Objectives

ITIP is aiming to analyse the development and integration of new technologies for the improvement of intermodal transport operations. Innovative transhipment techniques and the impact on interoperability for transport means and equipment will be the priority area.

In particular, the ITIP project will:

• Identify the relevant innovative developments
• Make an inventory of the national and European technological developments
• Allow improved concertation and cross fertilisation between the developments
• Analyse the success and failure factors being active for these developments
• Identify and specify the framework conditions for the successful integration of new technologies
• Give out recommendations for implementation

The objectives discussed above will be converted into tangible results which will be integrated into the deliverables and represent the end products of the project:

• State of the Art and assessment of new technologies in inter-modal transport
• Policy recommendations based upon the experiences during implementation
• Expert system for new technologies’ presentation and simulation
• Outline for future demonstration projects
• Handbook on Best Practice for policy makers
