TEN-T network Flashcards
Passenger railway lines on the TEN-T core and extended core network shall allow trains to travel at x km/h or faster by YYYY
Passenger railway lines on the TEN-T core and extended core network shall allow trains to travel at 160 km/h or faster by 2040
The European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) must be rolled out where? as the single European signalling system in Europe to make rail safer and more efficient. Consequently, national legacy name? systems must be decommissioned progressively; this will incentivise European industry to invest in ERTMS
The European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) must be rolled out on the entire TEN-T network as the single European signalling system in Europe to make rail safer and more efficient. Consequently, national legacy ‘class B’ systems must be decommissioned progressively; this will incentivise European industry to invest in ERTMS
Safe and secure parking areas shall be developed on the core and extended core road network of the TEN-T by YYYY, on average every X km. This is key to assuring safety and appropriate working conditions for professional drivers.
Safe and secure parking areas shall be developed on the core and extended core road network of the TEN-T by 2040, on average every 150 km. This is key to assuring safety and appropriate working conditions for professional drivers.
Major airports, dealing with more than X passengers annually, will have to be connected by ?, a major step towards improving connectivity and accessibility for passengers and strengthening the competitiveness of rail vis-a-vis domestic flights.
Major airports, dealing with more than 12 million passengers annually, will have to be connected by long-distance rail, a major step towards improving connectivity and accessibility for passengers and strengthening the competitiveness of rail vis-a-vis domestic flights.
The number of what? terminals must develop in line with the current and expected traffic flows and the needs of the sector. Equally what? at freight terminals must improve. This, as well as allowing the circulation of x m trains across the network, will help shift more freight onto more sustainable transport modes and give a push to Europe’s combined transport sector (the use of combinations such as rail-road to move freight).
The number of transhipment terminals must develop in line with the current and expected traffic flows and the needs of the sector. Equally handling capacity at freight terminals must improve. This, as well as allowing the circulation of 740m trains across the network, will help shift more freight onto more sustainable transport modes and give a push to Europe’s combined transport sector (the use of combinations such as rail-road to move freight).
All x major cities along the TEN-T network will have to develop what? to promote zero and low emission mobility and to increase and improve what?.
All 430 major cities along the TEN-T network will have to develop Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans to promote zero and low emission mobility and to increase and improve public transport and infrastructure for walking and cycling.
The what? aims to integrate the maritime space with other transport modes efficiently, viably and sustainably. For this purpose, which? routes will be upgraded and new ones will be created, while maritime ports will be further developed as well as their which? connections.
The European Maritime Space aims to integrate the maritime space with other transport modes efficiently, viably and sustainably. For this purpose, short-sea shipping routes will be upgraded and new ones will be created, while maritime ports will be further developed as well as their hinterland connections.
In addition, transport links with neighbouring third countries will be improved by integrating who? into the newly established European Transport Corridors.
In addition, transport links with neighbouring third countries will be improved by integrating Ukraine, Moldova as well as the six Western Balkan partners into the newly established European Transport Corridors.
To assure the timely completion of the network – by yyyy for the core network, yyyy for the extended core network, and yyyy for the comprehensive network – this agreement also includes better governance, with for instance implementing acts for the what? along the how many? European Transport Corridors.
To assure the timely completion of the network – by 2030 for the core network, 2040 for the extended core network, and 2050 for the comprehensive network – this agreement also includes better governance, with for instance implementing acts for the main cross-border sections and other specific national sections along the nine European Transport Corridors.
Member states will decide how to prioritise projects of common interest in line with what
Member states will decide how to prioritise projects of common interest in line with realistic technical and priority requirements
The new intermediary deadline of 2040 was introduced to advance the completion of large-scale, mainly cross-border projects, such as what?, ahead of the 2050 deadline that applies to the wider, comprehensive network
The new intermediary deadline of 2040 was introduced to advance the completion of large-scale, mainly cross-border projects, such as missing rail connections, ahead of the 2050 deadline that applies to the wider, comprehensive network
What will ensure coherence when priorities are set for infrastructure and investment.
A greater alignment between national transport and investment plans and TEN-T objectives
Member States with an existing rail network with a track gauge different from that of the European standard nominal track gauge of how long? shall carry out an assessment, by when?, identifying the existing railway lines located on the European Transport Corridors in view of their possible migration to the European standard. The assessment shall be coordinated with the neighbouring Member States in the case of cross-border sections and include a what? and an assessment of the impact on interoperability.
Member States with an existing rail network with a track gauge different from that of the European standard nominal track gauge of 1 435 mm shall carry out an assessment, by 19 July 2026, identifying the existing railway lines located on the European Transport Corridors in view of their possible migration to the European standard. The assessment shall be coordinated with the neighbouring Member States in the case of cross-border sections and include a socio-economic cost-benefit analysis and an assessment of the impact on interoperability.
Which? roads will be specially designed, built or upgraded for motor traffic providing separate carriage ways for the two directions of traffic, separated from each other by a dividing strip not intended for traffic or, exceptionally, by other means
All core and extended core network roads will be specially designed, built or upgraded for motor traffic providing separate carriage ways for the two directions of traffic, separated from each other by a dividing strip not intended for traffic or, exceptionally, by other means
The should be at least one what? per urban node by yyyy, where economically viable.
The should be at least one multimodal freight terminal per urban node by 31 December 2040, where economically viable.
