|
Improved punctuality
At DSB, a study revealed that average standing times at stations are 2-3
minutes. The company expects to reduce this figure by an average of one minute
by the introduction of the TRIT information system. |

Environmental criteria
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Impacts on energy efficiency:
|
|
|
|
|
Energy efficiency potential for single vehicle: 2 - 5% |
|
|
|
|
Energy efficiency potential throughout fleet: 1 - 2% |
|
|
|
|
|
If a reduced standing time at stations is achieved and the time savings are used for energy efficient driving strategies, there could be energy efficiency effects in the order of up to 5%. |

Economic criteria

|
|
|
|
Vehicle - fix costs: low |
|
|
|
|
|
The vehicle fix costs highly depend on the specific strategy to reduce boarding times in stations. In the case of the TRIT information system deployed at DSB, on-board units were installed in the trains to transmit train information to a central server. The corresponding costs were relatively low (~2000 EURO per vehicle). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vehicle - running costs: significant reduction |

|
Infrastructure - fix costs: low |
|
|
|
|
|
Infrastructure fix costs highly depend on the specific strategy to reduce boarding times at stations. In the case of the TRIT information system deployed at DSB, electronic display boards were installed at stations. Costs were medium (~10.000 EURO per board, several boards per platform). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Infrastructure - running costs: unchanged |

Amortisation: 1 - 2 years |
|
|
|
|
|
If a system like TRIT in Denmark shows the desired effects on punctuality and flexibility of train formation, amortisation will be fast. |
