Project description:
The ACCESSMILE project helps to solve the poor last-mile accessibility of rural and peripheral areas to the main TEN-T freight hubs. This challenge particularly affects shippers from Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, Hungary, Germany and Poland.
In fact, they are affected by multimodal transport inefficiencies, lower economic growth, and higher transport-related air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions compared to regional centers.
To change this, cooperation is central, as the questions to be answered are common and cover operational topics that cannot be addressed locally due to the global nature of traffic flows.
This is why cooperation between carriers representing key players in the logistics chain, each of which contributes to the overall efficiency of multimodal connectivity, is essential to improve the last-mile accessibility of rural and peripheral areas to the main TEN-T hubs and to strengthen territorial cohesion.
To this end, we focus on digitization, the development of medium- and long-term planning tools, and the testing of IT tools in our areas, enabling the establishment of common standards.
We begin by comparing the current state of our regions with available best practices, then create strategy and action plans for the following three IT topics:
We then jointly test them in result-oriented experimental activities (pilot actions) at different locations, compare our results, draw related lessons and find solutions, so that the results can be replicated in other regions.
As a result, transport stakeholders will experience a concrete improvement in the efficiency of last-mile connectivity to rural and peripheral areas already during the project's duration.
In the three years of the project, we expect to establish a joint cooperation and development path in order to improve the last-mile connections of the rural and peripheral regions of Central Europe with the TEN-T in the medium and long term and to strengthen territorial cohesion.
