Presentation title:
Direct Cost in Track Access Charge: the Italian case
Summary:
The new Italian track access system, complying with the Directive EU 34/2012 (Recast), entered into force in January 2018.
In this presentation will be examined the Regulatory Body’s prescriptions regarding the determination and prediction of costs (direct and total) and traffic volumes, two necessary elements for the design of a tariff system, and the solutions adopted by the Italian infrastrucure manager, RFI.
A focus will be placed on the parameters used to determine the unit direct cost (mass, train speed, use of the pantograph) and on the relative wear classes for each parameter.
