Equivqalent is increased regarding of train category: 20% for EuroCity, InterCity, express and agency trains 15% for fast and semi-fast trains 10% for passenger and cross-border trains  T – Train path equivalent (as it was) in freight transport – is determined on the basis of the train mass by correlating the average train mass of an individual grouping with the average mass of all trains in freight transport.  T – Train path equivalent (as it was) Additional charge for train mass [dm] - is applied on all types of trains in freight transport whose mass is greater than 1500 tons and amounts to 0.30. Additional charge for the use of tilting technique [dn] – is applied on all trains in passenger transport which use tilting technique and amounts to 0.20.  L – Line parameter (as it was) Lines grouped in 6 categories based on traffic and technological aspect.  L – Line parameter (as it was) Line cost equivalent - unit cost of infrastructure for each line Line operation equivalent - 2 components (realized train kilometers and achieved gross tonne-kilometers) Technical line parameter - type of lines (share of double track lines in all lines) - slope streaks (share of lines with more then 10 promils) - speed of lines (100 km/h) - electrification - allowed load (less than 2ot per axis)  Train type & Line parameter (changes & adjustments) - traveled distance is added to train mass - correlating average gross tonne kilometer of an individual grouping with the average gross tonne kilometer of all trains (separately in freight and passenger transport) - use of total train mass  cvlkm – Basic price per train kilometer (as it was) Determined on the basis of direct costs for the maintenance of railway infrastructure and traffic management on railway infrastructure and realized train kilometers. Prices are expressed separately for passenger and for freight transport.  cvlkm – Basic price per train kilometer (as it was) Direct Determinated: costs Initially - 10% of Train Control (Rail operation) and 100% of Use of Running Track Points and Junctions (Rail operability) Later on - 100% of Rail operation and 20% of Rail operability  cvlkm – Basic price per train kilometer (changes & adjustments) Direct EU Regulation 2015/909 costs include only costs that are triggered directly by the operation of the train service use of eligible costs 3 year average  K - Price correction coefficient (as it was) Price correction coefficient [K] – amounts to K=1 when the charges are calculated in the amount of direct costs. The infrastructure owner (Government), depending on the state of the transport market, may determine a lower correction coefficient.  K - Price correction coefficient (changes & adjustments) compliant with national legislation, but could go against the general EU goals and principles of railway infrastructure charging new approach to the direct cost calculation use of share of eligible costs canceled in line with EU and national legal framework Minimum Access Package Charges formula (new) S – Coefficient for the single wagon load train consultant’s proposal Implemented for stimulation of RU`s for transportation single wagon loads is applied to all types of freight single wagon load trains and amounts 0,8  S – Coefficient for the single wagon load train Description increase of a rail freight transport competitiveness by means of transport of and little amount of goods (transported by a few wagons) advantages prevention of a migration of significant part of rail freight transport to roads and better track utilization straighten up the competitive position of railway transport compared to road transport. Additional proposals from consultants company & future interventions empty containers a train carrying only empty containers is considered as train with empty wagons (lower value of train path equivalent) support of new transports incentive for trains equipped with ETCS According to the Directive 2012/34/EU, infrastructure managers should modify the charging system through a temporary differentiation for trains equipped with ETCS (in order to accelerate the installation of the European Train Control System on board locomotives). Thank you for your attention!

E.g. train path charge in a given market segment is increased à this may lead to higher tarifs for end customers à therefore to a decrease of demand Ramsey is a method, which uses a pricing inverse to the elasticity of the demand. What parameters are needed? § elasticities § cost structure: percentage TAC of total costs of Railway Undertaking Goal: to spread a given total revenue over market segments according to „what the market can bear“  Questions sent by email July 11, 2017 Questions § Do you apply Ramsey pricing in your charging system? § If you apply Ramsey pricing for determining TAC: Which price elasticities are your market segments for 2018 (and for 2019) based on? § Are you aware of any studies in Europe / your own country regarding concrete data about the price elasticities of market segments?

the National Railway Act to implement the new price cap regulation Calculation of the price cap in four steps: 1) Base Year: identification of average costs and traffic volumes prior to the control period – The average is formed by up to 5 past and concluded business years – DB Netz then identifies the average costs and traffic volumes of these years and the BNetzA checks them 2) AGK: update of base year costs to the starting level of overall costs – Base year costs are udated to account for developements during the time lag between the base year and the beginning of the control period, e.g. increasing costs for workforce or quailty requirements – DB Netz indentifies the updated costs, which are then again checked by the regulatory body 3) OGK: update of the starting level of overall costs to yearly cost caps – The yearly cost cap accounts for general inflation via an inflation rate and sets an incentive for the track access manager via a productivity rate 4) Price Cap: division of the yearly cost cap by the base year traffic volume = yearly price cap inflation rate - productivity rate 2014 2015 2016 Base Year AGK OGK OGK … OGK 2019 2020 2023 12 DB Netz AG | I.NMK2 (T) |
