Background

Fuelled by the fall of the Iron Curtain and by the accession of the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic and Hungary to the European Union and the Schengen Agreement, an economic integration of the CENTROPE region is taking place. This process causes an increase of transport. On of the biggest future challenges will be the provision of environmentally compatible and sustainable transport infrastructure for both individual and public transport. To be able to assess transport infrastructure investments on a sound basis, transport models are used to simulate effects. Until now, for administrative and financial reasons only several stand-alone transport models exist which end at the borders of administrative units and therefore don't allow for a cross-border view.

Targets

The target of this project is to build a cross-border transport model for the CENTROPE region, to support the infrastructure planning process in the area.

The transport model will be intermodal, covering motorized individual transport as well as public transport (bus, rail, underground), bike traffic and pedestrians.

As the project is financed from public funds, the results will be accessible for all interested parties (public authorities, public transport associations, etc., esp. the Advisory Board Members).

The project is realised bilaterally within the three "Programmes for cross-border cooperation" ("creating the future") AT-CZ, AT-HU and SK-AT. (Funding)
