Scope of the Baltic Adriatic Core Network Corridor Study and Work Plan

Support the coordinated development of the corridor focusing on the key priorities set by Regulation EU 1315/2013

Study target:

― To provide to the European Commission, the European Coordinator and the Corridor Forum with a technical basis for the definition of the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor (BA Corridor) work plan

Work plan objective:

― To provide the basis for a coordinated development of the corridor by all stakeholders, focusing on the key priorities from the European perspective, including:

• Bridging missing links and removing existing bottlenecks (especially cross-border)

• Developing interconnections and promote multimodality (particularly at ports)

• Supporting the implementation of ITS/ICT initiatives for interoperability – (especially ERTMS)

• Stimulating, accompanying and supporting measures for the coordinated and effective development of the BA Corridor

Analysis of capacity

Identification of the critical issues

8

The critical issues identified in our study are in line with the ones already described in previous studies for the development of the BA Corridor, including BATCo, SoNorA and AB Landbridge, and with the list of pre-identified projects included in Annex 1 to Reg. EU 1316/2013

Assessment matrix

Identification of critical issues

9

Most of the 4,200 km BA Corridor railway infrastructure is double track (85%)

Single track sections (15%) ― Zywiec-Zwardon-Cadca (PL-SK cross-border); ― Prerov-Holubice (CZ); ― Devinska Nova Ves-Marchegg-Wien Stadlau (SK-

AT cross-border); ― Werndorf-Sentilj-Maribor (AT-SI cross-border

section); ― Wien Inzersdorf- Wampersdorf (AT) ― Palmanova and Cervignano on the Udine-

Cervignano (IT); ― Divaca-Koper (SI); Freight: ― Wroclaw Brochow- Jelcz Miloszyce (PL); ― Parndorf-Petrzalka (AT) (AT-SK Cross-border) ― Gramatneusiedl-Wampersdorf (AT); ― Kledering-Wien Freudenau Hafen (AT); ― Castel Bolognese-Ravenna (IT); ― Faenza-Ravenna (IT)

Missing links: Koralmbahn line and Semmering Base Tunnel

Railway Lines

BA Corridor railway links

10

BA Corridor railway links

Power system: the railway infrastructure is almost entirely electrified (exceptions in Slovakia and Austria)

Compliance to regulation

Axle load (22.5 t): 11% not compliant (Poland and Slovenia)

Line speed for freight (100 km/h): 31% not compliant (Poland and Slovenia)

Maximum train length (740 m): 84% of the corridor is non compliant

ERTMS:

― is not currently in use on the network

11

Current rail flows are below the critical level - set in our analysis at 150 trains/day/track for a double track line – rail capacity is not a generalized short term issue for the corridor.

Possible capacity issues in the future:

― Urban nodes:

•Warsaw and Katovice

•Wien

•Ljubljana

― Sections:

•Ostrava-Prerov (CZ)

•Werndorf and Wiener Neustadt AT)

Intensity of rail transport (2014, trains/day/track)

Analysis of capacity issues of the railway corridor infrastructure

12

BA Corridor road links

Compliance to regulation

Most of the 3,600 km long BA Corridor road network

already has 4 or 6 lanes per direction (over 80%)

Road type (expressway or motorways): 19% of the road corridor infrastructure is constituted by ordinary roads

EETC is not in yet implemented on the Corridor

13

Capacity is not a general issue for the corridor. The only section currently above the identified critical level (20,000 veh/day) is within the urban area in Bratislava, where projects for a new external by-pass are being developed – although not included in our corridor alignment

The available infrastructure capacity following completion of the work plan will be generally adequate to accommodate growth in road transport volumes. Exceptions to this situation may occur within or in the approaches to major urban nodes, in particular in Warsawa, Brno and Bologna.

Issues in Warsawa and Bologna seems more limited and might be solved by modal shift measures, while the capacity issues in Brno might call also for capacity improvements in the mid or long term

Characteristics and performance of national railways

Poland: completion of modernisation works is required on central and western alignment regarding line speed, train length and axle load

Czech Republic: capacity and speed bottlenecks exist in the Ostrava, Brno and Břeclav junctions. The section Přerov – Brno faces bottlenecks with regard to capacity, speed, train length and axle load

Slovakia: speed bottlenecks at Žilina (60 km/h) and Bratislava (40 km/h) junctions

Austria: Alpine Crossings (Semmering and Koralm) are at the construction stage as well as the new main railway station in Vienna (2014-2015). The line Wien Inzersdorf – Wampersdorf is planned to be doubled by 2023

Italy: critical issues exist on the lines Venice – Trieste (level crossings and Bivio S. Polo) and Udine – Cervignano (to be doubled) and at the Mestre and Udine nodes

Slovenia: major deficiencies exist compared to the requirements of the TEN-T standards. The upgrading of the line Divača – Koper is under implementation

26

The two Alpine Crossing (missing links) are expected to be completed by 2023/2024, for a total investment cost of about 8.5 € billion

Modernisation of railway lines:

― Significant investments are already on-going in Poland regarding the modernisation of their network

― By 2020 completion of the modernisation of the Polish and Slovak rail network (8.6 € billion)

― 2020 - 2030 completion of the modernisation of the Slovenian sections and development of higher quality lines particularly for passengers in CZ, AT and IT (8.1 € billion)

Network modernisation almost completed by 2030

Improving standards and performance of the railway network

27

Modernisation of the road network in Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia is planned to be completed by 2020 (9.2 € billion)

Other improvements works are planned between 2020 and 2030 to solve capacity and environmental related issues predominantly at nodes (3.9 € billion)

Network modernisation almost completed by 2020

Improving standards and performance of the highway network

28

The current rail modal share is around 13% for passengers (measured in pax*km)

Without any significant investment, rail share is expected to be stable for passengers (13%)

The work plan investments have a positive, although limited, effect in counterbalancing this trend, with rail demand overcoming the current market shares (15% for passengers), segments;

The results of the last scenario (2030RP) show that additional policy and administrative measures could contribute to a great extent in the promotion of rail transport, with market shares rising to 23% of interregional demand for passenger

Performance and modal share of the BA transport modes (millions of pax*km/year)

Passenger transport market: key performance indicators

29

Performance and modal share of the BA transport modes (millions of tons*km/year)

Freight transport market: key performance indicators

The current rail modal share is around 19% for freight (in tons*km); the rail modal share is significantly higher for long distance freight transport (39%); it is worth noting in this respect that the corridor already satisfy the 2030 freight modal share target of the 2011 White Paper (30% rail share on transport longer that 300 km);

In the do-nothing scenario, rail freight share is expected to slightly decline (18%)

In the do-something scenarios rail market share for freight grows up to 21% in the work plan scenario and 24% in the rail policy scenario (43% for long distance transport).

30

We developed an indicative and partial quantification of the main benefits associated to the 2030WP and 2030RP scenarios(do-something) in comparison with the 2030T (do-nothing), applying monetary conversion factors to the passengers’ travel time savings and air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions for the inter-regional TEN-T road and rail flows.

Benefits of the do-something scenarios (millions of 2010 €/year)

Socio-economic benefits

A comprehensive and detailed assessment of the benefits associated with the implementation of the work plan investments is out of the scope of this study, it is worth noting that the benefits generated for the inter-regional demand alone are in any case significant in both scenarios, with a total value of around 400 million € /year (2010 prices) in the Work Plan scenario, increasing up to over 600 million if additional policies to increase the competitiveness and efficiency of the rail transport system are implemented
