1. PaP Publication strategy TT2019 – Combined PaP
RU AG, PCS CCB

2. Current situation & possible solution

3. Problems
PaP calendars are not stable during the Harmonization and Path Elaboration phase
Publication of calendar is often useless and a week later presents wrong information to the customer
Calendar is changed in the national system
Calendar is blocked in PCS
Combined PaP/Tailor-made solution
Aim: cover the not available days with automatically created subsidiary timetables (managed by PCS)
Problems of the feature:
Due to first point above the originally available days are not available anymore
RU cannot edit the managed by PCS timetables
Hard to understand the logic and quite difficult to manage them as a user
IM cannot delete the managed by PCS timetables
IM doesn’t edit the managed by PCS timetables, even if they could do that. They rather create their own national subsidiaries
Unreadable offers: main timetable, managed by PCS subs, IM created national subs, comments, contradictions, overlapping

4. Solution Empty Envelope Concept would solve the problem
Multiple PaPs per section is supported
RFC could make pre-allocation or request tailor-made subsidiary per PaPs in each subsidiary
Calendar handling (split & join days) is much easier among subsidiary timetables
Target release date November 2018 → TTP 2020
Temporary solution is necessary
Without development it cannot be solved, however RNE would like to solve it as optimal as possible
Trying use elements that might be useful long-term too

5. Solution
Solution that would be ready for TT2019 publication and usage:
RFCs publish all running days in the PaP and mark those that will be likely solved as tailor- made*
No need for combined PaP/Tailor-made solution as all day marked in the PaP calendar.
*RFC 7 doesn’t support the idea of the whole calendar publication, but support the second point in order not to block other RFCs
Result
RUs can place request on any of the days
No managed by PCS subsidiary will be created
In case RUs need re-routing, they can make subsidiary timetable same as they do it today
RFCs can pre-allocate or request tailor-made PaP by PaP
IMs can create national subsidiaries for deviations same as they to it today
Please find the an example for better explanation on the following slides

Technically all days are PaPs for PCS. Development is necessary for flagging and visualization.

11. Draft Offer Publication Request Pre-Booking Path Elab. Draft Offer
What will likely happen with the clean PaPs (PaP 2 and PaP 3)?
IM might publish subsidiary also for the clean PaP days
Still better option than uploading PDFs
Still easier to compare the request to the offer as there won’t be any managed by PCS subsidiary timetable
Offer:
Days that are covered by subsidiaries: offer in the subsidiary
Days that are not covered by subsidiaries: offer in the main timetable (main route), everything else should be only deviation. Technically PaPs are only in the main timetable.
Request for the IMs:
For better understanding, if subsidiary is really necessary, then please prepare that for your whole network:
Origin – Handover
Handover – Handover
Handover – Destination
As you do it already today.
