1. Main maps and their interpretation

Main maps and their interpretation
Endowment: Infrastructure supply - infrastructure capacity - service vulnerability
Traffics: Volume - flow Accessibility: Cost - Daily accessibility -
Potential accessibilityInnovative mapping approaches: Time space
maps - crumpled time-space maps and crumpled cost maps

Major territorial imbalances (1)
In the European space, the first imbalance is geographical
The geographical constraints influenced the settlement
The territory is not compact
Transit space is limitedThe mountains zones are
barriers but the maritime transport potential is important

Major territorial imbalances (2)
The centre-periphery organization (with either a pentagon or “blue banana” structure)
Moreover, there are other differentiations and finally very contrasted
Space becomes a very rare resource for countries with high density of population
The low densities attract the tourism and the settlement growth on the littoral
The modification of these imbalances seems hardly possible currently

Each modification induces imbalances. Imbalance is inseparable of the dynamic.
The increase of the capacities of road corridors is currently impossible for most of highways
Moreover, the capacities available on the railways are insufficient to permit a modal shift
In our domain, dynamic can be seen as a confrontation between two different temporalities.
The temporality of the transport supply that is expressed in the easiest way by creations of road and rail infrastructures (13 to 15 years)
The temporality of the transport demand that is those of firms for goods and that is roughly of 3 or 5 years, for the creation of a production unit and for a relocation
We propose to promote policies at short, medium, and long term
Global policy recommendations
ESPON 121 « Transport services
and networks »
Global short term transport policy recommendations, already in application in numerous agglomerations:
• regulation of traffics to increase the capacities, diminish the pollutants, the casualties…
• pricing policies, • development of intermodality to facilitate a
modal shift and • the degradation of speeds on roads
Towards a sustainable transport: a reduction of the fuel consummation, so of the emission, of casualties, etc…
Key policy recommendations at the European level
ESPON 121 « Transport services

Global medium term transport policy recommendations
Support the modal shift with maritime transport
Presently, in conditions of concurrency really less favourable, rail transport is only competitive from 500 to 700 km.
Transformation of classical railways into freight-dedicated lines: to support the need of modern logistics, proposal for high speed and high frequencies rail freight transport (150 km/h: 1000 km in 8 hours)
Key policy recommendations at the European level
ESPON 121 « Transport services

Global long term transport policy recommendations
A policy of creation of new infrastructures is also necessary: we must diminish the vulnerability of network by
• a minimum of modal redundancy when it is possible and
• a multimodal redundancy when it is not

• 5 research teams, 47 indicators, 89 maps• Extension of existing indicators• Development of many new indicators• Promoting other types of maps: nodes,
networks, multi-scales, time-space• A common framework for the
presentation of indicators• From transport indicators to policy
recommendations• Confrontation of indicators: the variety of
the points of views, ie the accessibility
Main scientific achievements
ESPON 121 « Transport services

ESPON Project 1.2.1 is very well integratedNetworking within ESPON took place :
at the level of project co-ordinators, the level of National Focal Points, the level of overall networking at ESPON Seminars the level of bilateral contacts to other TPGthe level of involvement of project partners in numerous
other ESPON projects relevant for 1.2.1.
Exchanges on data issues, concepts, indicators and typologies were sought with a number of projects, in particular with 1.1.1, 2.1.1 and 3.1

Structures (territories, networks, transport modes) will face deep changes
Classical econometric model for forecast can not be applied:
based on present trends and constant structure, they can only show amplified or reduced existing trend
New prospective models must be developed:To do this, we can use numerous new techniques:
percolation, cellular, Multi-agent system…This model must take the European special networks
into account to test various scenarii in the short and long term.
Perspectives for further researches
