5 / Strategic Targets Infrastructure Operations OeBB
Target network 2025+ represents a capable infrastructure for more trains, passengers, goods, and synchronised traffic.
Key Figures – Network 2012
5000 km of railroads
6500 trains per day
224 million passengers per year
113 million tons of goods per year
142 million km covered by trains
Key Figures – Network 2025+(according to traffic forecasts)
~ 4800 km of railroads
~ 9000 trains per day
~ 300 million passengers per year
~ 142 million tons of goods per year
~ 198 million km covered by trains
Reduced headway times - Efficient use of infrastructure Higher train speeds Synchronised traffic with well linked connections Energy efficiency

9 / Longterm Investment Strategy for Integrated Operations
2032 Objective: The operation control-strategy has
been implemented for the whole network
• the implementation is linked to projects within the future network 2025+
2012 The operation control-strategy is being implemented
• 1 integrated traffic management centre• 5 operation control centres
2005 Decision to implement the operation strategy at ÖBB
In 2032• approx. 1,700 employees
in network operations• Approx. 94 staffed local
operation sites• Approx. 145,000 Train km
covered per employee
In 2012• 3,170 employees
in network operations• 310 staffed local operation
sites • 51,000 Train km covered
per employee
Initial Position• 4,455 employees
in network operations• 530 staffed local operation
sites • 37,000 Train km covered per
employee

13 / OeBB‘s Operations Experience - Major Achievements
Significant travel time reduction: Vienna – Salzburg 2:20 h
2013: 1 Million Train KMs reached
Up to 270 trains/day with
speeds up to 230 km/h
2013: less than 200 delayminutes/month caused by ETCS

o Involve experts with practical background from the very beginning
o Set a clear target with corresponding timeline and let them work – without intervention!
o Cooperate with suppliers as close as you can
o Necessity of clear and detailed operational and technical specifications
o Supplementary integrations lab for early system testing
