Network category
The network category specifies the classification of a transport network ( railroad , road ) or a pipeline network ( gas , electricity , IT ). In the course of the release of infrastructure facilities for the general public, the network category is becoming increasingly important, as the quality of the respective network is directly related to the infrastructure usage fee (IBE).
Transport network categories
When it comes to railways, a basic distinction is made between main and branch lines or long-distance and regional lines. In the future, further differentiations will be necessary in the network categories of the railways in order to be able to meet the requirements of the train path pricing systems. In Austria, a subdivision into the “core network”, the “supplementary network” and the “other network” has therefore been made since 2000, with the classification being made into the categories “A”, “B1”, “B2” and “C”. The various network categories of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) are shown in detail in an infrastructure atlas .
In the road network, a distinction is made in the network category between motorways, federal highways, state roads and local roads.
Network categories
In the gas and electricity network, a distinction is made between the three transport levels “national long-distance supply”, “regional long-distance supply” and “final distribution”.
