridges, access lanes, parking areas etc. will have to be modified and newroads to be constructed. In the debate on mega-trucks, however, so far there is no idea on howto finance these significant investments, nor what the effect on necessary rail infrastructure investmentswould be.The rail sector’s concern is an overall increase of external costs by the introduction of mega-trucks - i.e.more CO2 emissions, more congestion, more accidents - while those costs are still not borne by the user,but by society as a whole. The competitive situation of rail transport would improve significantly were allmodes of transport to pay for the external costs they create, instead of leaving the bill with the taxpayer.1
The European Commission will shortly launch a study on the effects of a possible Europewide circulationof mega-trucks, which are so far only allowed in Sweden and Finland. In Germany, the Ministers ofTransport of the Federal States will decide on 10 October 2007 whether to allow mega-trucks in Germanyor not.The publication is available as a pdf document on the associations’ websites.

The UIC was represented by Oliver Sellnick and Sandra Géhénot.Against the background of the European Commission communication on the subject expected inOctober, customer associations* were invited by CER to discuss the railway community'sapproach at defining a rail network that is better equipped to handle rail freight, that will improvequality and that will improve rail productivity.The concept developped by the railway community, which will be translated into a posiiton paperfor the attention of the EU Commission, is backed by 6 detailed corridor studies.The studies have been carried out by McKinsey with the input of UIC studies: ERIM, TheCapacity Reserve Study and DIOMIS.The meeting was very positive and all participants approved the railways' approach althoughthere were already some indications from the customers that the railway vision was pragmaticrather than ambitious in terms of its infrastructure expectations.* Associations present:French Shippers Council, Erfa, UIP, FL&LForum, UIRR, EIA, Unife, Eurofer, Cumerio, ERFCP,Fermed, Clecat, ECG, JBS.For more information please contact Sandra Géhénot, UIC Senior Advisor for freight: gehenot@uic.asso.frEnvironment / NoiseRailway noise abatement: rail sector welcomesCommission initiative.No legal requirements necessary, but financial schemesfor retro-fittingThe European rail sector welcomes the fact that the EuropeanCommission is taking up the topic of retrofitting existing rail freightwagons in order to reduce noise emission. In their joint contributionto a Commission consultation which closed on 31 July, the rail transport associations CER, EIM, ERFA, UIC, UIP and UIRR requestedthat noise abatement measures must not jeopardise the sector’s2
competitiveness and the railways’ role in a sustainable transport system.While the railways order all new vehicles with “silent” composite brake blocks, the challenge is toretro-fit the existing fleet of freight wagons. Today, about 600 000 freight wagons are in operationin Europe. The cost of retro-fitting a vehicle with composite brake blocks amounts to 4500 perwagon.At the same time, according to a recent CER / UIC study, EU Member States are expected toinvest a total of 10 billion in passive noise abatement measures such as noise screens and building insulation. However, various studies demonstrated that allocating funds to rail freight wagonretro-fitting with composite brake blocks would be much more cost-efficient than investing intopassive noise abatement measures.Therefore the rail freight sector asks the Commission to provide financial schemes to allow publicinvestments in rolling-stock retro-fitting and thus help Member States saving money.The stakeholders reject any legally binding measures which would create a new financial burdenfor the industry leading to increased costs.To obtain a copy of the brochure, please contact: communication@uic.asso.frInformation TechnologyUIC spotlights Railway Information TechnologyFall 2007This fall, the UIC eBusiness Centre of Competence will be addressing how information technology and smart application systems can help UIC members successfully implement their corebusiness strategies.Information technology has risen from being viewed as a cost centre to a veritable strategic assetfor improving the effectiveness of the international transport chain.IT plays a major role in the success for developing Rail as the preferred mode of transport forpassengers and goods. The development of newapplication systems and system integration between Infrastructure Managers and OperatingCompanies will allow greater service reliability,reductions in transit times and an increase inasset productivity. These strategic goals are driving significant investments in new internationalapplications throughout the European Railwaysector.3
About the UIC eBusiness Competence CentreeBusiness is any business process powered by an IT application.In the world of growing competition, Information Technology and standardised data exchangeplays an increasingly important role in meeting the expectations for interoperability for our members. It is for this reason that a competent and neutral body has been put into place to developindustry IT standards to serve all sectors of our industry.The UIC eBusiness Centre of Competence serves to elaborate technical and process requirements and provides a strategic resource for our members in a harmonised manner by: Offering consistent, expert IT consulting and project management services across allUIC activities and domains; Harmonising data exchange standards across all domains; Providing technical competence in modelling, message and standards development; Disseminating information on Railway IT Best Practices and facilitate the Exchange ofExperience, Representation of UIC within other Standards Organisations (UN, ISO, CEN, OSJD, etc).By offering these services, the UIC eBusiness Competence Centre provides an invaluable tool toits members and the global railway community.Below are highlights UIC Information Technology Activities offered by the UIC eBusiness Centreof Competence:11th annual UIC eBusiness Conference: (UIC-Paris, 11-12 October)Entitled ‘Best Practices in Railway Business Applications,’ this year’s conference will highlightinnovative and practical eBusiness solutions that Railways may apply to achieve better performance. Professionals will learn about the future impact of regional and international standards,interoperability requirements, technology toolsets and industry IT trends.This two-day conference, held at the UIC Headquarters in Paris is of interest to all railway business and IT professionals, RU, IM and industry executives whose primary functions involve business development, project management and Information Technology. There were 111 participants in 2006, equally representing passenger, freight and infrastructure from 48 companiescoming from 25 countries, worldwide.For further information about participating as conferee or sponsor, please visit the website:http://www.uic.asso.fr/it/rubrique.php3?id rubrique 19or contact Maria Lafont: lafont@uic.asso.frTAF-TSI Steering Board Meeting: (Brussels, 5 September)The Technical Specification for Interoperability, Telematic Applications for Freight (TAF-TSI)Regulation entered into force in January 2006. The TAF-TSI is, quite simply, a common dataexchange layer for participants in the Rail Freight transportation chain. In the long term, postimplementation objectives of the TAF-TSI will have the potential for dramatic improvements intransit time reliability, asset utilisation and optimisation and service reliability.4
Additionally, the implementation of the TAF-TSI can reap financial rewards. ‘An increase of 1%market share of surface transportation represents revenue equal to 1 billion euros,’ says JanSundling, retired DG of Green Cargo and currently serving as Chairman of the TAF-TSI SteeringBoard. The economic incentives are there implement the regulation.The Steering Board will meet in Brussels to finalise funding and implementation and funding scenarios for the initial realisation. It is proposed that a common tender be made for the development of a common interface allowing the required connectivity required to exchange data.The final recommendation and budget will be forwarded to the European ManagementCommittee for decision. It is expected to have the common interface ready for rollout by early2009.The TAF-TSI implementation is being facilitated by the UIC eBusiness Centre of Competence.For more information please contact John Lutz, UIC Senior Advisor eBusiness: lutz@uic.asso.frTechnology and ResearchUIC Technology and Research Platform:Meeting of the UIC Study Group for Freight Technology (SG2) (Paris, 27 June)UIC Study Group for Freight Technology (SG2), chaired by Stefano Guidi of Trenitalia, held itslatest meeting on 27 June at UIC Headquarters in Paris.The group heard progress reports on current project work, held discussions and assessed thefinal results of projects, approving the corresponding documents (reports, leaflets, etc.). The following items and projects were covered more specifically: The project on coupler bars without buffers for permanently-coupled wagon units seeksto define assessment criteria based on Longitudinal Compression Forces (LCF) for thesafe operation of this kind of coupler, so that wagon units coupled together in this waycan be exempted from propelling tests.Studies have shown a very good correlation between tests and simulations, includingwhen the vehicles are negotiating curves.For bogie wagons, it was noted that:- the coupler bars and the position of the articulation are compliant withUIC Leaflet 572,- each wagon meets the criteria for exemption from propelling tests (t 16t; t 1t/m)and their coupling characteristics are compliant with Appendices E2 or E3 of UICLeaflet 530-2.And for two-axle wagons, it was noted that:- the coupler bars and the position of the articulation are compliant withUIC Leaflet 572.- each wagon meets the criteria for exemption from propelling tests set out inAppendix F of UIC Leaflet 530-2.5
For wagons with steering axles, the same safety standard is met in S-curves of radius150 m. For plain curves, further work is needed to demonstrate equivalent safety to thatoffered by diagonal buffers. A progress report on the new TRAINDY project was also given. This project aims to develop asystem to calculate longitudinal dynamics in trains, as a replacement for the obsolete E-TRAINprogram.The first of the three stages in the development process is the installation of the pneumaticmodule. This has now been done and is to be verified in July 2007, following which the softwarewill be released for use by the project manager. The second stage, the installation of the dynamic module used to capture the buffers, draw hook, suspension springs, etc., will begin at theend of July. The necessary input data and potential improvements to individual functions will alsobe integrated into the program. The last stage will involve verification of the overall TRAINDY system taking into account the various pneumatic and dynamic components to be modelled, so thata UIC-endorsed version of the TRAINDY program can be made available in the second quarterof 2008. Preparations are under way to set up an open consortium for the use of the program.It is intended to present the project at the WCRR in Seoul in May 2008. As part of the project to review of the suitability of the Y/Q 0.8 limit value for empty wagons,the study group was given an update on the running tests being carried out on the SNCF andDB networks. The associations UNIFE, UIP, UIRR and AAE also feature among the project partners. The results show that the performance of new articulated wagons is no worse than thatof existing vehicles and so they can be approved to run, subject to certain technical preconditions. The study group was informed of a letter from the EBA telling of work commissioned bythe German authorities on the wheel flange angle, the results of which would be passed on toUIC. The UIC group of experts will use these results to formulate a proposed amendment forthe inclusion of articulated wagons in UIC Leaflet 432. Further work by the group of experts isstill required to amend or set a new limit criterion for safety against derailment that can also beused in the TSI. Another new project is looking at the stresses exerted on buffers, buffer fastenings, buffermountings and front parts of coaches and wagons. Here, an application document has beenproduced to assist with the use of the load spectra set out in report B12/RP71. Work is nowcompleted and the results are documented in report B12/RP74. Proposed amendments to UICLeaflets 526-1 and 526-3 and to DT 135 have also been drafted and approved by the studygroup. Using report B12/RP74 and the resulting adaptations to the regulations, the strength ofthe wagon headstock area can be optimised right from the vehicle development phase and suitable design solutions developed and tested. Report B12/RP74, which also contains the application document as an appendix, was approved at the meeting. As part of investigations to reduce the life cycle costs of SS wagons and cut procurement andmaintenance costs, it has been established that it is possible to do without an SS brake undercertain conditions. Consequently, a proposal will be put to the Freight Forum to use the **/***setting described in UIC Leaflet 432 (vmax 120 km/h with an axle-load of 22.5 tonnes insteadof 20 t) for SS braking and to do without the SS brake as such. A progress report was given on work to draft a new UIC Leaflet 592 entitled "Intermodal loadunits for vertical transhipment, except semi-trailers, for conveyance on wagons – Minimumrequirements". The aim of this new leaflet is to produce a single document covering all load6
units, combining existing standards (ISO and CEN), setting minimum requirements for railways,to permit the construction of specific load units and provide the basis for an approval processfor prototypes and series. A first draft of the contents page, along with the first chapters of thedocument (1 – Introduction, 2 – Inventory of Intermodal Loading Units, and others), can beconsulted on the UIC Extranet at http://extranet.uic.asso.fr/. The complete draft of the newLeaflet 592 will be submitted in January 2008. UIC Leaflet 530-2 sets out the conditions to be met by wagons from the standpoint of runningsafety. By specifying technical features for existing or new wagons, it is designed to ensure thatthe necessary safety standard for the operational deployment of the wagons will be achieved. The running safety of two-axle wagons, as well as a number of technical features, can be verified using diagrams developed specifically for this purpose. Technical conditions are also laiddown for certain types of bogie wagons. Vehicles that comply with these conditions earn dispensation from the propelling tests used to demonstrate acceptable levels of longitudinal compression forces. For other wagons, propelling tests are usually necessary to demonstrate running safety.The provisions of UIC Leaflet 530-2, looking at running safety from the point of view of longitudinal compression forces, are to be transposed into a CEN standard. A group of experts in CENTC 256 WG 10 has developed a method for obtaining dispensation from propelling tests.Exceptional approvals of the kind described in Appendices E2 and E3 of UIC Leaflet 530-1 cannot be transferred to the EN 14363. In future it will be the task of Notified Bodies to decide whether referencing to identical wagons that have been through the propelling tests is a possibleoption or whether the tests must be carried out anew. For this reason, it is proposed to includecertain vehicle characteristics in the EN in diagrammatic form, to determine the dispensationfrom propelling tests. The list of combined transport operators in UIC Leaflet 596 (Conveyance of road vehicles onwagons – Technical organisation – Conditions for coding combined transport load units andcombined transport lines) was updated. Because of new developments in wagon technology, the technical regulations of UIC (UICLeaflet 577 and report B12/RP17) and CEN need to be updated. A group of experts has therefore been tasked to draw up a list of open points in the UIC regulations (and thus also theCEN) and set priorities in accordance with the respective criteria. The basis for this is a feasibility study prepared by former ERRI SC B12 in 2003. The resulting list will be examined by aUIC body in January 2008 and a decision taken on what action is required.7
Another topic addressed was the use of non EC-certified interoperability constituents (ICs) inEC-certified wagons. Under the Conventional Rail Rolling Stock TSI, EC-certified wagons mayonly be fitted out with EC-certified ICs. Stocks of spares may however include ICs that have notbeen retroactively certified and no transition period has been specified for the continued use ofexisting components, as was the case for the High Speed TSI. This means enormously highcosts for the maintenance of EC-certified wagons as a result of duplicated storage and costlylogistics.The problem demands a European solution, above all for the definition of a suitable transitionperiod. It was decided to address the topic at the appropriate national level and ensure that thecorresponding national bodies raise the matter at the Article 21 Committee. Since the year 2000 an increasing number of axle breakages have been occurring amongEuropean railway operators, involving standard UIC axles used without restriction on theEuropean network. There is no systematic UIC process in place for collecting feedback fromthese incidents. Action is required as a matter of urgency to avoid similar incidents with UICstandard axles, large numbers of which are in use in the UIC zone. A project involving the definition of an error tolerance concept has therefore been proposed, to specify permissible surface characteristics of axle defects in service and during maintenance. The specification of anti-crash elements in UIC Leaflet 573 and the clarification to allow A buffers to be fitted to tank wagons for dangerous goods instead of C buffers was a subject alreadydiscussed in 2006. The issue has been further addressed at the level of CEN and it can nowbe assumed that when EN 15551 is published in the autumn of this year, the requirements itcontains for buffers will be very close to those of UIC Leaflet 573. The amendment to the leaflet has been put on hold until the objections raised by the Eisenbahnbundesamt (EBA) are clarified. Meanwhile, the matter will be further addressed at CEN level. The RID will make reference to UIC Leaflet 573 with effect from January 2009.For further information, please contact Isabelle Fonverne: fonverne@uic.asso.fr orHans-Jügern Geissler: geissler@uic.asso.frUIC MembershipSlovenian Railways celebrate 150th anniversary of the Southern RailwaySlovenian Railways (SZ) celebrated on Friday 27th July the 150thanniversary of the SouthernRailway (Südbahn) completed atthe time of the Austro-Hungarianempire to connect Vienna withTrieste.
