7 In 2005 the Austrian Federal Railways asked UBIMET t implement a natinwide meterlgical mnitring system

8 ÖBB infra:wetter GOALS OF THE RAIL WEATHER INFORMATION & WARNING SYSTEM Highly precise weather frecasts alng the railway lines Severe Weather Warnings fr the safety f railway peratin Exact snw frecasts fr the planning f winter services INCREASE OF SAFETY MORE NETWORK AVALABILITY COST REDUCTIONS & EFFICIENCY RELIABLE WINTER OPERATION 1 st year: rescue f trains befre flding

13 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 24H SURVEILLANCE OF THE WHOLE NETWORK Warnings Alerts fr critical track sectins

14 Natural hazards - status qu WEATHER WARNING SECTIONS The ÖBB rail weather system is nt nly used fr peratinal planning, but als fr safety issues (natural hazards) At the mment very critical track sectins are declared as WEATHER WARNING SECTIONS If a certain severe weather warning is issued r e.g. sme heavy rain expected, there is an individual special peratin checklist in effect fr every track sectin! An mre autmatic apprach is planned Cmplete natural hazards mapping

15 The new natural hazards management FOR THE WHOLE NETWORK

16 The new natural hazards management NETWORK WIDE EVALUTAION OF RISKS AND SECURITY DEFICITES Extreme Security Deficit Cnstructin Measures High Security Deficit Alert Systems 16

17 Risk mapping f the netwrk BASE FOR THE NEW NATURAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

18 Crridr infrmatin WEATHER ALERTS FOR NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL ROUTES

19 Internatinal apprach TRANS NATIONAL WEATHER ALERT SYSTEM FOR CORRIDORS In cperatin with internatinal rganizatins, we wuld like t prepare an mre trans-natinal apprach fr natural hazards management, rad & rail weather frecasts and alert systems. It is a huge advantage fr crridr managers t prvide cstumers with risk frecasts, e.g. when large meterlgical inducted delays are expected (flding, snwstrm, freezing rain,...) Sme weather related prblems have their rts utside f the wn netwrk

20 TEM/TER Crridr Weather Alert System UBIMET suggests ne pilt prject fr a trans-natinal rad & rail weather infrmatin system. Gaining experience in implementing trans-natinal nline platfrms Evaluatin f advantages and disadvantages feasibility study Multi-Language settings and standardized interfaces fr the exchange f infrmatin Implementatin f lcal and natinal infrmatin int the internatinal system (e.g. expected clsures due avalanches, flding, strms, blizzards,...)
