ORIGAMI 7FP Consortium, TRI, Mcrit et al., 2012
The ORIGAMI 7FP project is concerned with improvements in long-distance door-to-door passenger transport chains through improved co-modality and intermodality. The project addresses the potential for greater efficiency and reduced environmental impact of passenger transport by judicious encouragement of dervice and mode integration, cooperation and, where appropriate, competition in the provision of these local connections. Thus the project encompasses physical characteristics of the network, characteristics of the modes, the coordination of operators as well as integration, and the cohesiveness of multi-modal networks. The project includes the production of list of best practices, focused on infrastructure, service management and regulatory strategies applied to improve long-distance intermodal and co-modal transport. Selected cases imply significant improvements in long-distance door-to-door passenger transport chains. ORIGAMI case studies are published as a web-directory, following a systematic structure, with links to original information sources and institutions and companies involved. Cases can be browsed using different criteria throughout the different menus on the right hand of this webpage.
