National Transport Model for Greece

The fundamental objective of this task within the NTPG preparation is to develop a strategic macroscopic transport model covering the whole of Greece (nationwide) and including also external zones. The model allows for assessing movements between the major cities, being the main traffic generators and attractors, but also traffic entering or leaving the country at key border locations and through the international ports or airports.

The purpose of the National Transport Model of Greece is to prove as an effective tool that can support the analysis of existing and future traffic flows of passengers/freight by transport mode, on different networks, in conditions of different infrastructural, economic and charging regimes. Furthermore, this model is the basis to identify and develop strategies to alleviate the shortcomings of the current transport system and to develop the future transport system in a converging direction of meeting future demand and promoting the economic and social development of the country without compromising its sustainability.

The model is used to identify specific measures and projects for the different transport modes and their integration supporting the selected strategies. Both the individual measures and the complete strategies can be tested with the National Transport Model.
