Abstract

Economic and logistical changes have led to considerable growth in goods traffic for several decades. Resulting congestion on some networks, increasingly present environmental concerns and a context of public finance scarcity make infrastructure capacity and optimisation a major challenge over coming decades. The work described in this document, controlled by the Setra, constitutes a methodological guide aimed at evaluating relevant parameters for characterising and assessing the capacity of different freight networks within each transport mode. It is intended for non-specialists in charge of analysing and clarifying prospective decisions concerning transport systems and services or conducting upstream studies of various alternatives. The main lessons derived for each transport mode are presented afterexplaining the context and objectives of the guide. For the covering abstract see ITRD E139491.
