ConsultingTransport & Logistics
Headquartered in Hannover, Germany, HaCon
creates and develops high-quality software solu-
tions for traffic, transport and logistics.
With more than 30 years of experience and a
dedicated team of IT and transport planning
specialists, HaCon has established itself as a
leading player for planning, scheduling and
information solutions. The timetable informati-
on system HAFAS and the train planning system
TPS are used all over Europe.
Furthermore, HaCon consults and assists its
customers with projects in rail freight trans-
port and combined transport in particular. An
interdisciplinary consulting team of transport
engineers, geographers, lawyers and IT spe-
cialists puts great emphasis on an approach
that is both integrated and results-oriented.
HaCon has many years of project management
experience for the European Commission (e.g.
CREAM, TIGER, SPIDER PLUS, ViWaS) and
other project sponsors.
The service portfolio includes the requisition
and negotiation of subsidies, the completion of
financial and administrative formalities and the
overall coordination of all parties involved such
as railway companies, shipping agents, institu-
tions and associations.
To HaCon, a regular exchange and close part-
nerships with other companies and institutions
of the logistics industry are just as important as
active memberships. Amongst others, HaCon is
engaged in the German Transport Forum (DVF),
the Association of the European Rail Industry
(UNIFE), the Research Association for Intermodal
Transport (SGKV) as well as the NEWOPERA
research association through which HaCon is
directly involved in the work of ERRAC, the
European Rail Research Advisory Council.
HaCon is also founding member of the Euro-
pean Shift²Rail initiative and thus significantly
involved in the conception of the corresponding
innovation programs.

The transportation industry, in the passenger as
well as in the freight sector, will have to meet
plenty of challenges throughout the decades
ahead. The demands on transport systems
are rising with the increasing level of traffic.
According to the 2011 EU White Paper, a large
part of transport shall be shifted from road
to rail until 2050. Within the framework of
SPIDER PLUS, 13 partners from economy and
research work towards a common vision and
a corresponding roadmap for a competitive
and sustainable rail transport. Topics like digital
networking, more efficient transport means
and the ideal use of infrastructure are central
elements of the visionary project.

Over the last years, high production costs and
low quality standards resulted in a declining
market share of single wagon and wagon
group transport in Europe. However, com-
mercial sectors such as the chemicals or steel
industries still have a demand for rail transport
capacities below block train segments. This is
where ViWaS comes in: By means of organi-
zational and technical solutions, efficiency and
quality standards of single wagonload transport
shall be improved in the long run. The project
focuses on selected aspects, such as increasing
efficiency for servicing the “last mile” as well
as developments in freight wagon technologies
and intelligent telematics systems.

According to market studies, multimodal
transport in Southeast Europe will be increasing
significantly. Despite the progress in the multi-
modal transport sector and massive infrastruc-
ture investments, the market potentials are far
from being tapped. Against this background,
the COSMOS project was launched to foster a
transnational and cross-company exchange of
knowledge. The results are country-specific road-
maps that give impulses for the development of
multimodal transport. All potential stakeholders
were involved in creating these guidelines – from
infrastructure operators to transport companies
up to ministries of transport.
COSMOS: Using Potentials, Strengthening Multimodal Transport
The requirements for rail freight transport are
changing. Compared to decreasing volumes
in single wagonload transport, block train and
combined transports (CT) are increasing. These
changes also affect the CFL Cargo in Luxem-
bourg and the requirements of local steelworks.
In a multistage process, HaCon developed mea-
sures and recommendations in order to increase
the efficiency of the two shunting yards,
Bettembourg and Hagondange. Additionally,
we created an operating concept for the new
CT terminal in Bettembourg and helped to
adapt the single wagonload transport of CFL
Cargo to meet the changed requirements.

Efficient and well-networked infrastructures are
an essential factor for competitiveness, growth,
employment and wealth in the European Union.
With the new TEN-T guidelines that came into
force in December 2013, the EU accelerates
the expansion of the Trans-European Networks
(TEN-T). These consist of a core network and a
comprehensive network that are supposed to
be completed by 2030 and 2050, respectively.
In order to organize the future development of
the core network’s nine multimodal transport
corridors, work plans are being created within
the framework of surveys. HaCon is involved
as a key partner in the research of three TEN-T
corridors and advises the EU coordinators regar-
ding the creation of these work plans.
Multimodal Networking for a Strong Europe
Needs-oriented, cross-border routes and infra-
structure expansion are essential factors for an
efficient and competitive rail transport. Especially
for international corridors, forecasts on the mar-
ket development are important for an evaluation
of future traffic density. The transport market
study of the Rail Freight Corridor Rotterdam -
Genoa addressed the busiest transport corri-
dor in Europe and its development during the
following years. Based on market surveys and
forecasts, the exact route requirements were de-
fined. The goal was to improve both the service
quality and the general production conditions in
cross-border rail freight transport.

From 1998 until 2011, the Federal Government
of Germany supported the construction and
extension of terminals for combined transport
(CT). After being involved significantly in creating
and evaluating the expiring guidelines, HaCon’s
consultants were commissioned with the evalua-
tion and organization of the succeeding funding
program. Within the framework of the report,
HaCon examined the efficiency and effectivity of
the expiring CT funding guidelines with regard to
economical, ecological and fiscal aspects. In or-
der to guarantee effective funding of combined
transport, HaCon provided recommendations for
political actions, e.g. concerning a differentiation
of the funding according to the type of termi-
nal, a stronger market orientation as well as an
adjustment of the maximum funding rate.
The German Federal Railway Authority’s decisi-
ons on granting federal funds are made accor-
ding to the private siding funding guidelines.
In 2011, the Federal Ministry of Transport,
Building and Urban Affairs (BMVBS) commis-
sioned HaCon to evaluate these guidelines
that were effective until 2012. The aim was to
analyze the impact of funding regarding initi-
alized relocation effects and economic aspects
(e.g. environment, employment). The new,
modified private siding funding guidelines,
effective until 2016, were accepted by the EU
and officially implemented as “Guidelines on
funding for the construction, extension and
reactivation of private railway sidings.”
