ASSEMBLING A EUROPEAN NETWORK OF MONITORING CENTERS FOR TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURES

Objective

The main objective of the research is the establishment of a Network of Transport Infrastructure Monitoring Centers. Each Monitoring Center or Observatory will be devoted to relevant cases of transport infrastructure decision-making processes and/or impacts.

The Observatory Network to be created within ASSEMBLING research will consist on five Monitoring Centers located as follows: East Mediterranean, Scandinavian Nordic Triangle, Rhine Gateway, Pyrenees, West Mediterranean.

Each Observatory will have a particular technical orientation but all of them will share a common core to facilitate consistency and harmonisation al European level. The network will be open in order to be extended over time.

A Transport Infrastructure Monitoring Center is considered in ASSEMBLING in its two core components:

1) A specialised "Information System", requiring specific information collection, strategies management and dissemination. The use of advanced high technologies (software and computing, telecomunications) will be carefully assessed.

2) A "Constituency", in terms of assuring the permanent institutional, financial and legal arrangements needed to give continuity to the monitoring exercise. To achieve this aim, monitoring observatories will be linked to real decision-making processes and actors (such as transport managers, planners, local entities...)

Early stages in the research will be devoted to explore both aspects (Information Systems and Constituency) on already existing Observatories and Monitoring Centers and to assemble relevant disperse studies in the field.
