Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to introduce the concept of ‘green corridors’ as a means to develop integrated, efficient and environmentally friendly transportation of freight between major hubs and by relative long distances. The basis of this material is work conducted in the context of the EU SuperGreen project, which aimed at advancing the green corridor concept through a benchmarking exercise involving Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The chapter discusses the available definitions of green corridors and identifies the characteristics that distinguish a green corridor from any other efficient surface transportation corridor. After providing examples of green corridor projects in Europe, it focuses on the KPIs that have been proposed by various projects for monitoring the performance of a freight corridor. Emphasis is given to the SuperGreen KPIs, covering the economic, technical, environmental, social and spatial planning aspects of freight logistics, as they have been scrutinized extensively by stakeholders in order to keep their number within practical and operable limits. In addition, the chapter presents the performance monitoring methodology that was developed by SuperGreen in an effort to close the gap of earlier works. The lessons learned from SuperGreen lead to a revised methodology suitable for monitoring the performance of a corridor.

Fußnoten
1
In the EU transport policy documents, the term co-modality is used to refer to the “use of different transport modes on their own and in combination” in the aim of obtaining “an optimal and sustainable utilization of resources”.
 
2
It should be clarified that the selection of these corridors was made only for the purposes of the SuperGreen project and by no means has this implied any direct or indirect endorsement, either by the SuperGreen consortium or by the European Commission, of these corridors vis-à-vis any other corridor, with respect to any criteria, environmental, economic, or other.
 
3
In cases of policy- and process-benchmarking, quantifiable indicators might need to be complemented by qualitative ones.
 
4
It is worth noting that the flexibility indicator that has been proposed as a KPI earlier in the chapter does not enter the methodology, presumably due to its rather qualitative nature.
 
5
The East-West Transport Corridor II project run in parallel with SuperGreen and a certain degree of cross-fertilization took place between them.
 
6
The author of this chapter has used the Danish National Transport Model (LTM-Lands Trafik Modellen) for applying this methodology to the GreCOR corridor.
