Objetivo The MINIMISE project is a strategic initiative to support European transport policies and transport systems. MINIMISE aims at a productive, low cost and high quality transport system with a minimalburden on traffic and environment, both in passenger and freight transport, and thus to reduce transport cost for society. The accomplishment of this goual by making better use of transport markets will lead to an improvement of interoperability and thus contributes to CTP. Competition and deregulation as well as systems organisation will be measured by their influences on transport capacities.The research project is to identify strategic approaches, measures, assessment of impacts and develop techniques for evaluation of the passenger and freight transport sectors so as to equip the political andadministrative management required for this task, but also to support greater organisations in the transport market.The overall objective of the project is to analyse the European transport market as a whole and to design specific measures in order to promote interoperability and economic efficiency of the trans-European transport system. To reach these main objectives, the key-issue of this project is to produce an integrated approach to improve interoperability encompassing all the integral elements of the transportation system (transportmodes, interfaces and infrastructure). This will enable decision makers to establish a consistent andwell co-ordinated approach to promoting interoperability. Thus, the fundamental new approachof this concept is to aim for optimal operability of the whole system by maximising the achieveableefficiency of the sub-systems, taking into consideration interrelations among them.Links with other projects, tasks, areas, programmes, policy actions:SORT-IT consortium for tasks 23 and 24 (see Memorandum of Understanding between MINIMISE and SORT-IT, Tasks 22 and 26).Case studiesAll case studies are on European level.
