ACCESSMILE

Project overview

Improving ACCESSibility of last MILE connections of rural and peripheral regions to main TEN-T nodes in Central Europe through ICT

The trans-European transport networks carry a large share of long-distance freight transport across Europe. But connections between the main nodes of these networks and rural or peripheral regions are rather weak, with negative consequences for transport operators. The ACCESSMILE project improves the accessibility of such regions with the networks. To this end, the partners pilot new strategies and action plans to optimise IT processes related to transport flows, gates and cargo bundling.

Strategy for improving the last mile accessibility of rural and peripheral areas to TEN-Ts through ICT Deliverable no. D.1.1.2

Activity 1.1 is devoted to jointly assessing the current situation on last mile accessibility of rural and peripheral area in CE to the main freight nodes of TEN-T networks and elaborating a transnational strategy to improve it. As a first step, PPs analyse the status quo in this domain by assessing bottlenecks and market potential, including currently applied ICT tools. PP8-RSOE investigates good practices in the European and international context and carries out a comparative benchmarking study, assessing regions against each other, identifying which best practice could feed further project activities in a work paper. Following that, PPs jointly draft a strategy setting a vision, objectives and priorities aimed at the optimisation of transport flows and reduction of environmental externalities through IT tools, covering the three domains of: 1. Vehicle Booking Systems/pre-arrival or pre-exit notification, port/terminal gates; 2. Port/terminal gates and interoperability among public/private IT systems; 3. Cargo bundling Aim of this document is to provide PPs with a common template as to co-design Deliverable D.1.1.2 “Strategy for improving the last mile accessibility of rural/peripheral areas to TEN-Ts through ICT”.
Type of output: Strategies and action plans

Activity 1.1 is devoted to jointly planning the improvement of accessibility of rural and peripheral areas to TEN-T nodes through IT tools, covering the three domains of: 1. Vehicle Booking Systems/pre-arrival or pre-exit notification, port/terminal gates; 2. Port/terminal gates and interoperability among public/private IT systems; 3. Cargo bundling Through this document, drafted by PP2-ZAILOG, PP3-Port of La Spezia (Italy), PP4-Luka Koper (Slovenia), PP8-RSOE (Hungary) and PP9-BCT (Poland) jointly break down the goals of the transnational Strategy for improving the last mile accessibility of rural/peripheral areas to TEN-Ts through ICT (deliverable D.1.1.2) in an action plan for optimising last mile accessibility of CE rural and peripheral areas by improving port/terminal gates and entry/exit IT tools and procedures, with specific tasks for each PP, KPIs, time line, financial resources needed.
