104 Timetable affecting errors Performance level crossing: timetable affecting errors function repair time [hour] Number of errors Average function repair time [hour] Average number of errors Error caused by technique 7, ,258 0,200 Error caused by third parties 30, ,503 0,667 Error caused by wheather 7, ,633 0,067 Non-timetable affecting errors Performance level crossing: non-timetable affecting errors function repair time [hour] Number of errors Average function repair time [hour] Average number of errors Non-timetable affecting errors 731, ,849 4,167 For underpasses in comparable situations (12 found) no timetable affecting errors are registered in the last 3 years. For non-timetable affecting errors no reliable data was found. Based on every hour four passenger trains and one freight train per direction this leads to delay and cancellation of trains. Knowing it is not correct we simplified the model by assuming for this study that a timetable affecting error only leads to cancellation of trains. Performance data All Level Comparable crossings Comparable Level crossing average Tunnel Netherlands Number of hours not available (due to errors) Number of cancelled passenger trains Number of delayed freight trains Safety: Like performance also safety on a level crossing near a station has its own specific key figures. We searched for safety figures for comparable level crossings, see next table: Safety data Deaths / year Seriously injured / year Slightly injured / year Level crossing 0,044 0,022 0,00 Underpass Cost data: For the two variants the cost data is shown in the next table: Cost data Level crossing Tunnel Comment Total Investment (including station and perron) Investment (excluding station and perron) Social costs for train free period during realization phase Figures can vary per Infra Manager

105 Cost data Level crossing Tunnel Comment 1 period of 29 hours in weekend period of 52 hours in weekend Preventive maintenance cost per year Periodic replacements level crossing Roaddeck (40 year) Replace track (20 year) Half barrier (25 year, 6 pcs) Barrier motor (15 year, 6 pcs) Maintain track (15 year) Maintenance tunnel Small maintenance (1 year) Large inspection (10 year) Painting (15 year) Large construction repairs (40 year) Social cost for road transport Cost for safety: Deaths Seriously injured Slightly injured Economic value of delayed freight train per hour Cost for repair in case of errors Cost for cancelled train on track Eindhoven Weert: Week days: based on 263 passengers per train Weekend days: based on 124 passengers per train Figures can vary per Infra Manager Figures can vary per Infra Manager Based on the performance, safety and cost data it is possible to make a complete RAMS / LCC analyses using the methodology shown in this guideline. LCC: Next table shows the LCC costs using Net Present Value (interest + inflation = 4 %),: LCC Level crossing Tunnel Net Present Value 30 year Net Present Value 50 year Net Present Value 100 year Including all the social cost benefits the total costs during the lifetime using Net Present Value (interest + inflation = 4 %) are: LCC + social cost benefits Level crossing Tunnel Net Present Value 30 year Net Present Value 50 year Net Present Value 100 year So based on all these data the decision for a variant can be made. But be aware that RAMS / LCC is not the only parameter the project managers uses to choose for a variant!
