	High-speed rail - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The International Union of Railways' high speed task force provides definitions of high speed rail travel [1], but note that there is no one single definition of the term, but rather a combination of elements - new or upgraded track, rolling stock, operating practices - that lead to high speed rail operations.
		Railways were the first form of mass transportation, and until the invention of the motorcar in the early 20th century, had an effective monopoly on land transport.
		High-speed rail was conceived as an attempt to win back railway passengers who had been lost to other means of travel; in most cases it has been quite successful to this end.

		THE Euro-Interlocking project was launched on January 1 last year by the International Union of Railways (UIC) with the aim of significantly reducing the life cycle costs of future interlockings in Europe.
		In order to understand the determination of the European railways to support and invest in the Euro-Interlocking project, it is interesting to look at the factors and considerations which motivated the participating railways to start the project.
		Such changes are of concern to railway infrastructure owners who are expected to maintain and make changes to interlocking systems during their life, which even for first generation electronic interlockings is expected to be between 20 and 50 years.

		Another impact of globalisation affecting international transport is the internationalisation of the division of labour, creating production centres in new locations with low unit production costs but high transport costs to serve the consumption centres.
		With the varying technical specifications, standards, and governing regulations for international movement of goods that exist today, it is clear that consistent efforts are needed to develop and achieve a uniform approach.
		International freight operations will be best served by independent operating companies with a shareholding structure, comprising national railways, shipping lines, and major forwarders.

	What you should know about the UIP
		Their objective was to take advantage of a wider organisation that could focus on international matters and represent them vis-à-vis the International Union of Railways (UIC), and other organisations.
		The UIP believes the threat of an unbalanced situation is compounded by the inconsistency of European transport policy which is hampering railway development in the field of freight transport, to the advantage of road haulage.
		It would be unacceptable that the railways, using their own rolling stock and with the aid of cross-subsidies, should be able to take market share from private wagons.
