11th Southeast European Freight Forwarders and Logistics Providers Congress «SOUTHEAST EUROPEAN INTERMODALITY» 16th & 17th May, 2013 Assessment and future challenges for Pan-European Corridors IV, V, and VII Dr. Vasileios Zeimpekis Design, Operations & Productions Systems Lab Department of Financial & Management Engineering University of the Aegean vzeimp@fme.aegean.gr Agenda • The GIFT project: Main aim & objectives • Assessment Methodology • List of Key Performance Indicators • Assessment results • Proposals for green intermodal freight transport in the S.E.E. region Main aim & objectives The main aim of the current project is: • to map, analyze, and evaluate the status of the transport sector in the GIFT transport network, – propose new policies and strategies in infrastructure, processes, assets, ICT, legislation, norms and harmonization/ standardization issues, and – Develop tools & methodologies for CO2 emissions monitoring – . …..in order to promote innovative green intermodal freight transport corridors. • Main objectives – Identify current status of the freight transport sector – Improve interoperability and intermodality of freight transport on land, IWW, and sea – Identify green corridors in the SEE region by promoting technical innovation and a shift towards the least polluting and most efficient modes of transport – Develop an ICT tool for CO2 footprint monitoring & certification – Develop agreements & MoUs on multi-modal connections Assessment methodology o Use of KPIs for the assessment of the corridors based on 6 categories: service quality & efficiency, infrastructure, environmental sustainability, ICT, and Transport market/ Business players o Collection of data from : o EUROSTAT, EL.STAT., OECD o Operational data from Key players /stakeholders from S.E.E. region o EU reports and National Transport studies/roadmaps o Data from NGOs and Int. Organizations (π.χ. W.H.O) o Studies from consulting companies (McKinsey, Deloitte) o Use of transportation models for the calculation of results in Corridor Level Categorization of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Service Quality Service Efficiency • Relative unit cost • Transport time • Frequency of service Infrastructure • • • • • Refueling stations Infrastructure charges Number of accidents Electrification Capacity utilization • • • • Delay risk Cargo loss Cargo damage Reliability Transport marketBusiness players • Corridor Competitiveness • Corridor Freight market Environmental Sustainability • Noise Protection • Polluter CO2 • Polluter SO2 ICT • Cargo monitoring Assessment Results (1/3) Service Efficiency Corridor IV • Relative unit cost Road Rail 0.040 0.033 Road Rail 0.048 0.031 IWW 0.02 Road Rail 1.49 1.47 Road Rail 1.40 1.83 IWW 10 Road Rail 30 9 Road Rail 50 105 IWW 2.51 (EUR/ton-Km) • Transport time (h/100Km) • Frequency of service (no. of services/week) Corridor VII Corridor V 1 Romania is not included Service Quality • Delay risk (min/100Km) • Cargo loss Scale (1-4) • Cargo damage Scale (1-4) • Reliability (%) Road Rail 25.74 25.82 Road Rail 10.48* 50.31 IWW 93.392 Road Rail 2 1 Road Rail 1* 1 IWW 13 Road Rail 2 1 Road Rail 2 1 IWW 13 Road Rail 96.5 92.9 Road Rail 98.4 74.6 IWW 91.32 * Italy is not included 2 3 Hungary and Romania not included Serbia is not included Assessment results (2/3) Infrastructure • Refueling stations Road 0.06 Road • Infrastructure charges Road (€/km) Rail (€/ton-km) 0.000 0.003 Road (€/km) Rail(€/ton-km • Number of accidents Road (serious) Road (non-serious) Rail (serious) Rail (non-serious) 0.11 0.38 0.04 0.19 • Capacity utilization Road (HCM)* Rail (%) • Electrification Rail (stations/Km) (%) Corridor VII Corridor V Corridor IV 0.09 IWW N/A 0.1371 0.0011 IWW (€/ton-km) 0.01 Road (serious) Road (non-serious) Rail (serious) Rail (non-serious) 0.001 1.13 0.001 1.65 IWW (serious) IWW (non-serious) 0.001 0.002 2 44.1 Road (HCM)* Rail (%) 2 56.52 IWW (%) 40.32 89.3 Rail 88.93 IWW N/A (%) * HCM-> Road capacity expressed in HCM level of service (A, B, C, D, E, F) / 2: describes reasonable free-flow operations ICT • Cargo monitoring Road Rail 36.0 21.2 1 Italy is not Included 2 Slovakia is not included 3 Slovakia and Croatia are included Road Rail --- 1 Serbia and Hungary are not included 2 Serbia is not included Road Rail --- Assessment results (3/3) Environmental Sustainability • Noise Protection (Scale 1-5) • Polluter CO2 (gr/tn-Km) • Polluter SO2 (gr/tn-Km) Corridor IV * : Scale 2 -> 20% - 40% protected population along the section Slovakia is included Italy is not included and Slovakia is included 2 1 Slovakia is included Road Rail 2* 2* Road Rail 31 22 IWW 41 Road Rail 72.76 19.66 Road Rail 68.64 17.65 IWW 56.961 Road Rail 0.09 0.06 Road Rail 0.09 0.09 IWW 0.251 Transport marketBusiness players • Corridor Competitiveness Corridor VII Corridor V 1 1 Rail Italy is not included 1 Romania is not Included 3 Rail 51 IWW 7 32 63.3 Rail 61.01 IWW 57.81 (no. of providers) • Corridor Freight market (%) of annual turnover that comes from international transport Road Rail Proposals for green intermodal freight transport in the S.E.E. region Infrastructure / State • • • • • Finalization of the electrification of the rail network Simplification of custom formalities and minimization of borders-crossing time Establishment of logistics areas (Greece) Creation of new logistics hubs / freight villages that support combined transport operations Creation of a stable tax environment Environment • • • Financial incentives for new generation truck fleets (EURO V) Green certification and measurement of carbon footprint Shift to co-modality Stakeholders / Transport market • Increase vehicle utilization by: o Decreasing the proportion of empty running miles Increase authorized vehicle weights (44Tn trucks) Deliver only when a truck is fully loaded o Increasing the payloads Flexibility in pick-up & delivery time windows Cooperation between logistics service providers • Improve scheduling & routing ICT • • Use of integrated information systems • Track & trace • Proof of Delivery (PoD) Rail network: Introduction of ERTMS Dr. Vasileios Zeimpekis (vzeimp@fme.aegean.gr) Design, Operations, & Production Systems Lab University of the Aegean Green Intermodal Freight Transport (GIFT) project http://www.gift-project.eu
