Issues of traffic surveys within the TRANS TRITIA project

Abstract

Road infrastructure is increasingly loaded by national and international freight transport, and so the European Union is trying to force Member States to try to shift some road freight transport to another mode of transport to create a large and efficient intermodal freight network. In this paper, we present a research project called TRANS TRITIA solved within the resources of the Interreg Central Europe program, which falls under priority axis no. 4 “Cooperation on transport to better connect CENTRAL EUROPE” and the specific program objective SO 4.2 “To improve coordination among freight transport stakeholders for increasing multimodal environmentally-friendly freight solutions. We will focus on its objectives by which wants to contribute to the efficient utilization of intermodal freight transport, to make transport more environmentally friendly. The project partners from Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland, together with representatives of the relevant regional governments, focused on improving the interconnection of Central European countries in the field of freight transport. In the second part of the paper, we will discuss in more detail the issue of traffic surveys, which served to obtain important data for the transport model of the TRITIA area.
