Railfreight Day December 10, 2020
Delivering capacity and efficiency – the
role of digital solution
Klassifikation: TLP gelb (Adressatenkreis)
ONE COMMON VISION
WE NEED MORE RAIL FREIGHT.
Rail is 6 times more energy efficient, emits 9 times less CO2 and
reduces the number of road casualties significantly.

6European rail freight requires more train paths, higher quality and easier access to reach Green Deal goals
Rail freight requirements
Europe to become first CO2-
neutral continent by 2050
-50% CO2-savings in 2030 vs.
2019 targeted
Modal shift from road to rail
expected to contribute
substantially
RFF ambition of 30% modal shift
in 2030
Green Deal Requirements on infrastructure capacity management
More train path capacity in order to accommodate
the aspired growth on rail
Better train path quality in order to reduce cost
of rail freight operations, esp. cross-border*
Easier and harmonized access to train paths in
order to improve flexibility of rail vis-à-vis road
*6% travel time reduction according to DB Netz use case
7
Additional* capacity gain on existing infrastructure
Better integration of Passenger and freight planning
leading to less conflicts
Train path capacity
Benefits of DCM for rail freight
DCM supports these requirements …
Train path quality
• 15% better utilization of drivers and locomotives due to optimized round trips and reduced synchronization times at borders
• 10% energy savings due to less energy-consuming stops for rail freight
• Lower IT-investments due to standardized interfacing
Access
More transparency on available capacity
Significant increase in flexibility through shortened path
construction process (<3 min for ad-hoc traffic**)
ultimately leading to competitive order time
*+4% according to DB Netz use case
** according to DB Netz use case

… translating into financial impact
DCM benefits for IMs
… and provides substantial benefits for IMs atthe same time
Full transparency on capacity for
multi-annual capacity modelling and
rolling planning
Replacement of slow made-to-order
processes with digitized,
industrialized processes
Step-change in process quality in
terms of conflict elimination
(e.g., infra works), speed, etc.
Easy allocation of integrated train
path including international
harmonisation
Can be deployed on exisiting IT-
legacy systems
New business capabilities …
Increase in revenues through additional
capacity
Higher efficiency due to automatic time
tabling and train path assignment
Faster ROI than investment in physical
infrastructure
Allows for more efficient investment

DCM overview
DCM deploys changes in timetable procedure and cutting edges algorithms across all planning horizons
Basic elements as digital infrastructure representation and optimisation algorithms to be deployed across all
planning horizons from ad-hoc requests to multi-annual planning
Example: Click&Ride APP
10
Proposal for roll-out of DCM
DCM shall be developed across Europe in 2 mainphases
Timing ~ 2025 2030 latest
Introduce DCM in TTR first mover countries
Apply DCM optimization logic for entire network in each country
Progressive roll out across Europe
DCM rolled out in all EU countries to ensure integrated process across Europe
Phase 1: Staged implementation of DCM Phase 2: Full implementation in SERA
11
Efficiency of DCM
DCM is a highly efficient infrastructure investment
ROUGH ESTIMATE
1 Current European Railway net: 270,000 km, cost for additional capacity: 3 Mio. EUR/km2 The study “TTR migration concept and IT landscape” refers to 675 Mio. EUR, including costs for countries, which are not part of the first wave
3 Higher maintenance costs for physical infrastructure not accounted for
4 IMs with little incentive to invest own money
High efficiency of DCM investment
in bn EUR, initial investment for capacity increase
of 4% on 50% of the network1
~0.5

New physicalinfrastrcture
DCM3
-97%
Investment of approx. 0,5 bn EUR required2
DCM can be viewed as capacity expansion
Financing by EC/national governments should
thus be feasible (case example Germany)4
Green Deal financing targeted by rail sector
Faster payback due to faster roll out
Funding
investment should be funded by EC/national Governments on the basis of deployment commitment
