Objectives of research
Main objectives:
The main objective of the PRIVILEGE project is to identify those categries of traffic which may deserve higher priority than others in terms of guaranteed mobility in overcrowded road networks. A strategy is to be devised that could ensure uninhibited and uncongested access for those traffic categories with higher priority while maintaining a general level of accessibility to every destination for all travellers. To achieve these objectives an analysis of exixiting household data relevant to transport will be carried out. Measures to improve the use of the exisiting transport infrastructure will be worked out, including encouraging modal shift from private to public means of transport.
