AlpFRail - the method of resolution
Away from axes towards a rail network
In order to enable smooth rail freight traffic in all directions, the old scheme of North-South axes and East-West- routes has to be abandoned.
A look on the map clarifies: The infrastructure already exists in networks, but the traffic is organised only in single axes (for example the Brenner-Axe or the Tauern route)
That has to be changed. Therefore a rethinking by politicians and railway companies is necessary. Not only the national borders in the head of the people have to be abandoned – all involved persons of the project have to consider the alpine countries as a common European space, which can be made accessible only with the aid of a network. At first, in the project AlpFRail all existing freight flows are being analysed and evaluated in simulation processes. On this basis the traffic flows will be optimised and integrated in a network.
In order to provide the customers with all available offers within the rail network and to enable a traffic controlling in cases of bottlenecks, a standard information and quality management system is under development.
Consolidation of all freight flows between the regions
An efficient rail freight traffic can only be achieved by a consolidation of freight flows. Up to now the freight traffic was concentrated highly on single types of goods and on so called racetracks. In the project AlpFRail this historical approach is challenged in general. There are new positive possibilities by the net thinking. That means, amongst others, that the activities expand by mixed trains. For the transalpine traffic this means concretely that also trains are considered to transport semi-trailers and swap trailers together with oversea containers.
