Objectives of research
Main objectives:
The research study EUDET will provide a comprehensive evaluation of the Danube waterway by identifying preconditions and measures that will turn the Danube into a key transport infrastructure for East-West-European transport flows on the south-East axis. - examine existing conditions of inland navigation on the Danube - identify main physical, commercial, organisational and infrastructural bottlenecks - focus on interoperability requirements with corresponding waterway systems - outline intermodality requirements in order to integrate inland navigation into combined transport chains - evaluate existing and future market potentials for inland navigation in the corridor trough detailed freight analyses and forecasts for the year 2010 - develop concepts and strategies to maximise the use of the waterways - evaluate the economic and environmental impact of the proposed measures - provide comprehensive recommendations for the development of inland navigation in the corridor and for a Common Transport Policy (CTP) favourable to increase inland waterway transport
