3. SIAFI, Paris, 26-04-2007 3 It is a data set of masonry arch bridges. It contains: Characteristics and photos of masonry arch bridges; Recommendations for identifying defects and for associating types of defects to different methods of detection (NDT or SDT) indicating the probability of defects being detected by the method used; Case studies; Glossary of terms; Database of Experts. The associated web site also provides UIC users with: General information on the project, presentations and related events; Collection of masonry arch bridge-related publications; Links to other relevant web pages; Discussion Forum and Mailing service; Answers to Frequently Asked Questions. 1.Database for Masonry Arch Bridges : http://masonry.uic.asso.fr/ http://masonry.uic.asso.fr/

SIAFI, Paris, 26-04-2007 9 2.ERNST Database: http://ernst.uic.asso.fr/http://ernst.uic.asso.fr/ It was established in 2000 to manage the existing UIC telephone network while preparing its migration to the future integration of the fixed and mobile railway telephone networks (GSM-R) in the International Railway Telecommunication Network (IRTN). It consists of SQL tables containing Public Telephone Network (PTN) code ranges with corresponding Railway Telephone Network (RTN) subscriber numbers ranges. The ERNST database contains the list of most important town (area) codes in public telephone network and the appropriate town (area) codes in the railway telephone network (conversion tables). From 2006 it also contains the Inventory of International Telecommunication Circuits (TELCO), implements the GSM-R Numbering Plans into the data base and offer tools for the IRTN optimisation.

11. SIAFI, Paris, 26-04-2007 11 Database structure Information per railway company related to: Mobility & Accessibility (including line lengths, number of switches, length of electrified main tracks, number of passenger stations, passenger and freight transport volumes). Asset (including annual tamping, grinding, ballast cleaning, renewal of rails, sleepers and ballast). Financial aspects (including annual labour costs, maintenance and renewal costs). 3.LICB Database Participants : ASSET UTILISATION MOBILITY & ACCESSIBILITY FINANCIAL EFFECTIVNESS Offer in passenger rail traffic Train frequency Life-cycle costs KPI Improve infrastructure performances Identify cost drivers

12. SIAFI, Paris, 26-04-2007 12 Train frequency differs much more for passenger than for freight traffic - 2005

16. SIAFI, Paris, 26-04-2007 16 Created in 2005 mainly to serve the ERIM Project, it originated from UIC geographical infrastructure database EurailDataMap 1999. It records information on railway lines mentioned in the Annex H of CCS TSI of the Trans-European conventional line system [C(2006) 964 final] and other lines on specific requests from UIC Members. At the present time about 1100 line sections for a total length of 50 000 km in 32 European countries are recorded in the Database. A double set of data shows figures for current state and predictions for 2020. Geographical thematic maps are produced with the use of MapInfo software. 4.ERIM Database Database structure Information per line section Two data sets: for 2007 and 2020 Information related to: Infrastructure details (including signalling systems, ETCS and GSM-R) Capacity assessment (including lines category, maximum trains length and speed, number of traction units operating) Business picture (including international traffic)

18. SIAFI, Paris, 26-04-2007 18 ERIM Database – possible outputs (2) Domestic and international passenger and freight traffic in 2004 and 2020 Single track line sections with 2006 theoretical line capacity between 100 and 150 trains per day
