2 Telematic Applications for Freight

Agenda

• Where is the industry going?

• What is the TAF TSI?

• The role of Standardisation in IT Interoperability

• The Consignment Note Function within the TAF-TSI


Executive Summary

• Big changes are happening in the European rail freight industry brought about through an open market approach.

• One aspect of the open-market approach is the TAF TSI, which is both a compulsory Regulation and also an Opportunity for RUs to create value within the rail business.

TAF TSI


TAF TSI Overview

• Goals– Improve service reliability and efficiency – Help deliver the critical attributes of a successful

freight service - the ability to keep track of consignments & determine when deliveries to customers will be made

• Context– Is an open data layer across all rail actors– Is Compulsory– Became a Regulation on 18th January 2006– Implementation commitment of the rail actors is

documented in the Strategic European Deployment Plan (SEDP), submitted to the EC in January 2007


TAF-TSI Relies on Standardisation

• Improvement in quality of service

• Improved integration for interoperability

• Savings in time and costs

• Operational flexibility to introduce new business processes

Components


The Common Components

• Provide the communication backbone for data exchange in a secure environment

• Common Interface for Secure Communication

• Reference Files for Data Quality and Integration

– LocationIdent– CompanyIdent

• Metadata to define Messaging Standards

Companies

Common Metadata

Private Metadata Locations

Common Interface


The Goals of the Project

• To provide Stakeholders an integration tool that will be easy to integrate into legacy systems and maintain in the future

• To easily create, maintain and distribute Common Metadata (information standards)

• To assure data quality without imposing centralised applications

• To comply with the requirements of the TAF-TSI to communicate via a standardised Common Interface


Metadata

• What is the Common Metadata?– Reference Files (coding structures)

• Locations - CEN• Companies - CEN• Countries – ISO

– Schemas• European Rail Agency Technical

Documents• Shared Schemas

• All is based on current implemented base – but now in XML


Technical Requirements for solution

• Technical solution that is:– Decentralised– Scalable– Based on Open Architecture– Free of Vendor ‘Lock-in’– Free of 3rd Party Licences– Security – using a PKI– Fully Configurable– Supports current industry data

exchange


The Consignment Note Data

• General Requirements– Consignment Note is used for

operational purposes – no legal value– Used for trip planning and execution– Carries subset of data

• Harmonization for the Operational Requirements

– Wagon Event Reporting– Train Preparation– Train Event Report– Delay Cause Reasons– Train Movement and Forecast– Trip Planning and ETA– Declaration of Dangerous Goods
