Objective The aim is to study the dynamic interaction of a road or rail vehicle with its infrastructure and to agree solutions that will reduce the environmental and economic impact of freight traffic. This involves collation and analysis of characteristic data and key source documents, running an economic model which transparently allocates the costs amongst road or rail freight users and developing environmental acceptability criteria for different classes of vehicles and infrastructures. The user group to be established will reach out to infrastructure maintainers, vehicle operators, manufacturers, stakeholders, Member State representatives and the Commission, in order to establish a widely accepted and sustainable consensus. Outputs will help implementation of current directives on interoperability (01/016) and intermodality (92/106) and the priorities set out in the EU's White Paper on Transport and the EU's Climate Change Program Fields of science natural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencesatmospheric sciencesclimatologyclimatic changes Programme(s) FP5-GROWTH - Programme for research technological development and demonstration on "Competitive and sustainable growth 1998-2002" Topic(s) 1.1.3.-3. - Key Action Land Transport and Marine Technologies Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme ACM - Preparatory, accompanying and support measures Coordinator SCIOTECH PROJECTS LIMITED EU contribution No data Address Whiteknights, University of Readings RG6 2AY READING / SILCHESTER United Kingdom See on map Total cost No data Participants (5) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all FORUM OF EUROPEAN NATIONAL HIGHWAY RESEARCH LABORATORIES Belgium EU contribution No data Address BOULEVARD DE LA WOLUWE 42, BOITE 3 1200 BRUXELLES See on map Total cost No data NS RAILINFRABEHEER B.V.
