Regulatory Framework in Public Transport 1 PORTAL Studying Material www.eu-portal.net For the use of the following material: The aim of PORTAL is to accelerate the take up of EU research results in the field of local and regional transport through the development of new education and training courses and teaching materials. The beneficiaries of the project are higher educational institutions. Due to the size and (in some cases) the number of individual projects, it is not possible to explain each single result in detail and include it into these written materials. The following set of material should rather act as a PORTAL and facilitate the access of single projects and detailed results by the lecturers. Therefore the material in hand doesn't lay claim to completeness. Since the expectations of the lecturers regarding these materials are quite diverse - the expectations run the gamut from 'providing a survey of the result of the EU-research to a specific topic' to 'providing special results of a single research-project in detail' -, the attempt has been made to make a compromise and (more or less) come up to the expectations of all user groups. The following compendium contains results of EU research-projects and complementary results of national research-projects. PORTAL thanks the partners and collaborators of the following projects. A complete list of the projects, consortia, and cited literature is given at the end of the material. This material of project results for the topic “Regulatory framework and legislation in public” was compiled by Wilfried Anreiter and Daniel Kampus (both FGM-AMOR; Forschungsgesellschaft Mobilität gemein. GmbH – Austrian Mobility Research) and Malachy Buckeridge (Mendes Ltd.) and Graham Lightfoot (CILTI, The Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport in Ireland) in 2001 and adapted after a workshop with lecturers in 2002.
