Abstract:

In 1991 the European Community issued regulations for liberalizing the European railway market by introducing open access. While open access has only been partly implemented so far, the concept of railway path pricing has been well established and is used throughout Europe. Railway path prices should help pay for construction, maintenance and operation of railway infrastructure and help guide transport decisions. Railway path pricing systems are continuously under development and capacity aspects are becoming increasingly important. In this research a capacity based cost allocation method was developed and evaluated using case study data. This showed the impact of three common allocation schemes for apportioning the costs of lost capacity. The paper presents results of this evaluation and outlines whether and how such a capacity-based cost allocation method could be introduced realistically in a path pricing system.
