2. REGIO-GIS Analysis and Transport data
Analysis of the EU regions (NUTS framework)
Transport infrastructure and accessibility issues related to cohesion and competitiveness
Focus on regional data and indicators
Spatial analysis tools to link point / grid / network based data to regions

3. Short-distance flights
Origin/destination data from air transport statistics
Used in combination with airport location and connection length

4. High-speed trains Need for comparable data of high-speed network
Focus on links between cities is appropriate
Number of passengers and passenger-kilometers
Number of trains and train-kilometers
Average travel time
Best travel time

5. High-speed network
Network extent and categorisation should be carefully defined

6. Segments definition for data collection
Segments (e.g. from city to city) should be georeferenced
Minimum: from/to coordinates
Preferably: segment geometry
Segments’ definition should be compatible with the segments defined for Annex G data

7. Analysis of Annex G network related data
Schematically georeferenced data, using the coordinates files provided by the Member States
Some issues with definition and location of the segments

8. Analysis of Annex G network related data: draft results

9. Analysis of Annex G network related data
Promising source for further analysis, also at regional / city level
Segments definition may need some revisions/refinements
Georeferencing of the segments may be improved
