Task Force "Transport Intermodality" - Final report
The Commission's Task Force on "Transport Intermodality" has adopted its final report setting out priorities for research in the area of intermodal transportation. The report is based on the findings of six technical panels involving over 100 European experts. These panels are: - Intermodal freight terminal 2000+; - Intermodal freight network 2000+; - Transport town 2000+; - Intermodal traveller 2000+; - Passenger interchange 2000+; - Research studies: freight; - Research studies: passengers; - Support activities. The report identifies, by area, new tasks for further research. Certain tasks are identified as priorities for funding under forthcoming calls for proposals within the specific RTD programmes of the Fourth Framework Programme. Others are identified as priorities for funding under the Fifth Framework Programme, and for research funded directly by the Task Force. These latter are aggregated under "Future Research" priorities pending adoption of the Fifth Framework Programme and approval of the supplementary budget for the Task Force.
