“…In particular, in the paper by Baron [10], an analysis was made of the regulations concerning the operation of terminals, as well as the systems for charging their services. It should be noted that in accordance with the studies carried out in [8], in many countries of the European Union, to date, the services of service facilities are still not separated from the services of the minimum access package. In some cases, in accordance with [11], this problem is even the subject of litigation.…”

Over the past 31 years since the adoption of Directive 91/440/ EEC, a significant number of publications have appeared de voted to the analysis and generalization of the experience of competition in the market for the transportation of goods and passengers by rail, as well as the interaction between carriers, the infrastructure manager and regulators.…”

Purpose. Improving the efficiency of interaction between enterprises that operate public and private railway infrastructure when performing cargo transportation and cargo operations. Methodology. The studies were carried out using the methods of the theory of railway operation and economic and mathematical modeling. Findings. The study found that the transition from a planned economy to a market economy along with increasing customer requirements for the composition and quality of transport services is an objective reason for an increase in carriage downtime at private sidings and junction stations, a shortage of track capacity and shunting locomotives. It is shown that the existing approaches to assessing the effectiveness of the interaction between train tracks of enterprises and mainline railways are aimed at improving the performance of the rolling stock and do not create incentives to solve the problem of the shortage of transfer and processing capacity of the railway infrastructure. Originality. The paper proposes an improved method for assessing the effectiveness of the interaction of participants in the transportation process when performing transportation and cargo operations on the private sidings of industrial enterprises, based on the time the infrastructure is occupied. This approach, unlike the existing one, encourages railways and industrial enterprises to jointly search for the best technological solutions for the use of public and private railway infrastructure. Practical value. The method proposed in the paper for assessing the interaction of participants in the transportation process makes it possible to separate station services in the tariff for the use of the railway infrastructure into separate services of service facilities and track access to them. This will create a competitive environment and encourage participants in the transportation process to use the existing railway infrastructure and develop a new one to obtain a synergistic effect more efficiently.

“…As it is very hard to define economic efficiency in a railway setting [25], the priority criteria currently used in Sweden are more of a proxy for economic efficiency. In fact, not all countries use priority criteria, and the ones that do have different criteria [5]. As the priority criteria are only meant to be used when a conflict can not be solved in any other way, the timetable planners are left without much guidance and support during the actual timetable construction phase.…”

When I defend this thesis I will be 2 months short of 10 years as a PhD student. I've been a PhD student for more than 1/4 of my life (28% to be exact), and there are so many people I want to thank. Fitting 10 years of "thank you":s into one page two pages proved hard, and there are definitely more people I want to thank than there are names in this acknowledgements section. In fact, chances are that if you're reading this, then I want to thank you. So, whatever you've done for me (which includes reading this thesis) -Thank you! Okay. So. 10 years. It is a long time. We've better get started, and what better place to start than at the beginning?Mamma och pappa -thank you for everything! I really do appreciate the good food, long walks and lazy at-home nights, but even more important than good food (weird eh?) has been your non-stop support over the years. Thanks to pappa for discussing maths and physics with me from a young age (I aint scared of no theoretical discussions!), and thanks to mamma for occasionally forcing me to do something other than work. And thanks for letting me live with you when covid hit! I am quite convinced that my living with you guys is the main reasons this thesis is finally done. Erik -thank you for being a great big little brother and for providing me with some much needed non-academic perspectives on life.Pernilla and Camilla (my best friends in primary and secondary school)thank you for your friendship and stability during a time that other... euhm... school-focussed (?)... people often find hard (i.e. högstadiet). Thanks for the afternoon hang-outs and masquerade birthday parties and general silliness! And Emelie, Katharina and Christina (high school friends) -my oh-so intelligent friends that could definitely run the world. Thank you for all week-end trips, insights, and for letting me play with your amazing kids! And Emelie, there will be nice and non-scary crocodiles :-D.Malin -my Maths HL teacher who was super cool and expected us all to do something using mathemathics. Look Malin, I did! Thank you to RISE for the support during the writing of this thesis, and to all the RISE-people! Aronsson -who employed me, taught me almost everything I know about railways, and is the only one of my supervisors who vii

“…The priority rules are defined differently in different countries and are operated by different authorities. Ait and Eliasson (2021) claimed that it is strange that auctions are not used more in allocating available paths because they could strongly enhance the efficiency of the process.…”

This paper reviews the regulatory approaches to open access passenger rail competition. This kind of competition has developed substantially in the EU during the past decade. There have been major entries into the national main lines in Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Sweden. These entries have been very popular with passengers and rail ridership has gone up substantially. However, there have also been costs to these entries. The operations of the new entrants are diminishing economies of density, leading to higher unit costs. Further challenges include cherry-picking behaviour, scarce infrastructure capacity, tariff disintegration, and long-term sustainability. The major question is whether the social benefits outweigh the costs. This paper aims to review emerging evidence in the field of open access entries and approaches to their regulation. The scope of this paper is open access passenger rail entries in Europe after 2000 with a particular emphasis on the major entries that took place in Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Sweden after 2011. The contribution of this article to the existing literature is threefold. Firstly, it provides an up-to-date review of open access entries in Europe. Secondly, it combines the results of simulation studies with empirical evidence to provide an overview of market impacts. Lastly, it reviews the spectrum of regulatory approaches.
