Impact Analysis

This deliverable will be aimed at quantifying the economic effects for each stakeholder involved. Collecting input from previous Work Packages, the analysis will define the relations among stakeholders in terms of supply of hardware and services, and will identify the impact in terms of investment costs, operating costs and savings along a determined time horizon. The focus will be on players such as not only infrastructure managers and railway undertakings but also the satellite sector. The liaison of the consortium with a variety of operators will enable to get comprehensive input which will be used both at this stage and for the overall economic evaluations. In the case where industry providers and/or rail operators are not in the position to disclose such input, the analysis will be performed considering realistic ranges of data and deriving outcome variations (sensitivity analyses).
