Summary

Machine-generated summary

The German Centre for Rail Traffic Research is procuring research and consultancy services for a project to design and support a measurement network for the German rail network. Using measuring stations, the network is to systematically collect data on train movements on main lines and make it usable for further use. The project will prioritise previously identified use cases according to technical, regulatory and organisational feasibility, derive their concrete implementation, and draft a concept for an extended technical test and an operational pilot measurement network, including addressing legal and organisational challenges. It also covers stakeholder management and internal and external communication of results, with the concept adjusted as needed during the pilot phase.

Description

In diesem Projekt soll ein Messnetz für das deutsche Schienennetz konzipiert und betreut werden, welches mithilfe von Messstationen systematisch Daten zu Zugbewegungen an deutschen Hauptstrecken erheben und für die anschließende Weiterverwendung nutzbar machen soll. Ausgehend von den technischen Möglichkeiten sowie rechtlichen und organisatorischen Randbedingungen wird ein Messkonzept für ausgewählte Anwendungsfälle erarbeitet, welches in einem nachfolgenden Projekt implementiert werden soll. Die Projektarbeiten beinhalten ebenfalls das Stakeholdermanagement und interne und externe Kommunikation der Projektergebnisse während der Erarbeitung des Messkonzepts sowie der Umsetzung des Pilotmessnetzes. Die Umsetzung des Messkonzepts und die Pilotphase des Messnetzes werden ebenfalls in Bezug auf rechtliche und organisatorische Fragestellungen und das Messkonzept bei Bedarf angepasst. Mit diesem Projekt soll ein Messnetz für das deutsche Schienennetz konzipiert werden, um mithilfe von Messstationen systematisch Daten zu Zugbewegungen an deutschen Hauptstrecken zu erheben und für die anschließende Weiterverwendung nutzbar zu machen. Für die Entwicklung des Messkonzepts soll die Vielzahl der bisher ermittelten Anwendungsfälle unter Berücksichtigung der technischen, regulatorischen und organisatorischen Machbarkeit anhand nachvollziehbarer Kriterien weiter priorisiert werden. Auf dieser Grundlage soll das Projekt die konkrete Umsetzung der priorisierten Anwendungsfälle ableiten und den Entwurf einer späteren Implementierung eines Pilotmessnetzes entwickeln. Dazu ist ein Konzept für einen ausgeweiteten technischen Test sowie für ein operationalisiertes Messnetz zu erstellen. Etwaige organisatorische und rechtliche Herausforderungen für den Testbetrieb und den Messnetzaufbau (in Form eines Konzepts) sind umfänglich darzulegen und strategische Lösungsansätze dafür strategisch herzuleiten. Darüber hinaus soll mitgedacht werden, wie sich die erhobenen Zugdaten langfristig mit Datensätzen anderer nationaler und internationaler EVU sowie anderer Stakeholder verknüpfen lassen. Dabei ist die Einbindung in internationale Systeme und Initiativen zur Standardisierung der WTMS-Datenerhebung zu beachten. Auch etwaige Normierungen und Gütekriterien für die Erhebung der Daten sollen mitgedacht werden. Der Auftragnehmer soll das Projekt eineinhalb Jahre nach Abschluss von Teilleistung 1 bis 5 weiter begleiten, um den Aufbau des Messsystems zu unterstützen. Bei Ausübung der in Teilleistung 8 beschriebenen Optionen wird die Projektbegleitung während des dort bestimmten Optionszeitraums fortgeführt. Während dieses Zeitraumes steht der AN zur Verfügung, um kurzfristig auf Anfragen und Herausforderungen zu reagieren.

Expected award price

likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €353,969
€336,271 to €353,969

Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 99% of their published estimate, half of them between 95% and 100%, based on 63 awards of the last 3 years.

Each award is compared with the estimate of the same lots, framework agreements excluded. A published estimate may include options and renewals, so an award under it is not always a discount.
