  • Integrated assessment of environmental impact of
    traffic and transport infrastructure

Outline
  • What is Cost ?
  • What is Cost 350?
  • What is Cost 350 about?
  • What is Cost 350 going to do?
  • Interested?

3
What is Cost?
4
What is Cost (1)?
  • European Co-operation in the Field of Scientific
    and Technical Research
  • Europe-wide programme co-ordination of national
    research
  • Founded in 1971.
  • 25 signatory countries and the European
    Commission.
  • The research areas defined by participants
    themselves
  • Finances the travelling, meetings and seminars,
    exchanges of researchers and some short research
    works.

5
What is Cost (2)?
  • Meeting other European scientists
  • to compare their approaches,
  • to share their results,
  • to build scientific consensus,
  • to define the research needs.

6
What is Cost 350 ?
  • A large number of experts (commitment of 18
    countries)
  • Countries signed the MoU Cyprus, France,
    Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Ireland, Italy,
    the Netherlands, Latvia, England, Spain, Greece
    and Belgium
  • Management Committee
  • 8 dedicated Working Groups
  • Support of the Cost secretariat

7
What is Cost 350 about (1)?
  • Problem definition
  • Tension exists between various spatial functions
    as result of mobility
  • Not much is done to integrate elements necessary
    for optimisation of spatial functions
  • Up till now research results are hardly
    integrated or used in decision making processes
  • EU Implementation of SEA directive in 2004, put
    into practice not easy

8
What is Cost 350 about (2)?
  • main objective of the action

To establish a concept integrating at regional
scale all the environmental aspects of traffic an
land-transport infrastructure in relation to the
decision making process. This in order to assist
policy makers at an earlier stage of their
decision-making on transport and mobility.
9
What is Cost 350 about (3)?
  • secondary objectives of the action
  • To optimise use of existing research results
    regarding environment and transport
  • To formulate new, integrated parameters which
    have a certain universality
  • To achieve a common understanding of the
    importance and concept of integration of
    environmental aspects and the transport modes
  • To identify further research requirements

10
What is Cost 350 about ? (4)
  • Benefits to users
  • National Government Policy Maker
  • Regional Planner and Policy Maker
  • Managers of large infrastructure
    projects/programs
  • Research Institutes/Academia

11
What is Cost 350 going to do? (1)
  • Work Programme
  • One work package per deliverable ( 8 total)
  • WP1 to produce a methodological guidance and
    frameworks
  • WP2-5 Four work packages to
  • sort out an aspect of the integral approach
  • produce a deliverable report
  • WP6 to produce an integration concept based on
    WP2-5
  • WP 8 to write a final report and disseminate the
    results

12
What is Cost 350 going to do? (2)
  • Scientific programma and Deliverables
  • WP1 Methodological guide
  • Guidance and integration frameworks
  • WP2 Inventory of environmental mechanisms and
    decision-making mechanisms.
  • The result will be an overview of the
    environmental mechanisms, the public perception
    of the environment and decision-making
    mechanisms.

13
What is Cost 350 going to do? (3)
  • Scientific programma and Deliverables
  • WP3 Inventory of traffic and transport
    characteristics.
  • The relevant traffic and transport
    characteristics will be described in relation to
    the environment and the spatial balance.
  • WP4 Inventory of measures.
  • The result will be an overview of possible
    measures, which can reduce the burden on the
    environment caused by transportation.

14
What is Cost 350 going to do? (4)
  • Scientific programma and Deliverables
  • WP5 Inventory of integration methods.
  • Overview, terms of reference and basic structure
    of relevant models.
  • WP6 Integrative Synthesis.
  • Description of the relations between the studied
    elements and a methodology to integrate the
    elements and make the information useful for
    decision-making.

15

What is Cost 350 going to do? (5)
  • Scientific programma and Deliverables
  • WP7 Further research requirements.
  • Identified further research requirements will be
    described in a report
  • WP8 Dissemination.
  • Final report, presentations, publications,
    internet
