7 UNESCAP 4 May 2018 Why Information Standards?

> Improvement in quality of service

> Improved integration for interoperability

> Savings in time and costs

> Operational flexibility to introduce new business processes

8 UNESCAP 4 May 2018 What Needs To Be Standardised?

> Data and Coding Locations Train Identification Company and Customer Coding Wagon Identification

> Messaging XML catalogue (i.e. TAF = 45+ Messages)

> Processes Define Data Handling Responsibilities for all service areas

12 UNESCAP 4 May 2018 ORFEUS: The future of consignment notes (ECN)

13 UNESCAP 4 May 2018 Exchange of commercial data via ORFEUS

Within ORFEUS currently several message formats (XML) agreed by all participating RUs are used to transmit the commercial data either after being:

• captured for the first time (Create E-Transport Dossier) and updated by the creating RU (Update E-Transport Dossier) as forwarding messages -- or -- • captured for the first time, distributed in sequence and updated by the current posessing carrier (Electronic consignment note)

> The message contains 100% of the information of the new CIM Consignment Note > Has been extended to include the ECN (CIM/SMGS) in XML format

14 UNESCAP 4 May 2018 ISR: Get information about your wagon, anytime and anywhere

15 UNESCAP 4 May 2018 What is ISR?

> ISR allows the exchange of information about the movements of wagons (both loaded and empty) in international traffic through a central platform. > The message broker ensures the reception of messages, their validation as well as format conversion and distribution. > All data like the wagon movement events and the transport description are stored in the central ISR database for the transport duration (max. 30 days). > A subset of the consignment note data is taken over from ORFEUS to match the events to a Transport Description (TD). > After a transport has finished, a part of the transport description as well as the first and last event is used to create an Experienced Transport Plan (ETP). So for new transports running under the same conditions the expected last event can be shown. > Due to strict filtering rules, only RU can access the ISR database based on their role in the transportation. The relationship with the customers remains within each RU. > The ISR information is available via • web view • web services • data forwarding.

17 UNESCAP 4 May 2018 Seoul, 24 October 2014 Conclusion

> IT Tools can help railways meet their objectives for:

• Increasing Service Reliability • Increasing Visibility for the Customer • Facilitating data exchange and system integration between the players • Connecting the Customers

• Increasing the attactiveness of RAIL to facilitate a modal change

18 UNESCAP 4 May 2018 Trends for Rail IT

> Connecting the Customers > Connecting the supply chain > Leveraging Semantic Web and Ontologies > Develop information integration for multi-modal movements > Promote the use of open architecture and standard service interfaces > Enable decentralised deployment (whereby providers and consumers of transportation services can publish their specification-compliant services) > Develop architectural and data models that use open specifications
