    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Quels marchés pour les transports par voies navigables ?
    Keywords: Transport
    Abstract: Despite the fact that the freight transport market in Europe almost doubled in volume over the period 1970 to 1995, growth in the inland waterway sector has remained stagnant. Until now the waterways have primarily been used to transport goods produced by sectors that have been hard hit by industrial restructuring. However, the past does not necessarily hold the key to the future. Waterways can be readily incorporated into logistics chains in which regular supply streams and low transport costs are more important than speed. The transportation of hazardous materials and container transport also offer promising markets. The Round Table identified a number of policy measures which could help to promote development in the inland waterways sector (discontinuation of scrapping policies, support for the grouping of enterprises and the creation of co-operatives, incentives for private-sector investment). Reading the proceedings of this Round Table offers an opportunity to look at the inland waterways in a wholly new light which shows that there is a genuine future for this mode provided that operators are prepared to become entrepreneurs.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. La congestion routière en Europe
    Keywords: Transport
    Abstract: The problems caused by road congestion are frequently reported in the media and finding a solution to congestion ranks high on the agenda of politicians. Countless studies have been published detailing the number of working hours lost in traffic jams. The figures quoted in these studies are alarming and paint an apocalyptic picture of road congestion. However, besides the everyday congestion faced by motorists, differences of opinion are now starting to appear with regard to the scale of the problem and the ways in which it should be tackled. This Round Table attempted to define congestion and to determine the scale of the problem. It addressed the trends in congestion and the consequences of those trends. The Round Table then considered possible solutions to the congestion problem. Considering the extent of this problem in the European context, the Round Table report sheds light on one of the most visible malfunctions of transport systems.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. La séparation infrastructure/exploitation dans les services ferroviaires ; Rapport de la cent-troisième table ronde d'économie des transports tenue à Paris les 13-14 juin 1996
    Keywords: Transport
    Abstract: The separation of infrastructure management from operations is central to efforts under way to reform European railways. But why does Europe favour such separation? What are the expected consequences? What does it mean in practice? What are the advantages and disadvantages? What risks are involved and what are the necessary safeguards? What conclusions do countries already practising separation draw from their experience? Round Table 103 provided an opportunity for experts from all ECMT Member countries and the United States and Japan to get together to discuss experiences of separation to date or plans for it in the future. This publication provides readers with a comprehensive overview of a subject of major importance for the restructuring of European railways.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. The Separation of Operations from Infrastructure in the Provision of Railway Services; Report of the One-Hundred and Third Table on Transport Economics Held in Paris on 13-14 June 1996
    Keywords: Transport
    Abstract: Séparer la gestion des infrastructures et l'exploitation des services est un point essentiel de la réforme ferroviaire en Europe. Mais pourquoi en est-on venu à promouvoir une telle séparation en Europe ? Que peut-on en attendre ? Comment la mettre en pratique ? Quels en sont les avantages, les inconvénients et les risques ? Quelles précautions prendre ? Quel bilan tirent les pays qui ont déjà opéré cette séparation ? La Table Ronde 103 a donné à des experts de tous les pays de la CEMT, mais aussi des États-Unis et du Japon, l'occasion de débattre des expériences ou projets développés dans ce domaine. Cette publication met à la disposition des lecteurs une information complète sur cette question majeure de la restructuration des chemins de fer européens.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Les nouvelles tendances de la logistique en Europe ; Rapport de la cent-quatrième table ronde d'économie des transports tenue à Paris les 3-4 octobre 1996
    Keywords: Transport
    Abstract: Logistics is an issue of major importance not only to companies but also to regions and governments. Complex systems, based on the latest advances in information technology, are now beginning to appear at the interface between transport flow generation and the corresponding aspects of industrial organisation. In response to the globalisation of trade, firms are increasingly tailoring their in-house logistics structures and associated transport operations to meet their own specific needs. The environment is also becoming a key factor in policy decisions. In view of these developments, how will logistics systems evolve in the future? Is the current trend in logistics systems towards greater polarisation or wider dispersion? What role will individual modes of transport play in these systems? Round Table 104 brought together leading European experts on transport and logistics to answer these fundamental questions. This report describes current thinking on anticipated trends in logistics systems.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. New Trends in Logistics in Europe; Report of the One-Hundred and Fourth Round Table on Transport Economics Held in Paris on 3-4 October 1996
    Keywords: Transport
    Abstract: La logistique est un enjeu stratégique majeur pour les entreprises comme pour les régions ou les États. Des systèmes complexes, pilotés par les technologies d'information les plus évoluées, voient le jour pour servir d'interface entre la formation des flux de transport et l'organisation industrielle qui leur est liée. À l'heure de la mondialisation des échanges, il en résulte une forte individualisation des organisations logistiques et une grande spécification des transports associés. L'environnement devient aussi un facteur-clé des décisions politiques. Dans ces conditions, comment les systèmes logistiques évolueront-ils ? Seront-ils polarisés ou au contraire diffus ? Quelle sera la place des différents modes de transport au sein de ces systèmes ? La Table Ronde 104 a rassemblé l'avis des meilleurs experts européens des transports et de la logistique sur ces questions essentielles. Cette publication analyse les évolutions d'ores et déjà prévisibles des systèmes logistiques.
