GREEN CORRIDORS FIGURE PROMINENTLY IN THE TRA 2012 CONFERENCE         http://www.traconference.eu/
Green corridors figure prominently in the forthcoming Transport Research Arena (TRA 2012) conference in Athens, Greece (April 23-26, 2012).  Three papers will be presented and one special session (Green Corridors in Europe) is organized.

THE SPECIAL SESSION: GREEN CORRIDORS IN EUROPE
Organizer: Laboratory for Maritime Transport, National Technical University of Athens
Moderator: Prof. H. N. Psaraftis, National Technical University of Athens, Greece, Project Manager, SuperGreen project.

Description of the session: Green corridors are an important concept in European freight transport logistics and of EU transport policy in general. They are characterised by a concentration of freight traffic between major hubs and by relatively long distances of transport. Green Corridors should in all ways be environmentally friendly, safe and efficient. Green technologies and a smart utilisation of ICT, where available, can be used improve related Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The purpose of this invited session will be to discuss and debate important issues as regards the concept of green corridors in Europe and outline prospects for the future.

PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT

The purpose of SuperGreen is to promote the development of European freight logistics in an environmentally friendly manner. Environmental facors play an increasing role in all transport modes, and holistic approaches are needed to identify 'win-win' solutions. SuperGreen will evaluate a series of 'green corridors' covering some representative regios and main transport routes throughout Europe.                  More

The European Commission promotes the “Green Corridors” concept in order to improve energy efficiency and to reduce the environmental footprint of the transport sector. Launched at the beginning of 2010, the project SuperGreen will assist the Commission with developing the Green Corridor concept.
