Objective
ASSET addresses Task 6: Transport related sensitive areas, Section 3.2 of the SSP 5A call. It will develop the scientific and methodological capabilities to implement European policies aiming at balancing the environmental protection of Sensitive Areas (SA) with the provision of an efficient transport system. Special emphasis on market based instruments. Main impact: improved policy formulation/implementation (infrastructure charging, sustainable development of TEN-T).
Main outputs:
- common framework of definitions, criteria and valuation parameters for Transport Sensitive Areas (TSA),
- methodology for assessment of sensitiveness in TSA,
- mapping of TSAs across the EU,
