TEN (Trans-European Network), PEC (Pan-European
Corridors), TINA network and the CETC (Amber
corridor)

• European scale Central-European scale local
  scale
• The function of the multimodal inter-regional
  transport corridors is to serve the territorial
  coverage
• The importance of the internal connections
• The TEN of EU-15s, its enlargement (PEC) and a
  more dense one (TINA)
• Hungarian plans and debates and the CETC process
• Summary, consequences

Summary

• The inter-regional/international corridor is an
  indirect, higher-level connection, its task is
  not directly serving the destinations, rather
  supplying a wider (80-100 km) area (with
  relatively few corridors), by improving the
  external connections of the local networks.
• The main aim is the good interconnection of the
  whole Central-European area. A proper TEN
  backbone network structure has to serve that aim,
  and the necessity of single corridors must be
  followed from that.
• There are 9-10 countries along the belt of the
  CETC /Amber-corridor, and it is not likely that a
  200-300 km wide area could be served by one
  single north-south corridor. It is not the title
  that should be fight for, but rather a strategic
  level survey of the whole Central European
  network, and to bring decisions based on that.

Automobile ways spatial coverage

• Corridors do not offer direct service for
  neighbouring plots
• Supply spatial coverage in an indirect way
  through other road categories
• During the planning process it is not only the
  direct occupied area that is important, but also
  the indirectly served area. gt
• For an overlapped region the corridor has any
  effect only if there exist an internal provision
  network, that can transmit the services of the
  corridor
• It is not useful to overlap closely parallel
  coverage zones, or built the corridor close along
  a river, lake as in such cases the corridor can
  supply but one side.

19
European perspective ?

• Statements relating the CETC corridor
• There is a need for north-south corridor
• There are more north-south corridors that are
  needed
• The TEN-T is the internal network of the EU-15
  it was promoted in order to serve the external
  competitiveness of the EU
• There wasnt a similar internal overlay network
  planned based on the needs of the EU-27 (X) area

20
European perspective ?

• In domestic transport policy not the principle
  was adopted (the importance of the internal
  networks) but project elements (priority of the
  Trans-European corridors)
• By that way we causelessly emphasised the single
  level of the inter-regional connections from a
  multi-level domestic transport network, (the
  supplier of the external relations) at the
  expense of the inter-city and inter-village
  connections (that was the background of the
  internal domestic relations).
• (1) a mistaken pattern of the corridors
  (east-west dominance) (2) an exaggerated weight
  of the corridors within the levels of the
  transport (3) a mistaken domestic structure,
  an enhancement of the uni-centrality
