1 Welkom IRSE Seminar: Delivering Business Performance Dutch Track More Capacity, Less Complexity Vincent Weeda 29 maart 2012

2 Agenda ProRail and our Challenge Recent years: Optimise existing capacity Benchmark Japan Programme Dutch Track Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 2

3 Market Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 3

4 Infrastructure Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 4

5 Challenge Growth Reliability More for Less Lower Costs Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 5

6 Recent years: Feedback loop Optimise existing capacity Operations Timetable next year Routes Train orders Running times next weeks ARS Dispatching Level X Measures Records & Analyses Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 6

7 Timetable example: Utrecht unravelled Fewer dependencies, higher capacity! Smooth operations, easy for pax. Punctuality +2%, fewer unscheduled stops Timetable: much achieved. Now Infra: benchmark Japan! Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 7

8 Japan: what did we see? Lots of passengers (HSL Osaka-Tokyo 409,000/ day) 60 trains/h on two tracks (ending) 40 high-speed trains/h on 2 tracks 97% of the trains delayed by less than 5 minutes Headway time of 2 minutes along the platform Integration of train & infra, but companies run on each other s network Only a few SPADs per year Railways pay tax!!! We want that, too! What is Japan? Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 8

9 Japan: 1. High capacity Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 9

10 Japan: 2. Speed Speed paradox Short stops (even at terminals) e.g. Tokyo (a train every 2 minutes) Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 10

11 Japan: 3. (almost) nothing else. Additional points for incident mangement? Don t facilitate but prevent! no bi-directional signalling less incident mgt and possessions fewer points fewer failures and maintenance Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 11

12 Japan: culture & human factors? Who has to be the sharper driver? Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 12

13 Tokyo vs. Utrecht 28 points 280 points Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 13

15 Complexity Not Points have disadvantages: capacity (signal placement) fewer points more signals punctuality (crossing moves, wrong routes, derusting) availability (maintenance, failures) safety (collision, derailment, comprehensibility) money (investment, maintenance of infra and rolling stock) noise, vibration, comfort, energy (heating) speed (even straight) fewer points faster curves but Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 15

16 Dutch Track Programme for coming years: Less Complexity (fewer points) More Capacity (shorter headways) Higher average speeds Dutch Track 16

17 Dutch Track: Less Complexity Nationwide 7500 points Reconsider Keep Keep (or speed up!) > ? <1000 in side tracks out of use for unlikely incident management for previous timetables incident management timetable flexibility storage & maintenance incidental trains regular hour pattern Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 17

18 Headway (in)stability Conventional signal spacing train 300m sight 300m Y 1200 m 1200 m R station Free flow headway 20m/s 150s 1200 m Perturbed headway 8m/s 190s Shorter blocks train 300m sight 300m Y6FL 600 m 600 m 400 m Y R Free flow headway 20m/s 120s 400 m Perturbed headway 8m/s 90s Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 18

19 Headway (in)stability Conventional signal spacing Shorter blocks Dutch Track 19

20 Dutch Track: More Capacity Headway time 3 min 2 min Optimise for headways (signals first) Easier signal placement (catenary, points, level X) Shorter braking distances (freight!) ERTMS? fewer placement requirements many signals smooth traffic standstill is no issue Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 20

21 Example: Naarden-Bussum 80km/h Possibility: all 130km/h Benefits: running time (revenue/km, costs/h) headway time energy Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 21

22 Utrecht 2010: 12 tracks x 14 platforms I will just put 8800 on track 8 Red circles: IC Amf, Rtd, Ehv SPR Bkl and Gvc red for minutes. Eventually, 10 trains in all directions more than +5 delay. National effect Ledn-Ut (adjusted route) 8800 Ledn-Ut (planned route) Reality: A timetable manager or local planner in Utrecht can with one well-intended action (whether or not at the request of a carrier) cause delays all through the country. The infrastructure at Utrecht is too complex to be actually controllable: situations of this type are daily practice. Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 22

23 Utrecht 2015: six independent lines Typical figures: 100 points headway time 100 sec platform tracks 80 km/h Dutch Track 23

24 Growth Reliability Shorter Headways Conclusion: win-win! Higher Speed Fewer Points More Capacity, Less Complexity: fast, frequent, safe, quiet, cheap for passenger, TOC, infra mgr, society Lower Costs Dutch Track: More Capacity, Less Complexity 24
