•  2007 SSAB started put tags on approx. 400 Train Cars. –  Banverket installed RFID-readers at Sävast, Koler och Tväråbäck

Background

Objective –  A common RFID-vision and strategy for Banverket concerning

all sorts of services and requirements

The next step Feasability Study

•  Support Intermodal transport •  Track and Trace Vehicles and Goods througout Europe •  Lowering transport costs •  Sustainability •  Chaging the whole buiness model (The operators will pay based of

their actual use of the railway not based on what they report or their plans)

RFID-Identification General Objectivs

•  60 - 70 % of freight railroad cars in Sweden are from another European country

•  European standard for RFID-system

•  Standard for information exchange

Railroad Traffic in Europe

•  Uppgrade TSD/TSI technial specifications for operations (TSD/TSI), TSD/TSI are standardisation documents in the Railroad Sector

–  Mandatory with RFID-tags on Railroad Cars

–  Upgrade the standard to 18000-6 C – air protocol

–  Develop a standard data and information protocol

A standard for RFID-enabled identification of Railroad Cars

RFID-detector Reader Axis sensor

- recognise vehicles without RFID-tags - speed - direction - distance between axes

.    The  Individual    Assets  Referene  is  based  on  the  Railroad    Car  Vehicle  Iden@fier    

The  Authorised  Railroad  Vehicle  Ins@tu@onal  Object  

•  The  Car  Vehicle  Iden@fier  is  based  on  the  Standardised  European  Vehicle  Iden@fier  and  is  12  posi@ons  long    

•  It  represents    the  ins@tu@onal  object    ”Authorised  Railroad  Vehicle”    •  Its  instan@a@on  is  based  on  European  EU  statues  that  the  describes  

the  rules  that  make  them  valid  

•  In  Sweden  these  ins@tu@onal  objects  are  instan@ated  by  Transportstyrelsen  and  kept  in  the    Swedish  Vehicle  Registry.    

•  The  object  and  its  iden@fier  has  a  pragma@c  meaning  because  it  represents  an  number  of    rights  and  obliga@ons    

•  In  a  couple  of  years  Physical  Railroad  Vehicles  that  are  not  registered  in  one  of  the  European  Vehicle  Registers  will  not  be  allowed  to  be  used  on  the  railroads  in  Europe

•  Pro-active maintenance based on detector information (huge costs) •  Lowering costs for infrastructure maintenance (huge costs) •  Less disturbences •  Effektivare range (do not know the correct term in English) •  Correct train composition

RFID-identification and Detector Information

•  Create an infrastructure of RFID-detectors (500-700)

•  Procurement 2010

•  Limited deployment 2010

•  Full deployment 2011- 2013
