Presentation of the UIP Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 2
UIP – Who we are? Founded in 1950, the International Union of Private Wagons encompasses today 15 national associations within the EU and has its seat in Brussels. It represents owners, loaders, users and other parties interested in about 180. 000 private rail freight wagons running in Europe The economic importance of the fleet of private wagons is a combined result of specialization and use of efficient logistic processes such that the total European wagon fleet produces nearly half of all tonne-kilometres carried. Charles-Antoine Rivière MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 3
UIP – Who we are? The UIP represents the interests of its members at the European Union and other international organizations. It carries out research in the fields of technology, operations, economics and marketing and looks after the interest of the private wagon by contributing to the drawing up of international regulations and guidelines. The UIP’s main objective is to guarantee a future for the private wagon within a liberalized rail freight sector, aiming at always safe and more efficient and competitive railway transport. Indispensable prerequisite for pursuing this objective is to increase the market share of rail freight transport. Within the framework of its European activities UIP actively supports together with its partner organizations all corresponding European liberalization policy endeavours. Charles-Antoine Rivière MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 4
What’s new with the UIP? UIP’s important role § In the course of liberalisation and harmonisation of the sector, which was commanded by the EU with the well known directives on high speed transport, conventional transport and safety, and which were beneficiary to the private and mainly small enterprises, the actors of the sectors were requested to participate actively to their organisation. § To implement the directives, 16 TSIs (Technical Specifications for Interoperability) were set up; some of them are currently revised. Yet the word «specifications » is misleading because they are clearly legal texts, which the Member States must absolutely transpose in their national legislations. As further help to implementation, around 80 European standards were and still are to be completed or created. Although standards are usually recommendations, they become comparable to laws as soon as they are referred to in a TSI, i. e. a law. Charles-Antoine Rivière MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 5
What’s new with the UIP? Committee works at the UIP Internal Meetings Management, Director’s , Technical Committees, RSRD² project, … External Meetings GCU (JC, PEX, technical annexes, …), ERA (TSIs, ECM, ERA TF, ERATV, …), Sector (GRB, JSG, …), DG MOVE (Telematic, Noise, …), OTIF (RID/ADR, technical expert group, …) Almost 40 working Groups at the European level to cover by the UIP’s members.

Technical issues Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 10
Technical issues 2010 has been an important milestone in railway sector’ s life: - TF maintenance ECM certification – deadline: June 2010 GCU: new amendments and proposals WAG TSI 2011 will be the starting point of implementation and time to continue to develop other important issues - Noise TSI - RSRD² project and TAF TSI Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 11
Results of the ERA TF The Joint Sector Program worked out in the ERA Task Force was fully adopted - • European Action Program: A Visual Inspection of the European wheelset/axle population (according to EVIC) A more in-depth investigation of samples of wheelsets from defined operating areas A European-wide implementation of systematic traceability of wheelset maintenance Collection of data will start from 01. 08. 2010 The data will be recorded in a filterable electronic system at latest from 01. 2012 onwards. • Confirmation of the European standard axle load of 20 t for UIC Type A axles (and the special cases, e. g. France, Belgium, Sweden) • Clarification: new (design) standards are not applicable on existing/old designs • European Common Criteria for Maintenance Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 12
Results of the ERA TF The 1 st element of the European Action Program: Visual Inspection program of the European wheelset/axle population The whole European wagon fleet will be subject to a Visual Inspection of the axle status Goal: • to sort out axles from operation according to EVIC • to record a set of minimum data for the inspected axles • to remove from service (immediately or after unloading) axles not complying with the Minimum Acceptance Criteria (axles with a high presumption of damages in favour of causing cracks) and • to hand over removed axles to heavy maintenance with appropriate treatment and NDT When/where: As soon as a wagon enters a WS and at least when wagon is lifted or on pits Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 13
Results of the ERA TF The 1 st element of the European Action Program: Visual Inspection program of the European wheelset/axle population • 2 European “Train the Trainers” trainings for Joint EVIC bodies • 15 member states integrated • ca. 50 training sessions in member states (workshops, keepers, RUs) • > 750 trainers and workshop staff trained • EVIC docs in 10 languages • EVIC started from 01. 04. 2010 • More than 310. 000 axles checked up to November 2010 • Implementation in GCU progressing Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 14
Results of the ERA TF The 1 st element of the European Action Program: Visual Inspection program of the European wheelset/axle population Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 15
Results of the ERA TF The 2 nd element of the European Action Program: the Sampling Programme Sampling programme aims to analyse the efficiency of the EVIC on cracks detection. For the UIP: 6 000 axles have to be checked through a dedicated process (24 000 axles checked by the Sector). For the UIP, the checks are performed by GATX, VTG, ERMEWA and WASCOSA: 1500 checks per keeper, within 1 year (June 2010 – Mai 2011) Because of the low number of inspected wheelset at the moment it’s not possible to draw conclusions from the available data. Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 16
Results of the ERA TF The 3 rd element of the European Action Program: European Wheelset Traceability (EWT) (see EWT Implementation Guide v 1. 5) European Traceability approved by the ERA -> 47 data -> start from August 2010 -> recorded in a filterable electronic system at latest from 01. 2012 Self-commitment to implement the EWT Next revision of EN 15313 will implement EWT fits with EBA request (Allgemeinverfügung) ANSF may revoke the Italian requirements Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 17
Results of the ERA TF Next steps for the JSG - The final results on inadmissible ‘’UIC surface roughness’’ in maintenance levels/ UIC project. The first results are expected in 2011; Handling of painted/ unpainted situation/ EURAXLES project. The first results are expected in 2014; Examine the need for harmonization of NDT techniques/ EURAXELS projects. The first results are expected in 2014; Effects on WS/axles caused by special events (derailments, etc)/ Investigation project which will be started by the JSG. Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 18
Results of the ERA TF Cooperation with ERA and the Authorities Corrosion is only one of the factors of derailment. Additional factors have to be investigated. The ERA will set up a study on causes of train derailment. Continuation of cooperation between the ERA and all the Sector organizations (RUs, IMs, ECMs, keepers, …) through a Freight Platform.

Entity in Charge of Maintenance Why an ECM? § Safety Directive 2004/49 (2008/110): Art. 4: RU/IM are responsible for the safe operation of the railway system (check before departure, maintenance, operation of trains, . . . ) Art. 9: RU/IM shall establish their safety management system. It shall ensure the control of all risks associated with the activity of the IM/RU, including the supply of maintenance and material and the use of contractors. § But RU/IM aren’t able to check that maintenance is well done for each vehicle. Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 21
Entity in Charge of Maintenance Why an ECM? § Solution: an ECM shall ensure that the vehicles for which it is in charge of maintenance are in a safe state of running by means of a system of maintenance An ECM is assigned to each vehicle before placing in service (in NVR) Mandatory certification in the case of freight wagon § BUT certification mandatory not before 2013. § That’s the reason why “transitional” solutions have been developed Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 22
Entity in Charge of Maintenance ECM- Timetable January 2011 Spring 2013 ECM Transitional solution s available EU regulation comes into force All the ECM have to be certified acc. to EU regulation Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 23
Entity in Charge of Maintenance ECM- Transitional phase (2010 -2013) To allow for a short term realization of the ECM Certification as foreseen in Article 14 a (4) of Directive 2004/49/EC, 10 Member States have signed in May 2009 a “Memorandum of Understanding” (Mo. U ECM) „establishing the basic principles of a common system of certification of entities in charge of maintenance for freight wagons“. However, only very few certificates have been issued according to the Mo. U. Since the Mo. U is not yet implemented, the sector organizations proposed to the Commission the following solution in order to cover the transition period: Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 24
Technical issues ECM- Transitional phase (2010 -2013) 1) A declaration of the RU, in the frame of the SMS, explaining the procedures it uses to verify and control that the vehicles are in a safe running state. 2) The RU’s declaration must describe how the necessary exchange of information is organized between the concerned parties. 3) As long as the ECMs are not yet certified according to Article 14 a of Directive 2004/49/EC or the Mo. U, a self declaration of the ECM is sufficient proof that it fulfills the requirements defined This self-declaration (see Application Guide sent by the Sector) consists on declaring that the ECM fulfills the requirements of annexes B and C 1 of the Mo. U and have checked through an internal audit. Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 25
Technical issues ECM- Transitional phase (2010 -2013) 4) Because some National Vehicle Registers (NVR) are not yet operational and accessible to the RUs in order to make the link between the keeper and the ECM of a vehicle, each keeper has to send a Keeper Self-Declaration, ensuring that the keeper is the ECM itself or entrusts the maintenance to a certified or self-declared ECM. Risk if this 2 self-declarations are not sent: many RUs will stop to operate wagons which are not covered by such a system.

Technical issues ECM- Scope of responsibility Maintenance Management Maintenance Design Charles-Antoine RIVIERE Fleet Maintenance Management MVME conference - Technical issues Maintenance Execution December 7, 2010 27
Entity in Charge of Maintenance ECM – Management of Maintenance - General Management commitment of management, identification and management of responsibilities, communication on the ECM management system, annual maintenance report, … - Supervision, coordination and information management of contracts with keepers, supervision of operational functions, qualification and supervision of the maintenance delivery, management of return of experience, … Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 28
Entity in Charge of Maintenance ECM – Design of Maintenance Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 29
Entity in Charge of Maintenance ECM - Fleet Maintenance Management Responsible for: - applying the maintenance referential to the vehicles. - Collecting information on maintenance performed and operations performed , including at least defects, incidents, accidents, mileage, This function has to check: - The capability including competence of the workshop to perform maintenance works - The operational possibility to send vehicles that have to be maintained to the workshop in due time. This function pronounces the release of wagon in operation after the work has been executed by the workshop. Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 30
Entity in Charge of Maintenance ECM – Maintenance Delivery Requirements from Certification of Maintenance Workshop are copy and paste INPUT Maintenance orders RST that has to maintained OUTPUT be Execution of maintenance Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues Records on maintenance performed Return on experience if requested RST maintained December 7, 2010 31
Entity in Charge of Maintenance Functions may be subcontracted The 3 operational functions may be sub contracted (entirely or partially). In case of sub contract, the function (or part of the function) has to be assessed by : 1 - an accredited body -> automatic presumption of conformity or 2 - a third party, which complies with requirements of annex 2 (based on ISO 17021) -> automatic presumption of conformity or 3 - the ECM itself which has to prove that requirements of annex 1 are fulfilled. Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 32
Entity in Charge of Maintenance ECM MAY BE a keeper Huge task. But ECM is the single entity in the new railway system, which is responsible for Maintenance. The full chain of maintenance has to be managed by the ECM. Some or many functions can be sub contracted but not the RESPONSIBILITY. Definition of the ECM = a responsible Entity Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 33
Entity in Charge of Maintenance SUMMARY Voluntary from Compulsory from ECM action required / deadline NSA action required/deadline Keeper action required/deadline ECM self declaration 11. 2010 01. 2011 If no ECM certification Send the ECM self declaration to the ERA Supervision / permanently To nominate the ECM in the NVR / Nov. 2010 Keeper self declaration 11. 2010 01. 2011 - Supervision / permanently Send the keeper self declaration to the ERA ECM certification acc. to Mo.

GCU New amendments Amendment chapter I - article 3 and annex 8 GCU bureau organization Amendment chapter II articles 7 and 9 and annex 2 Introduction of the ECM GCU Wagon Database To fill in by the keeper – deadline 01. 10. 2010 Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 35
WAGON TSI Status and implementation Revision is over at the end of 2010 A new structure: - A light core text with annexes, fixing mandatory requirements - An Application Guide, where many standards are quoted. This guide is voluntary but gives a presumption of conformity to the core text requirements Some major issues still under discussion: - The 3 rd wagon category which fixes the requirements for an “interoperational” wagon. (for ex. In the core text: not mandatory to have steps. But of course used by almost the RU in their operational rules. Same for markings, . . . ) - Upgrading and renewal: minimum harmonized rules still to fix in order to avoid systematically new authorization for Placing in Service when every single modification on wagon is performed. Implementation of WAG TSI scheduled in the 2 nd half of 2012 Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 36
UIP and the TAF TSI What is TAF TSI and the RSRD ? EU and railway industry have developed an integrated data exchange solution for all participants (IM, RU, PK, Workshops, Customers) [TAF TSI] Requires integration of existing railway operating systems Key responsibility for Private Keepers to make available technical railcar data in real time via unified RSRD Rolling Stock Reference Data Base Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 37
UIP and the TAF TSI The Project RSRD² In September 2009, The Common Interface (CI) development fails to fulfil important requirements like authorisation logic from the UIP point of view. Therefore it was decided to enhance RSRD to RSRD², compensating the lack of confidentiality in the CI. It should be available even if the CI is late, in order to allow the keepers to fulfil their legal obligations. Important features: - Mileage collection - Access authorisation Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 38
UIP and the TAF TSI Present Status Budget for development: 500. 000 €, financed by 6 funding companies Design development phase: done • Time table & milestones 1 2 3 4 0 Milestone 0 - assignment of contract Milestone 1 - accepted specification document Milestone 2 - all specified functionalities are implemented and tested Milestone 3 - application approved by users Milestone 4 - application approved by restricted pilot users Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 39
UIP and the TAF TSI The RSRD² and mileage calculation RSRD² project foresees the delivery of mileage information to the Keepers by passing data from RUs through a "black box" Mileage Calculation Engine (MCE) in a 3 rd party approach, when the data becomes available from RUs The development of calculation functionality of the MCE is not part of the RSRD² core function, however there is a requirement to work with Rail. Data to pass through initial mileage data from (only) 4 RUs to Keepers, which will be implemented as part of the RSRD² project Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 40
TSI Noise, Noise Differentiated Track Access Charges Noise… - Focus is on existing wagons • New build wagons must comply with TSI NOI since 2006 (K-blocks or Disc brakes) • Existing fleet (> 650’ 000 wagons) is equipped with cast iron brake blocks • Retrofitting the existing fleet is under intense discussion – mainly in: • • DE – Project “Leiser Rhein”-subsidy for retrofitting up to 5’ 000 wagons, but rigid conditions (success unlikely) • • NL – Subsidies for retrofitted wagons – none granted thus far (unattractive incentives) • Only DBSR committed 1’ 200 wagons so far NL / DE / CH / IT - Rotterdam-Genoa Corridor Study initiated by Ministries of Transport Recast 1 st RP • Article 31 (5): . When charging for the cost of noise effects is allowed by Union legislation for road freight transport, the infrastructure charges shall be modified to take account of the cost of noise effects caused by the operation of the train in accordance with: • Annex VIII (2 c): Differentiation according to the noise emission levels of freight wagons shall allow the payback of investments within a reasonable period for retrofitting wagons with the most economically viable low-noise braking technology available. • Annex VIII (2 d) provides for extented differentiation (time, area, train composition) Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 41
TSI Noise, Noise Differentiated Track Access Charges Noise… - Focus is on existing wagons • Retrofitting is technically feasible but costly • Brake homologation is pre-requisite, today only K blocks and discs homologated • Retrofit costs: • K: 6’ 000– 10’ 000€ / wagon + additional wagon type brake homologation • Disc – 10’ 000 – 15’ 000 € per bogie + wagon type brake homologation • LL – nil € (normal pad replacement) – no wagon-type homologation (LL not homolgated yet) • Operating costs (LCC) • For K blocks and LL blocks costs will be substantially higher due to greater wheel wear • For Disc brakes costs should be similar or less than cast-iron blocks • Open questions / problems: • How to compensate the wagon owner (investor) • Subsidies • Bonus for silent wagons (paid by noisy wagons through higher TAC) • Bonus/Malus • How will a bonus transferred to the wagon owner (administrative costs) • Harmonized EU wide Noise Differentiated Track Access Charge System unlikely to be established Charles-Antoine RIVIERE MVME conference - Technical issues December 7, 2010 42
