Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years of European reforms have not (yet) produced the railway market that was initially dreamt of. Competition remains limited. This paper looks at one element of regulation, charges for the use of railway infrastructure and other upstream services. In order to allow competition in rail transport services, access to infrastructure is subject to specific European Union (hereafter, "EU") capacity allocation and pricing rules as of 1995, transposed in the respective national laws. But in 2010, the Commission observed that "[t]he development of the railway sector and its capacity to compete viably with other modes of transport are still hampered by serious problems related [among others] to (a) inadequate financing and pricing of the infrastructure". This paper seeks to identify potential causes of why charging schemes have not (yet) been able to improve the railways' share. After having delineated the scope of the analysis, namely the tariffs of upstream railway services (1), this paper describes the EU rules that are applicable to those tariffs (2). That description is then subject to an evaluation of the achievement of the objectives pursued by charging schemes, through some examples (3), before this paper proposes the way forward (4). A short conclusion is provided summarising the main findings and recommendations (5).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a rapidly changing world, with increasing competition in all sectors of transportation, railways are currently restructuring their planning, management, and technology. As commercial and pricing policies change and new methods of organization are introduced, a more entrepreneurial spirit is required. At the same time, new high-speed tracks are being constructed and old tracks are being renewed, magnetic levitation trains are in operation, hyperloop systems are being planned, high-comfort rolling stock vehicles are being introduced, logistics and combined transport are being developed. Awareness of environmental issues and the search for greater safety attribute a new role to the railways within the transportation system. Meanwhile, methods of analysis have evolved significantly, principally due to computer applications, the internet revolution, satellite technologies, and artificial intelligence, all of which offer new ways of thinking about and addressing old problems. Railway Planning, Management, and Engineering aims to fulfill the need for a new scientific approach for railways. It is intended to be of use to railway planners, managers, economists, engineers, and students in engineering, transportation, economics, and management. The book is divided into three parts, which deal successively with planning, management, track, rolling stock, safety, and the environment.
