Objective
In sciences, real systems usually are split up and allocated to different disciplines. This way of scientific division of research - often referred to as the Descartes-type of structuring scientific analysis - abstracts from the inter-relationships between the elements of the system and the dynamics which are induced by feedback mechanisms.
The ASTRA project tries to re-establish the inter-relationships between four research disciplines: macroeconomics, regional economics and land use, transport and environment.
Partial models of these four disciplines are integrated into one System Dynamics model. The purpose of this model is to carry out a strategic analysis of the Common Transport Policy (CTP) including the construction of the Trans European Networks (TEN) in terms of the long-term development of key variables in the four research fields.
