WP1 is a basis for the technical profiling of the terminal together with the cost-benefit analysis. Rail Baltica (RB) is an international railway corridor and part of TEN-T core network, and it is designed to connect the Baltics with the rest of Europe by European standard gauge (1435 mm). The route will stretch from the Polish/Lithuanian border to Tallinn. In Tallinn, RB will connect to Muuga Harbour, which is specialised in handling transit origin goods and is one of the biggest cargo harbours in the region. The construction of Rail Baltica in the proximity of the main cargo harbour of Estonia is regarded as an opportunity to develop a multi-modal freight terminal (MCTRB) to support the North Sea-Baltic Core Network Corridor. The current study defines the opportunities and barriers in the implementation of the MCTRB project from a transport and economic perspective, provides a benchmark of alternative routes and competition in the area, calculates cargo flows volumes and structure forecast, and gives recommendations on project implementation. Connecting the largest cargo harbour of Estonia with the trans-European transport network opens up a new paradigm of cargo movement on the North-South axis Muuga Harbour is the main cargo harbour of the Port of Tallinn. It mainly handles crude oil and oil products (liquid bulk constituted 56 % in 2016), and it also serves dry bulk (26 %), containers (15 %) and other types of cargo. The facilities of the harbour include six liquid bulk terminals, two multi-purpose terminals, container and ro-ro terminals, and dry bulk, grain, steel and coal terminals. Muuga mainly specialises in handling transit goods, which in all account for 80 % of the total transit volume of the Port of Tallinn and around 70 % of all transit cargo passing through

  • Dynamic Model of the Passenger Flow on Rail Baltica
    Proceedings of the 2018 Winter Simulation Conference M. Rabe, A.A. Juan, N. Mustafee, A. Skoogh, S. Jain, and B. Johansson, eds. DYNAMIC MODEL OF THE PASSENGER FLOW ON RAIL BALTICA Juri Tolujew Tobias Reggelin Irina Yatskiv Ilya Jackson Department of Mathematical Methods and Department of Logistics and Material Handling Modelling Systems Transport and Telecommunication Institute Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg Lomonosova Str. 1 Universitätsplatz 2 LV-1019 Riga, LATVIA 39106 Magdeburg, GERMANY ABSTRACT This paper describes the design and application of a model simulating the passenger flows on the high- speed rail line Rail Baltica. The proposed model allows one to define passenger flow service indicators, according to data on the behavior of potential passengers that take the train in different localities along Rail Baltica. If corresponding baseline data is provided and the duration of the longest trip will not exceed one day, the model can be used to study processes on other railways with a similar structure. The developed model simulates movements and accumulation of passengers at stations and in trains on four sections connecting five cities along Rail Baltica. Besides that, the model allows for studying particular scenarios related to large sports or other events that will take place near one or several cities through which the railway passes. 1 INTRODUCTION Rail Baltica is a project to construct a high-speed railway that will link up the Baltic states Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia with Central European countries. As the result of the “Rail Baltica I” stage, a standard-gauge railway with a track gauge of 1,435 mm will be built.
