7. Final proposal
TIS Change control board asked for general IM opinion by consulting all necessary experts within IM company (e.g. marketing, legal experts, etc.).
*DB Netz: It has to be ensured that the RU are informed and warned about data quality issues and learn which areas are problematic in this regard. This can be done during the kick-off workshops with the RU. DB Netz is not willing to answer requests that result from analysis with insufficient data quality. Questions regarding RNE reports shall be handled and steered by RNE.
*ProRail: Although we think it is a good thing to give acces to OBI to RU’s, we think the price will be too high for most of the RU’s and they just stick to their national reports
The GA is asked to approve the offering of reporting services to RUs (in line with defined the commercial conditions and pricing model) and mandate the RNE Performance Management working group to develop RU-oriented reports (together with RUs).
Question asked
Yes No
Do you support the idea to offer the RUs direct access to OBI, where they can execute the reports about their trains?
ZSR, HZI, SZDC, DB Netz; OBB, ProRail
Do you agree with proposed commercial conditions and pricing model?
