Results

Criteria and specific thresholds, such as a particular TERN-haul or section regarding traffic flow and weather conditions can be described as problematic, are not supplied by the TELTEN2 recommendations. In particular, it remains unclear what, "seasonal" and "local" traffic flow issues and to understand exactly under a weather problem is in "daily".

The delegation consists of concrete tasks to the individual countries, the risk that each country comes to outlying proposals when defining its criteria and thresholds, which are characterised by different interests. Result of these efforts at national level would be a great bandwidth and most incomparable thresholds.
