LICB activity - Lasting Infrastructure Cost Benchmarking database
Overview
Background & policy context:
The study on cost benchmarking is addressed to IMs and intends to provide all participants with the opportunity to define their own cost-position. Currently, 14 European Infrastructure Managers participate in the project and deliver information each year. CFL joined the project in 2006. Data have been collected and analysed since 1996 so that it is possible to identify trends over time.
Objectives:
Since 1996, the International Union of Railways (UIC) has facilitated the Lasting Infrastructure Cost Benchmarking (LICB) of 15 Western European railways. This new project represents an important step forward in valuable UIC cost benchmarking.
Methodology:
New members have joined the project, giving this survey a wider overview. Implementations of new methodology and an online collaborative tool have improved the collection, checking and data analysis on behalf of participants.
