Amber Coast Logistics WP3 - Flow of Goods and institutional / legal aspects especially relevant for low accessibility areas

Introduction by WP3 Coordinator

Michael Stie Laugesen

Ventspils, February 14th 2012

Association of Danish Transport and Logistics Centres

Aim The overall aim of Work Package 3 is to determine strategic aspects for

improving internal and external accessibility in the Amber Coast

region, thus improving the efficiency of logistics services in the region,

and creating seamless transport solutions between the Baltic Sea

Region countries and the neighbours Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan

and potentially onto the other Central Asian Republics.

14.02.2012 Presentation Amber Coast Logistics 2


Activities in WP3 Activities will include the composing of policy recommendations, actions

plans and strategic guidelines for increasing accessibility in the Baltic

Sea Region and will be supplemented by an exchange programme for

capacity building, involving all partners. The composed materials will

provide valuable inputs for workshops, stakeholder meetings and

conferences held as part of the Amber Coast Logistics project and can also

give important inputs and advice to policy makers at regional and

national authorities within the field of goods transportation.



Management tool WP 3 Information Bulletin



WP3 Activity 3.1 - Effect of EU regulations on transport organisations/flows Aim: To keep up-to-date with latest EU transport policies and transfer the findings and

updates to project partners on a regular basis through a permanent working group.

Description: As the latest EU regulations on transport organisation and flows have major

impact on the transport agenda, a continuous monitoring of latest relevant EU

policies, mainly EU transport policies, EU cohesion policies and the EU Neighbourhood

Action Plan are important to keep informed about the stages these developments are at.

This activity will ensure that the latest policies are taken into consideration when

communicating and discussing project findings and results with the transport industry.

Activity 3.2 Overview and Tasks Aim: To access potentials for further integrating the countries BY-RU-KZ-UA into

trade relations with EU Description: To analyse potentials for Trade Union countries to further integrate into

trade relations with EU. Activities will include an assessment of current flows of goods, a forecast and a strategy on how to strengthen trade relations in the region. This will be supported by a study of the legal rules governing the system of international road transport in Belarus and developing recommendations for their improvement

Activity 3.3 – Aim and Results Aim: To study various aspects of accessibility seen from five different dimensions:

Physical, Political, Commercial, Technological and Organisational.

Results: Five research papers each focusing on a specific dimension of accessibility

and how this dimensions influence the seamless transport of goods in the BSR. The

papers will be supplemented with comments from stakeholders from the goods transport

industry.

Accessibility – Definitions:


The ability to reach desired services, activities and destinations (collectively called opportunities) – seen as one’s ability to attain desired goods and services; (T. Litman, 2011)

It can be defined in terms of potential (opportunities that could be reached) or in terms of activity (opportunities that are reached); (T. Litman, 2011)

The main 'product' of a transport system, determining the locational advantage of an area relative to all areas (including itself); (TRACC Interim Report, 2011)

Construct of two functions, one representing the objective (activities or opportunities) to be reached and one representing the effort (time, distance or cost) needed to reach them (Bökemann, 1982).

The potential for interaction and exchange (Hansen 1959; Engwicht 1993).


Mobility – Definitions:


The ease with which an individual can transport itself away from a given

point by using different means of transportation (walking, bike, car,

truck, ship, train, plane, etc.)

Refers to physical movement and can be measured in time, cost, etc.

The efficient movement of people and goods that is seen as beneficial, or with a specific

purpose, to reach something;

“An automobile is a machine for mobility. A city is a machine for accessibility.” (Levinson,

Krizek and Gillen, 2005)

Organisational Aspects

Measuring Accessibility - Verifiable indicators I


Time - the amount of time travel required to deliver goods and services to a destination – directly affects costs – Economic impacts.

Cost – the amount of money required to deliver goods and services to a destination – directly affected by time; infrastructure construction and maintenance – Economic impacts.

Percentage of delayed deliveries – queuing time + other delays – may affect the goods and quality and services, directly affects time and costs – Economic impacts.

Percentage of damaged goods - risk of damage occurring during loading/unloading goods and during transportation of goods to a destination – directly affected by delays in deliveries and time, infrastructure conditions.

Population/job density - number of people or jobs per unit of land area – Social and Economic impact.


Measuring Accessibility - Verifiable indicator II


GDP per capita - the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period (includes transportation of goods and services, investments in transport & infrastructure, etc.) – Economic impacts.

Imports & exports – the amount of goods and services imported/exported within a country’s borders – Economic Impacts.

Energy consumption – the amount of energy that the transport of goods and services requires – affected by time, transport mode and distance and directly affects costs – Economic required and environmental impacts.

Greenhouse gas emission – mutual sustainable development, affected by energy consumption - Environmental Impacts.

Social inclusion/exclusion – employment restrictions, free movement of labor, poverty – Social and Economic Impacts.
