The TEN-T corridor Orient/ East-Med connects Central and South-East Europe. A crucial bottleneck of emerging relevance is the Dresden-Prague section, which needs to be extended by a new railway line to improve the connectivity between German seaports and destinations in particular in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Hungary.
To capitalise the opportunities of the infrastructure investment for multi-modal environmentally friendly freight, the Free State of Saxony teamed up with partners from Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. Realizing activities aimed at better coordination among stakeholders in the field of transport and spatial planning, the partners will contribute to the creation of an environment for more efficient rail freight in Central Europe.
To achieve the objectives of the project the partners will develop “Corridor Capitalisation Plans” to facilitate the interaction of regional development and transport infrastructure development. These plans, which will have a planning horizon corresponding to the perspective of realization of the new railway line Dresden-Prague, will demonstrate how an intensively used corridor affects regional development and logistics, and which contributions made on regional level will strengthen the corridor and its functionality.
As informal instrument, “Corridor Capitalisation Plans” address existing planning levels and instruments in the field of transport and logistics, regional development and spatial planning on local, regional, national and transnational (partly macroregional) level, thus contributing to multi-level governance.
To demonstrate the shortterm benefits of better accessibility and connectivity and to underline the added value of the strategic infrastructure investment, practical steps towards more sustainable freight transport will be taken through pilot activities. These are aimed the following issues:

The new Plan will enable faster train connection from Prague and Dresden to as many regional centres as possible, improve capacity and quality of the infrastructure for the needs of rail freight transport and intermodal transport. It will also secure conditions for Transit Oriented Development around railway stations in regional centres benefiting from faster train connection.

All freight transport passing through the OEM corridor has to pass through the territory of the South Moravian Region. Therefore, the pilot activity is focused on research on number of trucks passing through the region of South Moravia. We carried out questioning on motorway rest areas; special methodology was used, not only counting but even interviewing drivers.

GYSEV is responsible for preparing the study “General system approach for low-cost improvements for rail freight”. It contains following structure: market requirements and challenges in European rail freight, small scale low-cost infrastructure improvements in the context of rail freight development, measures for small-scale low-cost infrastructure improvement and better inclusion of rail freight in regional and spatial planning.

The fourth partner meeting took place on 3-4 September in Brno. Unfortunately, due to restrictions related to the covid pandemic, some partners were unable to attend the meeting in person so they participated online. The project progress and relevant topics regarding the partners pilot actions have been discussed.
