However, we are reminded that "a radical change is necessary to face the challenges that the sector faces in issues such as digitisation, automation, urban development and climate change". In this report, Mafex requests strident backing for innovation both natio- nally and internationally, to achieve greater competitiveness on the part of Spanish companies, as well as in- creasing its presence in major Euro- pean R&D programmes, such as Shi- ft2Rail, and in management bodies. Likewise, the need to assign a greater allocation of economic resources is stressed in order that the sector may continue to spearhead the technolo- gical changes that occur.

Financing plans For this, it is necessary that public ad- ministrations and government bodies promote R&D+i programmes that include long-term financing plans.

other operators are entering the market of passenger transport. How is Renfe preparing for this new scenario? Isaías Táboas: Indeed, the perspecti- ve of liberalisation in 2020 is a great challenge for our company. But at the same time it represents a great opportunity to grow and an oppor- tunity to be better as professionals and as a company. For this reason, the 2019-2023 strategic plan that we have just approved, includes nearly 50 projects that seek to dee- ply transform Renfe so that it can compete successfully in this new sce- nario. Among the most outstanding actions of this plan, I would highlight the launching of new low-cost high- speed services, the firm commitment to internationalisation and strategic alliances, the transformation of Renfe Viajeros into an integral mobility ope- rator based on the concept of "mo- bility as a service", which involves the provision of services throughout the entire journey, from the origin to the final destination. And with regard to Renfe Mercancías, the objective is to transform the company into an inte- gral and international logistics opera- tor.

Sectorial Structure Amongst the main stakeholders of the Spanish railway sector is the Ministry of Public Works, which is responsible for the administration of the sector as a whole, strategic plan- ning, the general organisation and regulation of the system, especially in everything related to safety and interoperability, along with the re- lationships between sectorial stake- holders. For its part, the Railway Infrastruc- ture Administrator (ADIF), created in 2003, manages the new UIC high speed and width lines that appear in its balance sheet (Madrid-Seville, with the access branch to Toledo, and Madrid-Saragossa-, a to- tal of 1,010 km) and the conventio- nal Iberian gauge network (11,780

Another key player is Renfe Rail Ma- nager, the only company that ma- nages passenger transport (commu- ter, long and medium-distance and high-speed). This public business holding company has four subsi- diaries: Renfe Viajeros (Passenger), Renfe Mercos (Freight), Renfe Fabri- cacion y Mantenimient (Manufac- ture and Maintenance)o and Renfe Alquiler de Material Ferroviario (Rai- lway Material Rentals).

BIG DATA: DATA TO OPTIMISE MOBILITY The use of Big Data, a large volume of data, opens the door to greater and better knowledge of public transport in the cities. The possibility of having a permanent con- nection to the different user devices can mean that operators foresee the user's needs and provide more services for their greaterconvenience. With this knowledge, applicationsare developed that automate andendow the system with the possibility of convertinghuge amounts of data into infor - mationthat helps decision-making become more efficient, to grow in terms of research anddevelopment. This has a repercussion in termsof logistics, in the modelling of opera - tionsand traffic management in real time. It also serves for a complete analysis of mobi- litypatterns (mobile phone data, social net - works,etc.), and the detection of accidents.

BLOCKCHAIN Blockchain is also already a priority tech- nology for intermodal centres, due to its multipleuses: identification of passengers, issuance of tickets, administration of more intuitiveloyalty programmes, improved bag - gagetracking, simplified payment methods, etc. It is an option that allows for different agentsof public transport to work together and with greater efficiency. This new system of distributed databases allows several actors to share access to the sameinformation in a secure and confiden - tial manner.

MACHINE LEARNING: EFFICIENT ROUTING MANAGEMENT

Innovations such as "Machine Learning" offer the opportunity to analyse the enor- mousamount of data that is generated con - tinuously in urban transport networks. Theapplications of machine learning within urban intermodality can be used to use al- gorithmsand analyse data to subsequently carry out predictive analyses that allow for advance routing management. It is an ideal option to deploy a system of self-management of public transport in a Smart City.

INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) Thedigital interconnection of everyday ob - jects with the Internet is what is known as IoT, in line with its initials. The use of tech- nology through the Internet is a key factor in transport systems today, since it allows for the connection of infrastructures, sta- tions, administration systems, and other assets hitherto unknown until the present time. Connected transport solutions help in numerous ways in the field of intermo- dality. For example, the operating costs of fleet management and unit location and maintenanceare reduced, thus increasing theefficiency of the networks; security is -in creased(video surveillance and monitoring solutions)and new services are provided to users(better experience for Wi-Fi access, tic - ket purchasing, etc.).

The arrival of the digital age is aimed at improving the user's final experience.

SMART STATIONS The intermodal stations (buses, subway, commutertrains) are moving towards a new model where technology plays a key role. Theseare smart centres that apply the latest developmentsin the Internet of Things (IoT), the Cloud and Big Data that allow users to enjoy a wide range of services in real time whilemaking their trip a unique experience. Thisis a new model that provides direct mo - nitoringand assistance through mobile devi - cesfor installations and assets (lifts, cameras, ticketing, check-in, , etc.) and a wide range of services. Inthese areas of exchange, advanced com - municationsinfrastructures such as the 4G and 5G networks are implemented, as well asfacilitating access to the Wi-Fi network for passengers. Theseadvances allow for the improvement ofthe operational, economic and sustaina - bleperformance of urban mobility networks. The examination of large volumes of data (BigData) improves the decision making in the planning of operations and results in greater security and efficiency. Adaptationto this new technological evolu - tion makes it possible for these terminals to beconnected with other transport systems andwith the different urban services; all this as part of the concept of "Smart City".

DIGITISED ENVIRONMENTS AND TERMINALS Thetraditional transport terminals give way, thanksto new technologies, to digitised in - frastructures,with movement, where facili - tiesand passengers can be interconnected through networks and sensors. We are shifting towards a new era where automation brings new services that will improveintermodal travel.

SINGLE TICKET: INTEGRATE ALL MEANS The diversity of tickets that a passenger must use on several networks in a single journey can have a dissuasive effect on the use of public systems over the private car. Hence, numerous cities such as Barcelona, Valencia, Lisbon, Rome, Brussels, amongst others,have already implemented the single ticket system, a modern alternative that fa- vours intermodality. The technology applied in these cases makes the route more comfortable for the user and avoids duplications in the net- work. Furthermore, the industry of the sector has made available to the market a high range ofintegral solutions for the integral fare ma - nagement of multimodal transport.

CONTACTLESS TECHNOLOGY AS A MEANS OF PAYMENT

Theway of acquiring the ticket also tends to bedigital. Innovative means of payment are promoted,such as tactile technology. With it you can make the payment inside the vehi- cles or directly in the ticketing point. This eliminates the need to previously pur- chase tickets, cards, transportation tickets or having to go to ticket offices or vending machines. On an intermodal trip it allows for faster and simpler access, minimises the costs of issuingtickets for the operator, facilitates the identification of the user when dealing with nominal cards. It also allows us to obtain data such as re- currence,behaviour, origin and carrying out studies on users.

AUTOMATION Progressinvolving vehicle instrumentation and GPS self-navigation are also highly no- teworthy.The industry is developing autono - mous vehicles that will be a part of urban intermodality in the future. In the railway field, these advances reach spheres such as automatic driving systems. Thetechnological solution used, "Automatic Train Operation" (ATO), is being installed in urbantrains endowed with a CTBC platform (Controlof Communications-Based Trains). In a network where there is intense traffic, as in large cities, having these advances helpsto optimise management by reducing theinterval between trains and shortening journey times.

SECURITY: VIDEO SURVEILLANCE The increase in the number of passengers and the greater complexity of transport terminals, such as large exchanges, make it necessary to have a central manage- ment system as advanced as possible that protects users from criminal activities or preventsbehavioural patterns that disturb public order. In these platforms key data is loaded, as wellas the information of global positioning systems"Global Positioning System" (GPS) and alarms. The new systems of video surveillance and analysis,access control allow to identify the faces of people with greater clarity.

This implies the need to redesign the information systems and especially the way in which new data, both structured and unstructured, is collected, stored and processed. TRN TÁRYET has bet on this new tech- nology to carry out the mobility studies and overcome the growing difficulties of the traditional survey methods. In this sense, the company is leading two significant projects: Analysis, design, installation and commissioning of an analytical platform for traffic and trans- port modeling in Madrid and Analysis of mobility and modeling of the Tenerife Island transport system.

The railway system has become the back- bone of the public transport system. We are extending the Vitoria-Gasteiz tram network to the south and, soon, to Salburua/Zabal- gana; in , we are modernising the system and the new underground route of the TOPO in Donostia will enable us to reach the universities and new neighbourhoods; in Bizkaia, the Metro is still growing and Line

We are moving towards a more sustaina- ble mobility system in the Basque Country by increasing the demand and use of both the railway and the electric transport sys- tems. We are working on three sectoral in- dicators, which are the increase in the use of electric vehicles, the need to promote the recharging infrastructure, and the elec- trification of public transport. Line 3 of the Bilbao Metro system connects several new areas and more people. We are prioritising public and collective transport schemes, opting for means of transport that do not use fossil fuels. There are several examples of the implementation of electric public transport, such as the BEI- SEB (Smart Electric Bus) in Donostia or Gas- teiz (with exclusive lanes and traffic priority).

We need to boost the development of the local economy and knowledge, being ca- pable of producing most of our supplies, services, innovation and resources required by future mobility solutions at an interna- tional level: technological and industrial development. Work on the underground section of the Topo is making good progress in Donostia.

Indeed, we are talking about putting to- gether a single system. We want to design an integrated transport framework that will provide users with what we call a sin- gle system, full interoperability. And it must come with a truly attractive offer. The Basque Country enjoys a favourable environment for the adoption by civil so- ciety and businesses of sustainable mobili- ty options through its experience, training, promotion and awareness-raising actions.
