This case study illustrates the story of the Modernisation of the railway line Žilina – Krásno nad Kysucou, a major infrastructure investment co-financed by the EU over the programming period 2007-2013. More specifically, this is an ex-post evaluation assessing the long-term effects produced by ...
The objective of this evaluation is to analyse the long-term contribution of selected environmental major projects to economic development, quality of life and well-being of citizens, and environmental sustainability. The evaluation addresses five criteria (project relevance, coherence, effectiv...
The report provides a set of indicators and tools that allow policy makers to measure accessibility and connectivity of border regions in Europe at both national and international levels. The methodology can be used to identify areas where transport infrastructure may be lacking and prioritize p...
The S2R Programme is an integrated set of Research and Innovation (R&I) activities, structured around five asset-specific Innovation Programmes (IPs), covering key structural (technical) and functional (process) subsystems of the rail systems: passenger trains, traffic management systems, infras...
The transport sector has experienced a large number of positive impacts as a result of developments in information and communication technologies related to operational improvements, route planning, fleet and cargo monitoring and safety as well as security issues in the (recent) past. These deve...
This brochure has been produced for the Information Society Policy Link (ISPL) by the ICT Results editorial service. ISPL is an important part of the Information Society and Media Directorate-General’s goal to draw clear lines between policy, policy-making and European research in the field of i...
Within the context of this research study for DG RTD, there is a clear distinction between the various tasks. While the focus of Task 1 is on the potential of research and innovation for the generation of secure, lower-cost and low ILUC biomass feedstock for energy in the 2030 and 2050 horizon, ...
The study “Towards a Single and Innovative European Transport System” is developing action plans for the establishment of an integrated transport system in Europe. This report was created in a joint effort between VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH (Germany), Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Envi...
The European Rail Sector has room for improvements with regard to its performance. But how exactly are the railways performing and how are they improving? Key Performance Indicators are a popular tool to measure and benchmark the performance of an organisation. They are used on the company manag...
This overview of the transport and tourism sectors in Finland was prepared to provide information for the mission of the Transport and Tourism Committee to Finland (8-11 February 2016)....
The dynamic spatial general equilibrium model RHOMOLO with endogenous firm location incorporates multiple sources of agglomeration and dispersion. Agglomeration is driven mainly by increasing returns to scale and localised externalities; dispersion by costly trade and imperfect competition. In R...
This document described examples of measures that could be used for Sustainable Urban Demonstration projects (SUDeP) in the Eastern Partnership cities. The examples of measures with high degree of replicability are selected from the Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAPs) of Ukraine. The measures...
The study provides an analysis of the social and working conditions of professional drivers engaged in the road freight transport sector. It concentrates on the fundamental social issues that arise in this transport segment, including driving times and rest periods as well as practical aspects t...
This study looks over the ways in which the transport of goods is influenced by significant variations in oil prices and focuses on carrier's responses in the different transport sectors. It investigates the relations between oil prices and the transport sector, by taking into account the eviden...
This Report summarizes the last experiences carried out on the calibration of traffic simulation models. This Topic is only a specific case of the broader problem of simulation optimization....
Electrification has a major role to play in decarbonising transport and in reducing its fossil fuel dependency. For transport electrification to be cost-efficient and ready for future needs, adequate research and innovation (R&I) in this field is necessary. This report provides a comprehensive a...
