Objectives…LCC calculations and evaluation

LCC calculations by SP1 (M24) and SP2 (M36) to support research in laboratory situation Comparison of a two prognoses: A state-of-the-art-solution compared to an Urban Track-developed new solution for a hypothetic site (based on assumptions)

LCC calculations by SP3: Evaluation of expected results „Post-Installation" based on individual maintenance regime and cost structure of the operator (M48).

Comparison of one prognosis to one analysis: "pre-installation" LCC-prognosis (M36)compared to an updated calculation of the same case considering lessons learned fromreality (measurements, improvements, feedbacks) for the specific building site (based on real investment and costs)

LCC calculations by SP3: Prognosis of expected results „Pre-Installation" based on individual maintenance regime and cost structure of the operator (M36).

Comparison of two prognoses: A state-of-the-art-solution in comparison to an Urban Track-developed new solution for the specific building site (based on assumptions)

Background…Goals…

Background> No harmonised LCC calculation methodology for Urban rail infrastructure was

available

Goals> Development of LCC calculation methodology> Create a common understanding with all involved stakeholders

(e.g. infrastructure operators, supplying industry, researchers)> foster acceptance of the methodology and > Support a beginning harmonisation process

> Development of software tool for LCC calculations

> Evaluation of LCC within the Urban Track project

Beyond Urban Track…Possible application…

> (Superstructure) product decisions

> Network extensions

> Renewal and refurbishment measures

> Cost driver analysis (cost transparency)

> General identification of cost saving potential

> Modification of the maintenance regime

> Optimising preventive maintenance against the economic background

> Economic assessment of maintenance interval changes
