Railways are undergoing major industry changes with management and business planning at the forefront that encompasses operational, customer and intermodal competition issues with innovative technologies removing earlier barriers. The presentation highlights trends in engineering, operations, stations design, passengers’ expectations and ticketing & collection while touching on issues like network capacity, demand forecasting & fare policies.
Peter Koning - Director Transportation Planning, Faber Maunsell/AECOM, UK
Since their inception, the railways have served the economies of Europe in numerous guises. They
have contributed to the prosperity we see today and they fulfill a vital role in the efficient
transportation of freight and passengers. Rail, as a mode of transport is perceived as offering real
solutions to the challenges posed by the increasing demand for transport and the need to urgently
address the impact on global warming caused by transport.
Despite the inherent natural advantages of the rail, the car and lorry continue to dominate the transport
market as the mode of choice in the short to medium distance journey sector. To maintain its position
within the economies of Europe, the rail mode has had to evolve ensuring that it remains capable of
meeting the changing needs of its users. Changing market requirements, the need for higher standards
of quality and the emergence of new technologies have made railway reform complex and difficult.
The need for high capital investment has prevented the railways from undertaking rapid reform but
experience demonstrates that real change has to take place within this critical industry.
The presentation will argue Bulgaria has a huge opportunity with its railway network to capitalise on
its current and emerging market opportunities and utilize the experiences of its fellow member states
in Europe. By applying successfully employed within Europe, Bulgaria can avoid making many of the
errors which have effected other railway administrations. Bulgaria has embarked on a radical and far
sighted programme to revitalise its railways. The continued success of these and future reforms
depends in part on adopting structural reforms to the businesses which will allow innovation and
entrepreneurship to flourish and customer aspirations to be met.

Transforming Railway Infrastructure in Ghana through Public Private Partnersh...jhmensah
The Ghana railway infrastructure is obsolete and dilapidated. There is the need to redevelop and advance railway infrastructure to service the demand for goods and passenger transport, which when done will encourage export, facilitate trade, generate productivity and ensure economic growth and development. Government however lacks the planning, management, maintenance, investment capacity required to do so. There is a business case, there are political champions and some stakeholder interest and support. As a solution therefore, the Government of Ghana can initiate, prepare, procure and implement PPP to engage the private sector to redevelop and advance the railway infrastructure in Ghana.
Rail Technical Strategy, Key Capability 6 - More Space on TrainsJames Brown
Overview of Key capability 6 of the UK's Rail Technical Strategy - More Space on Trains.
Presents an overview of the key projects being commissioned as part of this R&D program aiming to boost rail capacity in the UK by maximising the size of vehicles running on the network and optimising the use of the space available.
Presented by Eric Ziering, Director of Software, Cambridge Systematics, Inc.
Google Transit and the widespread adoption of the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) has had a huge impact on the availability of Transit routing and scheduling services and information,
both from Google and third parties such as HopStop.com. The effect has been to provide
the public with high-quality information services (well beyond what was imaginable a decade
ago) while lowering the cost to transit agencies. In his presentation, Mr. Ziering will tie together a
number of transit-related information systems projects that are now in progress or have recently
been completed by Cambridge Systematics that illustrate this theme of cost-effectiveness through
the innovative use of information technology. Together, these projects showcase the potential to
maximize the effectiveness of existing transit agency resources through innovative use of information systems.

There are a lot of methods of transportation available today, and we understand you’re challenged to make travel by rail as reliable, efficient, safe, comfortable and cost-effective as possible. Driven by regulations and increased globalization, you must find ways to reduce downtime, increase productivity and enhance safety and security for future sustainability.
LogiQuest Season 2 - Challenges and opportunities in multi modal logistics in...Mahindra Logistics
At this juncture, we need a robust logistics and transportation management, thus multimodal logistics channel. The second runner-up team, Team Alpha & Omega, did an extensive research and presented the challenges and opportunities we have. They also featured countries who have them and what we can learn from them.
The green revolution sweeping the commercial vehicle market is creating new revenue streams for truck industry participants- see how you can benefit from it.
The Middle East has allocated nearly $250bn to various railway projects over the next 10 years with ambitious plan to build around 67,000km of railway tracks throughout the region. The region has the opportunity to build the world’s most advanced passenger and freight transport systems. The presentation touches on all aspects of railway development and strategies in the region including different Public private Partnership (PPP) models and financing / funding advice to better develop rail projects as a sustainable means of transport.

Implications for masterplan/demand assessment Approach to be followed Identify rail services that have a role in transport system – can recoup their costs For other services initiate development of exit strategies
Very preliminary simple approach Key aspects Investment in rail has very long life and can not be moved Institutional transformation Potential and performance is impacted by government investment and pricing policies competition of other modes Essential for Government to get it right – policies & infrastr investment
Focus of market assessment 4 main lines of business General approach to be followed Identify services that cover costs and can play a role in transport system Focus for transport tasks that do not cover costs exit strategies how to serve transport needs at lower cost
Executive yields 307 distance 434 Business yields 188 distance 389 Economy yields 64 distance 414 Local yields 41 distance 62
If siding to siding transport, rail is only lower cost at 5 million tonnes If pick up and delivery cost, road remains lower cost even at 5 million tonnes
Sector policies Price regulation Subsidies for economy passengers Indirectly capacity limitations on economy Market entry Infrastructure charging Relationship between government and railway company Policies on grounds of external costs of transport European studies suggest upper limit for increase in cost ~ 25 % Impact of policies on modal shares Need for level playing field Important question. Will policies change in future
Objective of market assessment Java passenger & freight services basis for investment in infrastructure by Govt/infrastructure operator At level of individual facility At level of corridor At level of subsystem or total system Basis for investment in rolling stock and planning of operations by PTKA/train operator Basis for coordination between infrastructure operator and train operator
Context Railway is essentially a mining railway For historical reasons vertically separated Traffic (million tonnes/km): 1991: 1,873; 2008: 3,800 In principle easier than Java passenger & freight In practice appears to be not so simple – transaction costs 3 parties
