Very ambitious plan 2200 km HSL (300 km/h) (number of HSL later

reduced; design speed reduced to 250 km/h) 1250 km UL (existing lines up to 200 km/h) Modernization of junctions New urban and regional mass transport Four new huge shunting yards for freight trains

HSR AND ENVIRONMENT: CONSTRUCTION OF NEW LINES (1)

Impact on nature:

• geology

• microclimate

• vegetation

• land occupation

• impact on landscape

Targets:

• avoid damages

• reduce damages

• expertise / EIA


7

HSR AND ENVIRONMENT: CONSTRUCTION OF NEW LINES (2)

Linkage with highways:

• Paris-Lille 135 km

• Paris-Lyon 60 km

• Paris-Atlantique 35 km

• Mannheim-Stuttgart 35 km

• Köln-Frankfurt 140 km

• Land occupation for German highways 9,3 ha/km

• HSL Hannover-Würzburg 3,0 ha/km

• HSL Mannheim-Stuttgart 4,0 ha/km

average 3,2 ha/km


8

HSR AND ENVIRONMENT: OPERATION OF NEW LINES

Noise:

• big improvements of noise reduction to the source

• layout away from inhabited areas

• passive noise protection (walls, embankments, tunnels)

Air pollution:

• along electric lines: O

• by production of energy: very low (energy mix!)

• depends on energy consumption

Western Europe (old EU + Norway, CH)

Long distance passenger (more than 80 km) traffic

5 different scenarios:– Basis scenario (this figure)– WE: total 315 bn Pkm

of which 90 bn Pkm by HSR

( 30 % from air, 34 % from private car, 34 % induced traffic, 2 % bus)

– Environment Scenario + 100 bn Pkm for rail

UIC TRAFFIC FORECAST STUDY 2020


3

modal split and trends of traffic are not sustainable

Sustainability only with more rail traffic:– Infrastructure policy (HSL, UL, Freight L)– Reduce distortion effects– Client oriented rail products (i.e.: HSR, CT, Quality, …)

CONCLUSIONS

Good future for HSR
