HŽ Putnički prijevoz is a company conducting public passenger transport at inland and international railway traffic. It is currently the only company conducting rail passenger transport in Croatia. Since 2010, HŽ PP had to reduce its rail lines by more than 50 per cent ”2010: 1.835 million pkm, today: 858 million pkm) partly due to the decline of the population of Croatia as a whole ”1990: 4.7 million inhabitants, today: 4.2 million) and especially of its peripheral areas and consequently less demand for train services and in most part due to market liberalization preparation and lack of public funds. Moreover, within the next 30 years, 15 of 21 counties are expected to loose more another 40 per cent of their population. As public funding for rail transport corresponds to the number of passengers, a politically imposed vicious cycle between reduced transport capacities, further depopulation, lower numbers of passengers and lack of financing leading to yet further service reduction results in tremendous challenges to make rail transport in Croatia more attractive. The challenge includes both the improvement of services ”e.g. better links between different modes of transport) and improved passenger information ”e.g. online services, real-time information). The learning from RUMOBIL is crucial to better understand how an improvement of service quality may attract additional rail passengers who previously had been lost when services were reduced.

HŽ Putnički prijevoz aMo is a company conducting the agency for mobility and local public passenger transport at inland and international railway traffic. It is currently the only company conducting rail passenger transport in Croatia. Since 2010, HŽ PP had to reduce its rail lines by more than 50 per cent ”2010: 1.835 million pkm, today: 858 million pkm) partly due to the decline of the population of Croatia as a whole ”1990: 4.7 million inhabitantsModena province, today: 4.2 million) fully owned and especially of its peripheral areas and consequently less demand controlled by the province“s local public authorities.

The challenge includes both agency owns and manages all passenger information systems available in the improvement area ”and information panels). In 2014, aMo managed 12,388,185 kilometers of public bus transport, about half of it being sub-urban services in Modena“s surroundings. There, on-demand services are an important feature of the transport network. Yet, modern information and communication technologies have not been applied to improve on-demand services but first approaches were developed as result of the EDITS project. The expertise with regard to on-demand services is very rich and will therefore be useful to other partners aiming to experiment with such services ”e.g. better links between different modes of transport) and improved passenger information ”e.g. online servicesVysočina, real-time informationCroatia). The learning aMo furthermore has a very good structure from RUMOBIL is crucial to better understand how an improvement the point of service quality may attract additional rail passengers who previously had been lost when services were reducedview of IT systems; all the activities are carried out with specific softwares and have experience in Electronic Ticketing and AVM/AVL systems. As many territories While other partner regions are affected by demographic change in Central Europe suffer from similar conditionsa way that populations are strongly declining, the learning rural areas of the Modena province show a steady growth of their population ”+6.5% in last ten years). Yet, the growth of population has not led to an increase of peri-urban public transport but rather to a shift of modal split towards individual motorised traffic. aMo therefore aims to further its expertise in innovative demand-driven services and to highlight the positive impacts of public transport to reverse this trend. aMo will be very valuable furthermore contribute with its experiences as implementing body for the envisaged RUMOBIL Strategy and its policy recommendations jointly drafted by PRIT - Piano Regionale Integrato dei Trasporti ”Regional Integrated Plan for Transport, a document released from the consortium.

The transport strategy of Karlovac County, selected for the implementation of RUMOBIL activitiesprojects concerning public transport. Transport, especially its contribution to labour mobility ”commuting), is currently under wayone priority of the County Development Programme 2014-2020. The programme stresses that missing links in the public transport network must be closed and the coverage of isolated towns be improved. Bottlenecks in the public transport network shall be removed and the overall quality of public transport is to be improved. As a cross-cutting objective, the county aims to reduce the CO2 impact of transport by strengthening cycling and public transport against the dominance of individual motorised transport. In previous years, the increase of car mileage by inhabitants was tremendous. Similar to other rural areas in Central Europe, the region suffers from a natural population shrinkage due to low birthrates and outward migration. The county government is legally responsible for the organisation of bus transport within the region and aims to improve its intermodal links – both towards the major train line towards Budapest as well as the county´s bicycle network. Capitalising the learning from RUMOBIL, the county will amend its transport-related policies ”Operational Programme of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County 2014-2020).

Since 2010, HŽ PP had to reduce its rail lines by more than 50 per cent ”2010: 1.835 million pkm, today: 858 million pkm) partly due to the decline average age of the population continuously increases due to longer life expectancy while the younger generations are in a process of Croatia as a whole shrinking. The changing demographics lead to new transport demands to which the regional self-government has to find appropriate responses in their transport policies. Another main challenge the regional self-government aims to address is the integration of different transport modes and to harmonise its timetables and ticketing regimes. Access to European good practices and the ability to experiment innovative approaches in the RUMOBIL project will contribute to improved public policies in these regards. The Žilina self-governing region is currently under way to prepare its first transport plan for its territory.

HŽ Putnički prijevoz is a company conducting public passenger transport at inland The University of Žilina was established as the Railway College on 1st September 1953 by the separation from the Czech Technical University in Prague. In 1996, it was renamed from the University of Transport and international railway traffic. It is currently the only company conducting rail passenger transport in Croatia. Since 2010, HŽ PP had to reduce its rail lines by more than 50 per cent ”2010: 1.835 million pkm, today: 858 million pkm) partly due Communications to the decline University of the population of Croatia Žilina in Žilina. The University as a whole ”1990: 4.7 million inhabitantspublic university provides education at Bachelor´s degree, today: 4.2 million) Engineer/Master´s degree and Doctoral degree in both full-time and part-time forms. Scientific teams closely cooperate with partners from various industrial branches in the applied research. UNIZA has rich academic and practical competences in all aspects regarding public transport. The expertise will be shared with all partners of RUMOBIL and especially of its peripheral areas and consequently less demand for train services and in most part due to market liberalization preparation and lack of public funds. Moreover, within the next 30 years, 15 of 21 counties are expected to loose more another 40 per cent of their population. As public funding for rail transport corresponds to the number of passengers, a politically imposed vicious cycle between reduced transport capacities, further depopulation, lower numbers of passengers and lack of financing leading to yet further service reduction results in tremendous challenges to make rail transport in Croatia more attractive. The challenge includes both the improvement of services ”e.g. better links between different modes of transport) and improved passenger information ”e.g. online services, real-time information). The learning from RUMOBIL is crucial to better understand how an improvement of service quality may attract additional rail passengers who previously had been lost when services were reduced. As many territories in Central Europe suffer from similar conditions, the learning will be very valuable for the envisaged RUMOBIL Strategy and its policy recommendations jointly drafted by the consortium. On policy-level, HŽ PP closely collaborate with the national Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure in the formulation of transport strategies for Croatian countries.

The implementation will focus on the rail line linking peripheral areas of Karlovačka County with Karlovac and Zagreb, hence an area most affected by depopulation and where the improvement of transport access to the national and therefore European passenger transport network is seen as a strategic mean to confront this challenge. The company will share its previous experiences in the coordination of the regional experimentations taking place within that work package. As such, it is UNIZA´s task to monitor the planning and realisation of these pilot activities to identify strengths and transferable approaches as well as the learning relevant for the elaboration and furtherance of the RUMOBIL Strategy and corresponding policy recommendations ”T1). UNIZA´s staff´s academic background will enable the institution to give both advice to partners planning of rail transport their regional experimentations to take latest research results into account and to analyse results in Croatia´s rural areasa structured way. UNIZA will furthermore coordinate expert excursions during the pilot phase to make sure all partners can capitalise from one region´s experimentation. As WP leader, provide its knowledge of good practices and share project results among its regional, national and European networks. It UNIZA will participate in the Coordination Group of WP leaders and assist the LP in strategically steering the projects towards its intended results. The university will furthermore assist in the preparation and realisation of all partner transnational events with presentations and analytic contributions. The university will host a one Partner Workshop. While contributing In addition to the exchange and capacity building in T1its role as WP leader, HŽ PP will be responsible for the implementation of a regional experimentation aiming at increasing the number of train passengers by introducing new train services between isolated rural areas in Karlovac County and the secondary transport hub in Karlovac ”Zagreb-Rijeka railway - access to the Mediterranean TEN). The new service will be designed to suit both the needs of commuters and the itineraries of tourists to generate additional customers and ticket sales. A promotional campaign to communicate the pilot service will be realised. Novel ICT solutions will be applied to improve offline and online information and to allow passengers to plan their trips. In the project, HŽ PP UNIZA will closely collaborate with its "mother ministry", the Croation Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure and the local government of Karlovac CountyŽilina region. The regional self-government will receive advise in all stages of the project.
