FBL Freeport of Budapest Logistics

The Saxon State Ministry for Regional Development is the leading partner of the whole project and similarly as other partners, is developing the Corridor Capitalisation Plans. Within their pilot action, they are working on a study Mapping of accessibility of the ports of Saxony and the Ústí region.

The smart traffic managment system includes the automatic access and tradic control system for road vehicles at Budapest Dock Freeport Logistics and Industry Park. The final set-up was launched in September 2020. The assessment phase is now underway and will last for 6 months.

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.

The aim was to examine the possibilities of transport development in Slovakia, especially of the railway network, and to identify suitable transport terminals. Scenarios have been developed for what the situation in the South-West Slovakia will look like in 2030, 2050 a 2070.

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.

Despite the current situation regarding the coronavirus crisis, the CORCAP project still continues. The third partner meeting took place on 10-11 June and was held in digital form. 

The Freeport of Budapest Logistics has elaborated the logical and physical design of the smart traffic management system, specified the work plan and milestones of implementation and identified possible hardware and software solutions.

The CORCAP partners met for the second time to discuss the project progress. The meeting was connected with the first meeting of the Advisory Board to which the project and pilot activities have been presented.

The CORCAP project doesn't start from zero. It is built on previous projects dealing with the topic of OEM corridor. The problematics of OEM corridor is described in following Transport Market Study.

The kick-off meeting was held on 19th - 21st June 2019 in Budapest. Partners from 4 countries met for the first time and discussed several topics.

Part of the meeting was a city sightseeing around Budapest. On the second day partners visited Freeport of Budapest Logistics which gave interesting information about the port and logistics. Now the project can start!
