General Information 1.1. Introduction Large incidents like Rastatt show that international measures must be implemented to be able to quickly organize traffic after a major interruption. In 2018 European Rail Infrastructure Managers (IMs) agreed on international processes for managing international disruptions due to unforeseen events, such as incidents, with the aim of minimising the negative impact on the railway system, which are the key elements of business continuity management, as measures to strengthen the resilience of the rail system and to rebuild customer confidence in rail. These processes are described in the “Handbook for International Contingency Management (ICM Handbook)” that was adopted under the umbrella of Rail Net Europe (RNE). The described processes in the ICM Handbook provides an international pre-defined re-routing overview and scenarios for sections of the Rail Freight Corridors (RFCs), with at least 2 aims: ▪ To help traffic management and timetabling units with the coordination of the deviation of freight trains in the plannable phase (as soon as possible after an incident) in case of disruptions ▪ To support the RUs in planning their contingency management, with the objective to increase possible use of deviation routes as soon as possible Our document includes scenarios with the possible re-routing options for all the involved sections for re- routing on RFC MED for the benefit of Railway Undertakings (RU) readiness to act properly in these cases. The deviation routes concerned, were defined with taking into account all the existing physical limitations along RFC MED: ▪ track gauge differences between the Iberian system (ADIF) and UIC gauge (SNCF Réseau) ▪ power supply differences (4 different systems together with un-electrified connections) ▪ single/double track lines, on Southern part of ADIF Network and on the Eastern part of our RFC (SŽ- I, HŽI, MÁV), hundreds of kilometres, even principal routes, of lines are single track either in a Member State or between/among Member States ▪ some lines are under construction and so are out of service at the moment ▪ in some cases, there are no re-routing options available, as there are no alternatives In this document the described re-routing scenarios in general are based on those lines, which are secondary lines with less advanced technical parameters comparing to the principal routes of our RFC. Finally, in case of deviation routes free capacity could be take into account, which means remaining after allocation from yearly timetable and ad hoc capacity (based on estimations of historical experiences. This document represents RFC MED understanding and implementation of the existing version of ICM Handbook. 7 Mediterranean RFC Re-Routing Scenarios 2019 1.2. Publication and update RFC MED will update this document and annexes on yearly basis, which will be published together with the Customer Information Document on the second Monday of January.
