TRANSITECTS

Transalpine Transport Architects

"For the logistic market in the Alpine Space by upgrading intermodal nodes and offering new connections"
Improving intermodal solutions for transalpine freight traffic.

Road traffic congestion is growing continuously and at a rapid pace. The problems this brings are found in concentrated form on the small number of transit routes across the Alps.

Substantial damage to the environment caused by noise and particle emissions, poor transport safety as well as high economic losses in the fields of logistics and tourism are putting a strain on the region. Alternative means of transport are in urgent need of being strengthened in order to relieve the burden on the area, the people and the roads.

Against this background TRANSITECTS is aiming at…

• creating sustainable intermodal solutions for transalpine freight traffic which fit changing markets
• improving the railway network’s attractiveness and accessibility for the logistic market
• disburdening alpine transport routes and generate positive ecologic and economic impacts
• implementing the shift from road to rail related traffic
• activating synergies and leverage effects through transnational cooperation
