  • Costs and Demand of High Speed Rail in Italy and Spain
    World Conference on Transport Research - WCTR 2016 Shanghai. 10-15 July 2016 Delusions of success: costs and demand of high speed rail in Italy and Spain Paolo Beria1a, Daniel Albalateb, Raffaele Grimaldia, Germà Belb a Department of Architecture and Urban Studies (DAStU), Politecnico di Milano, Italy b Dep. Política Econòmica, Universitat de Barcelona, Spain Abstract Mismatches between forecasted and actual costs and traffic figures are common in transport investments, especially in large scale ones, and so are delusions on future demand. High-speed rail project are often among the worst practices for cost overruns and demand overestimation, even where traffic figures may tell a history of apparent success. In the paper, we analyse two significant cases of delusion of success, namely Italian and Spanish HSR programmes. The Italian one shows excellent demand performances, but is among the continental worst cases for construction costs. The Spanish one, recognised worldwide as one of the most successful cases, is the one where potential demand estimations was systematically neglected and the planned network appears largely out-of-scale compared to actual traffic. The two cases show that the core of the problem does not lay in the wrong estimations of costs and demand, but on deliberate choices of overinvestment, overdesign and overquality. © 2017 The Authors.

Presentation of the Observatory The purpose of this Observatory is to promote multimodal transport through knowledge of the cost structure of rail freight. The Observatory aims to continue to update its theoretical bases and to have space to expand with data from other countries in each new edition, to broaden the external costs and to add the contributions that the entities from the railway sector may make to its content. Furthermore, the aim is to link it with the Road Transport Cost Observatory of the Autonomous Government of Catalonia to be able to define the cost of the logistics chain through a multimodal freight transport cost Observatory.

Samenvatting High-speed rail systemen zijn momenteel een geaccepteerde manier van reizen in verschillende landen in de wereld. In de afgelopen decennia hebben high-speed railsystemen zich gestaag ontwikkeld, voornamelijk in Azië en Europa, maar er zijn ook initiatieven te vinden in de Verenigde Staten, Zuid-Amerika, het Midden-Oosten en Afrika. Eén van de beleidsdoelstellingen van de Europese Commissie om een duurzame toekomst op te bouwen was om de spoorwegsector te revitaliseren. De liberalisering van de spoorwegsector heeft geleid tot een splitsing tussen nationale infrastructuurbeheerders en spoorwegondernemingen. Een nieuw Europees wettelijk kader is ingevoerd om de nationale netwerken open te stellen voor andere operatoren en om de opbouw van een pan-Europese high-speed railnetwerk op basis van de reeds door de nationale regeringen genomen initiatieven te ondersteunen.

  • Lcc Approach for High-Speed Ballastless Tracks
    MASTER OF SCIENCE THESIS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2015 LCC APPROACH FOR HIGH-SPEED BALLASTLESS TRACKS IRENE SERRANO GONZÁLEZ KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT TSC-MT 15-011 LCC APPROACH FOR HIGH-SPEED BALLASTLESS TRACKS Master thesis August 2015 IRENE SERRANO GONZÁLEZ Division of Highway and Railway Engineering School of Architecture and the Built Environment Royal Institute of Technology 1 PREFACE The first academic semester of 2014, I took a course in KTH-Stockholm related to railways, led by Anders Lindahl, which I enjoyed largely due to the teacher’s implication on it. At the same time, I chose a high-speed platform design as final master degree project in The Polytechnic University of Madrid which I carried out during 2014-15. Thus, I decided to tell my project to Anders in order to look for a Master’s thesis in the same field. Moreover he introduced me to Michael Than, an engineer from Sweco company, who found me a place to sit in the company and also helped me in the costs data compilation and gave me advices from his large experience. Anders has been constantly helping and encouraging me through meetings and corrections whenever he was. I would like to thank them for their time and knowledge shared with me. The development of this research has not been an easy path due to mostly the difficulty to obtain reliable data. Furthermore, as this research contains an economic base and a method used in the Spanish project I would like to thank for their technical help both to my Spanish supervisor, Ricardo Lorenzale, and to my uncle, Ildefonso González.

Dr. Ingeniero de Caminos, Canales y Puertos SPICC, S.L. Madrid (España). [email protected] Resumen: Los túneles para Infraestructuras del Transporte (principalmente túneles ferroviarios), construidos con tuneladora en España en los 15 años transcurridos desde 1996 hasta comienzos de 2012, suman un total de 405 km, lo que supone una media de 27 km, por año construidos en cada uno de los 15 años transcurridos, y ello sin contar los realizados por métodos convencionales o los destinados a otros usos (conductos hidráulicos o servicios). El autor pasa revista a las características principales de dichos proyectos, siguiendo el orden cronológico de las obras en que, cada uno de los Organismos siguientes, promovió la construcción con TBMs: la Comunidad de Madrid (MINTRA); el GIF (después ADIF) del Ministerio de Fomento; la Generalidad de Cataluña (GISA); La Dirección General de FFCC del Ministerio de Fomento; La Junta de Andalucía y el Ayuntamiento de Madrid. Se completa el artículo con las principales mejoras adoptadas en las tuneladoras, de las cuales algunas se probaron y adoptaron por primera vez en España. Este artículo, encargado al autor por AETOS, como aportación de esta Asociación al “Simposio Internacional sobre Túneles y Pozos” celebrado en México en febrero de 2012, fue escrito en dicho mes para incluirlo como intervención magistral de la Ingeniería española de Túneles en los PROCEEDINGS del Simposio.
