Objectives of research

Main objectives:

1- Carry out a comprehensive analysis of High Speed Rail (HSR) demand, identifying and describing HSR users, relevant/specific demand features and users' demand for urban intermodal connections. 2- Determine which urban transport modes/options best meet users' requirements for interconnection with HSR terminals. 3- Define priorities for the development of these interconnection options, based on an impact assessment analysis (social, economic and environment). 4- Define general policy guidelines for developping and supporting the prioritary interconnection options, addressing economic, land use, financing, tariffs, interconnection services and legal/institutional issues.

Secondary objective:

4- Identification of 'demand segments' within the whole body of HSR users and individuation of corresponding transport demand features. 5- Development of a cost-benefit multicriteria analysis model, calibrated in Rome, Paris and Frankfurt. 6- Recommendations for the cities of Rome, Paris and Frankfurt.
