CONSULTRANS GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF CONSULTRANS

SERVICES OF CONSULTRANS CONSULTRANS EXPERIENCE WHERE TO FIND US


The way Consultrans understands the consultancy services provided to its clients is by putting together the vision of the different specialists in order to achieve a holistic view of every project we undertake. One of our core areas of expertise, which we also implement in all our projects, is the organization and project management of large multidisciplinary teams. In particular, we have been responsible for the organization and project management of railway projects from its concept and feasibility stages to the latter stages of detailed design and procurement of services.

Feasibility Studies for High Speed Rail Lines

Feasibility studies require strong technical backgrounds on key areas of transportation and the use of economic and financial analysis tools. These feasibility studies are an essential tool to help in the decision making process of public bodies in transport schemes and particularly in high speed rail lines. Consultrans develops these feasibility studies which cover the following aspects:

Project Management. Multidisciplinary Teams

Functionality description of the project (functional description of the rail line, investments, residual value, life, etc).

Evaluation of the demand (passenger and freight) served by the new railway line (with / without infrastructure).

Analysis of the capacity of the rail network for both combined freight and high speed passenger services (available slots).

Cost benefit analysis (external costs, etc).

Cost analysis (rate of return, financial investment, incomes, operation and maintenance costs, etc).




The implementation of a new railway infrastructure for combined traffics (passenger & freight) requires technical capacity to solve different problems in the rail corridor operations. Consultrans has drawn up a technical Plan to develop UIC passenger and freight corridors.

Technical Assistance for Railway Infrastructure Implementation (Passenger & Freight)

Amongst others, the following aspects are significant for the train operational planning:

Maximum axle load. Rolling stock Length of trains (passenger and

freight) Geometrical parameters: slopes (< 15

‰) and gradients Functional parameters: weight and

speed of passenger and freight trains Dimensional parameters: loading

gauge, minimum radius of curvature (determined by the curve resistance and the cross movement of the equipments).

Train stations locations and crossing points. Functional study about the technical compatibility of high cube, and double-

decker transport and passenger trains. Overhead power cable analysis, Signalling, Traffic control system,…

Lower traction costs Higher acceleration Increased safety, etc…

Main targets:




Passenger and Freigth Railway Studies

Taking advantage of the opportunities presented by the liberalization of the railway sector, particularly in goods transport and in the future in passenger transport, Consultrans provides consultancy services to public administrations and other organizations together with private companies designing the best strategies to be put in place in order to take part in the new framework of a liberalized railway market.

Passenger and Freight Demand Studies

One of the core areas of expertise of Consultrans is the diagnosis and analysis of the potential demand that the implementation of new transport infrastructure and services can serve, together with the alterations in transport patterns when such a new offer gets implemented. Our consultancy services range from the undertaking of big travel surveys, identifying travel patterns, together with the estimation of future demand by way of analyzing different variables related to mobility such as population, jobs, level of income, public transport tariffs, etc. In addition the freight rail transport demand can be also analyzed by taking into account the opinion of different key stakeholders in the transport market: railway operators, logistic operators, forwarders, port authorities, freight customers, ...




Training Plans for Railway Personnel

Consultrans has put in place a series of qualification programmes for railway personnel under a specific classification in order to undertake periodical checks of their abilities to undertake their duties. These programmes are oriented to the training of drivers, maintenance personnel, signage personnel, etc.

The qualification and training programme includes, amongst others the following:

General objectives. Material and facilities in use.

General profile of the trainer and number of trainers needed.

Profile of personnel to be trained in each course.

Number and content of tests to be prepared.

Resources to be assigned by activity. Human Resources management.




Competitiveness and Enabling Technologies

Increasing the competitiveness of the rail sector can be achieved by improving product attractiveness for customers and reducing life cycle costs through modern technology on all aspects of railway operation including rolling stock, maintenance procedures, ticketing systems and infrastructure. Consultrans explores IT technologies to develop high-quality services and implementing overall intelligent mobility concepts involving customer information for freight and passenger services, improved accessibility and availability.




Operations Programme

The operations programme describes the services to be provided together with the personnel needs to comply with it. The Operations programme will be coordinated in accordance with the global design of the system (railway line, communications and signalling system). The contents of the plans developed by Consultrans include at least the following:

Operations outline Freight and passenger services definition Characteristics of services System operation Management and update of the operation

Grid of commercial times and total times by type of train service proposed (passenger / freight) and how to provide it with the rolling stock and compositions available

Calendar with types of day (week day / weekend day), frequency, distance travelled by trains

Grid with units-train assigned by week day / weekend day Grid with annual kilometers travelled segregated by type

of day, type of train services, train-kilometers, etc.

These minimum contents will allow the development of the following outputs: speed, slots, travel times, number of trains by direction, sizing up of rolling stock, which are, in turn, dependant on the global design of the system; type of rail, signalling and communications systems used, traction network, etc. With all this information we can establish:




Railway Maintenance Plans

A Maintenance plan has to be based on safe operation principles that allow the compliance with the compromises established with passengers and administration. In order to achieve this efficient Maintenance Programmes are key. The general Maintenance programme to be incorporated to the management of a rail service has four different types of maintenance (routine, predictive, preventive and corrective) that must assure the best conditions of use. The overall goal must be “Zero Breakdowns”. The Maintenance plan develops the systems for: rolling stock, fixed infrastructure, rail infrastructure, electrification, signalling and communication systems, maintenance of depots and stations, amongst others.

COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKCOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK




Marketing and Branding Plan

The marketing policy has to be based on Communication, Information and Customer Service. The commercial policy of a new rail line has to be focused on three basic points that determine the service to be provided:

In order to fulfill these compromises it is necessary to implement a philosophy of permanent and punctual information to the citizen as a potential client and to the passenger as a frequent traveler. Consultrans develops its Marketing and Branding plans for railway services based in the following sub-areas: Service to the COMUNITY mindset

Promotion of rail transport, making it a real and attractive alternative to other travel modes

Consideration and professional service, personalized service to rail passengers

Management and update of the operation

Information Plan Promotion Plan Corporate Identity design Customer Service Plan




Quality Management Plan

The aim of the Quality Management Plan is that the new rail service is provided to a high quality standard in terms of reliability, availability, safety, punctuality, commercial image and efficiency, and that it can be compared with other services at a global level. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to develop and implement a series of procedures to ensure at the start of the service the continuous improvement of its quality both in the operation and maintenance of rolling stock and infrastructure. Consultrans developes a Quality Management Plan for the rail service, with a series of corrective actions to be put in place as and when the Quality of the services falls under certain levels and a quality plan during operations.

Environmental Management Plan

Consultrans develops an environmental plan that takes account of the protection of the Environment and Natural Resources. In particular of non renewable energies. The Plan includes not only all the legal requirements of Environmental Law and Government Policy but also the training of all personnel in the Environmental Policy of the Company, as they are providing a public service on behalf of the administration. An Environmental Management system is established that includes the main activities of passenger and freight transport but also strategic processes such as maintenance, operations management, human resources and direction, developing strategies for dealing with environmental issues on a global scale.




Safety Plan

The Safety Plan is essential in order to guarantee that in all phases (design, construction, operation…), that all actors involved (clients, personnel, subcontractors…) and all elements (rolling stock, infrastructure, operations…) are working towards an Integral Safety System with a business plan in which Health and Safety at Work is at the same level as other business priorities. The activities to be developed will need infrastructure, buildings and equipment which will have a take in the complexity and size of the problems related to fires and other emergencies. Consultrans develops under the Safety Plan the implementation of other sub-plans:

Operations Safety Plan Emergencies Plan Fire Plans Safety protocols and drills Surveillance and safety plan for passengers and freight
