CLYMA demand analysis: assignment of road and rail traffic

Main infrastructure problems on the Lyon-Madrid axis

Crossbordering problems for freight traffic 2 track gauges: UIC between Lyon and Barcelona, Iberian between Barcelona and Madrid.

3 voltages: 3kV in Spanish Iberian and mixed gauge, 25 kV in Mollet-TP Ferro and 1,5 kV in France.

3 safety systems: ERTMS in Spanish UIC tracks, ASFA in Spanish conventional and KVB in France.

3 infrastructure administrators (RFF, ADIF & TP Ferro). New infrastructure limitations (through Le Perthus): train length limited to 500 m ,gradient >

18‰, toll, traction costs extremely high, lack of electrical power,… No available rail terminals. Slot management But now the main problem is the lack of traction (locomotives and drivers).

Rail for long distances

Terminal to terminal service offer

New infrastructure

Rail for any distance

Door to door integral services

New services

Cost, transit time, quality Plus agility, resilience, frequency,…

Rail operators Intermodal logistic operators

Big state operators (all-in-one)

Big and small operators, niche markets, specialisation

Rail paradigm change

Six critical aspects

Demand driven management models

Possible technological obsolescence

HS and freight compatibility

Protectionism and barriers: interoperability & homologation

Market oriented infrastructure

Intermodal transport instead of rail transport: modal integration
