Well-functioning passenger and freight links are vital for European undertakings and citizens. The efforts of the European Union and its member states are aiming at fostering clean, safe and efficient travel throughout Europe, underpinning the internal market of goods and the right of citizens to travel freely throughout the EU.
Given the strong pressure on the main corridors, the accelerated integration of the European economies, the steadily increasing passenger and freight transport and the considerable costs of transport infrastructure, transport has been for many years in the focus of the joint political efforts aiming at a sustainable development of the alpine space.
The transport system of the Alps has to fulfil a multitude of functions. Its infrastructure is used by the different economic sectors of the Alpine area to exchange goods within and beyond the Alpine region. Furthermore, due to its central geographical position the transport system in the Alpine area has a vital role in the transit of passenger and freight from north to south and east to west. Approx. 200 Mio tonnes of freight and 100 Mio passengers are transported annually by road and rail across the Alpine Arc.
Various severe incidents in tunnels having occurred in the recent past as well as the preparation for rare, but intensive natural disasters, such as seismic activities have revealed that there exists the strong need to enhance the transnational cooperation in the field transport crisis management constituting an outstanding challenge for the security and emergency authorities acting in the area of the Alpine space.
The recently approved project TranSAFE-Alp aims at capitalizing from innovative decision making tools already developed in the frame of previous Interreg projects for the creation of an integrated ICT-share area necessary for the development and implementation of joint support and coordinated intervention plans as used by Civil Protection and Transport Operators. A replicable decision-making shared area called JITES (Joint Integrated ICT-Technologies for Emergency and Security -management) will enable the collection of real-time data on critical transport segments in the Alpine Space Transport network essential for the generation of critical intervention scenarios. JITES will offer an innovative simulation environment allowing the testing of the efficiency and timeliness of traffic, security and communication management systems including emergency plans implemented by infrastructure operators and Civil Protection Operative Centres.
