МЕЖДУНАРОДНАЯ КОНФЕРЕНЦИЯ ОСЖД 10-11 июня 2008, Одесса, Украина 4 / 25 European legislation Current EU legislative acts : • Directive 2001/16/EU on interoperability of Trans-European common railway systems • EC REGULATION No 62/2006 as of 23 December 2005 regarding technical specification for interoperability, connected with Technical Specification for Interoperability/Telematic Applications for Freight - TSI TAF… Section 4: – 4.2.6 Location of train – 4.2.7 Sending of information on estimation time of changearrival (ETI/ETA) – 4.2.8 Wagon movement • Connection between railway and infrastructure manager • Connection between railways, involved in transport process • ETA for wagon should be sent to final railway. Functions of TSI TAF:  Tracing cargo wagons and trains;  Sorting and the system of wagons positions in the train;  booking of way for cargo trains;  Connection with other cargo systems;  Issuance of electronic shipping documents TAF TSI is the mandatory document является and provides railway enterprises with possibility to offer new services to their customers– tracing wagons on European territory. » There is no obligation to trace the movements in on-line regime » Railway carriers have no obligations to provide the information on consignment location to their customers МЕЖДУНАРОДНАЯ КОНФЕРЕНЦИЯ ОСЖД 10-11 июня 2008, Одесса, Украина 5 / 25 Methods of cargo tracing on railways A.

The information can be read and recorded when moving. • Modern tags provide possibility to read/record information in high speed of wagon movement,high speed of information transmission and memory size, possibility of safe programming безопасного программирования “on-the-fly”.

There are several types of requests: • Current wagon location (station) • Event with the wagon or change of its status • Wagon’s history Request by: • Wagon number • Consignment number МЕЖДУНАРОДНАЯ КОНФЕРЕНЦИЯ ОСЖД 10-11 июня 2008, Одесса, Украина 10 / 25  Railways systems Europe – current situation Systems, providing the information about wagon’s location Czech (ČD | Cevis), Austria (RailCargo | EDI), Finland (VRCargo | Seruanta), France (SNCF FRET), Italy (Trenitalia Cargo), Hungary (MAV CARGO | Szirinfo), Germany (Railion | EDI), Slovakia (ZSSK Cargo | ISP), Serbia (Serbian Railways | YURAIL), Ukraine, Russia (wagon model) Systems, providing the information about wagon’s location, but without possibility of further handling Bulgaria (BDZ | SPD), Belgium (B-Cargo), Croatia (HZ Cargo), Romania (CFR Marfa), Slovenia (SZ | extranet) Systems, where the information on wagons location is closed for customers Denmark, Luxemburg , Portugal, Switzerland Albania, Norway, Poland Countries without wagons tracing systems No information about the situation in countries Macedonia, Netherlands , Greece, Spain, Sweden, great Britain МЕЖДУНАРОДНАЯ КОНФЕРЕНЦИЯ ОСЖД 10-11 июня 2008, Одесса, Украина 11 / 25  Railways systems A. Systems of informational exchange between railways ISR International Service Reliability New initiative of European railways for collection and exchange of information about movement of loaded and empty wagons in international connection. The system is now in development. No direct approach for customers. USE-IT Uniform System for European Intermodal Tracking and tracing USE-IT Applications are not the new informational system, but allow to use the existing railways systems. It allows tracing of container trains only. B. Systems for collection of railways information ESY ELOG’s ESY Monitoring – this program product is based on web-technologies, used for wagons tracing in international traffic; it provides 24-hour to the information about wagons and allows to trace wagons all over Europe, due to the export of files from the existing national railway systems or other external positioning systems, such as GPS, GSM or RFI, in different formats (XML, electronic tables, text files etc). It allows tracing of specified groups of wagons, useful for large carriers.
