A survey of railway market organization and regulation

Projekt:

Samhällsekonomiskt effektiv fördelning av järnvägskapacitet

Sammanfattning:
In the last few decades, many railway markets (especially in Europe) have been
restructured to allow competition between different operators. This survey studies
how competition has been introduced and regulated in a number of different
countries around the world. In particular, we focus on a central part of market
regulation specific to railway markets, namely the capacity allocation process.
Conflicting capacity requests from different train operators need to be regulated
and resolved, and the efficiency and transparency of this process is crucial.
Related to this issue is how access charges are constructed and applied. Several
European countries have vertically separated their railway markets, separating
infrastructure management from provision of train services, thus allowing several
train operators to compete with different passengers and freight services.
However, few countries have so far managed to create efficient and transparent
processes for allocating capacity between competing train operators.
