Overview
The coordinating position allows aligning research activities of the research bundle as to timing and content. The coordinator provides the results of the individual research projects to the various commissions as well as to the research stations in a timely manner.
The research bundle "intermodal traffic influencing" is a comprehensive traffic planning process that covers all means of transportation and provides the required fundamentals and norms. The research bundle includes 17 research projects and is divided into the focal points of basic research and applied research with focus on traffic engineering. The research bundle with its individual projects is part of the general SVI research projects of 2007 – 2012 and, respectively, the multi-year program 2008 – 2011 of ASTRA for the projects under the leadership of the VSS.
The financial need of the bundle is around CHF 2.1 million of which CHF 2 million is allocated to the actual research and approximately CHF 100,000 to the coordination of the research content including the completion of the synthesis report.
