1. A draft introduction to WP 5 Dr. Algirdas Šakalys

2. WP 5 “Knowledge development”

3. WP 5 Strategic focus and results Focus: Develop advanced simulation tools and visualization of results to support the decision process Planned results: - description of best practice; - improvement of understanding how multimodal transport system works; - understanding how the performance of corridor transport system responds to system changes (e.g. improvements in infrastructure information exchanges, synchronized planning).

4. WP 5 shall improve academic cooperation and the business development with high quality recommendations for improvement of intermodal transport concepts in the corridor in line with the overall objective of East-West project

5. WP5 relations with other WP’s WP 5 – knowledge development WP 4 – business and logistics development WP1 – Intermodal transport corridor development strategy Input to sustainable development strategy Scenario and concepts for simulation Results from simulation and benchmarking Telematic application Requirements on applications Goals WP 2– ITS Input to WP1
