Part-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) CONCEPT OF RBGC - WP5 CONNECTIVITY PILOT Brief overview 3

Part-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) AIMS OF RAIL BALTICA GROWTH CORRIDOR CONNECTIVITY PILOT Making use of existing EU-Spirit services for Rail Baltica and – Extending service area around the Baltic Sea – Implementing Rail and Ferry information for long distance Integrating additional systems – Warsaw already done (via the CAPRICEE project) – Poznan (via German EFRE project e-KOM) – Lodz/Bialystok (in clarification) – Finnish system (to be clarified) 4

Part-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) EXTENDING EU-SPIRIT SERVICES IN THE RBGC REGION 5 By end of 2011Within RBGC

Part-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) CONNECTIVITY PILOT (1): EXTENDING RAIL SERVICE IN EU-SPIRIT Rail service integration concept – Key element for overall Baltic Sea Region (I) Clarification of system maintanance – UIC/Merits provided by DSB Technical integration into EU-Spirit (central components) Integration of European stations as start and destination Definition of interconnections between public transport and rail Extending existing EU-Spirit systems 6

Part-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) CONNECTIVITY PILOT (2): FERRY SERVICE INTEGRATION IN EU-SPIRIT Ferry service integration concept – Key element for overall Baltic Sea Region (II) – Main prerequisite for Finnish integration in EU-Spirit Clarification of timetable data maintanance and management Technical integration into EU-Spirit (central components) Defining Interconnections – between public transport, rail and ferries – for intermodal information (metadata) Extending existing EU-Spirit systems 7

Part-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) FERRY DATA INTEGRATION (1) VBB in charge of collecting and maintaining data Will be integrated into EU-Spirit long distance server Integrated travels train/ferry possible New transition points at ferry terminals 10

Part-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) FERRY DATA INTEGRATION (2) TECHNICAL DETAILS Maintenance and export of Check-in / Check-out times for ferries Plausibility check for ferry speed Detailed hub modeling for ferry terminals (data to be delivered) Time zone support (ferries from / to Helsinki and Baltic states) Support for latitude/longitude coordinates (needed because of the dimensions of the Baltic Sea area) Next step Import of Check-in and Check-out times for ferries 11

Part-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) FERRY DATA INTEGRATION (3) Rejseplanen – gets ferry data from and updates monthly – VBB is allowed to use Danish ferry data Samtrafiken – 14 lines available from Samtrafiken’s IVU.pool – data exchange agreement VBB <> Samtrafiken in process 12

Part-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) FERRY DATA INTEGRATION (4) WHAT‘S LEFT? 5 lines to be integrated manually lines to be delivered by Samtrafiken – DFDS: Oslo-København (not via Helsingborg) – Scandlines: Helsingborg-Helsingør – Tallink: Stockholm-Mariehamn-Tallinn; Stockholm-Riga – Silja Line: Stockholm-Mariehamn-Turku; Stockholm-Långnäs-Turku; Stockholm-Mariehamn-Helsinki – Viking Line: Stockholm-Mariehamn-Turku; Stockholm-Långnäs-Turku; Stockholm-Mariehamn-Helsinki; Kappelskär-Mariehamn – Destination Gotland: Nynäshamn-Visby; Oskarshamn-Visby – Stena Line: Göteborg-Kiel 13

Part-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) RAILWAY DATA INTEGRATION (1) Merits Railway data – European Railway data from UIC – time tables and stations Merits data converter – data converter needed due to unusual data format – work in progress – minor changes in long distance transition points possible 14

Part-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) RAILWAY DATA INTEGRATION (2) Timeline – January 2012 : Test system with Merits data ready – March 2012 : Integrate ferry data into Merits test system Next steps – providing list of ferry harbours – Ferry harbours to be included into transition point list – Partners have to check which ferry harbours should be used as Transition points 15

Part-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) ADDITIONAL FEATURES IN EU-SPIRIT Direct connecntion preference – always tries to find direct flights additionally – long-distance server changed in July 2011 – automatically used 16

Part-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) NEXT STEPS within WP5 17

Part-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) INTEGRATION OF FINNISH SYSTEM INTO EU-SPIRIT 18

Part-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) NEXT STEPS / TODOS 2012 Clarification: Which Finnish system(s) should be integrated? – hsl.fi or matka.fi / journey.fi? – other? Additional RBGC project work – Compatibility check of national travel information systems – Identifying relevant stakeholders for setting up a stakeholder network – Demonstration Berlin-Poznan-Warsaw for EURO
