Congested networks cost hundreds of billions of euros per year to the EU Member States affecting the economic, social, and environmental prosperity of the regions. Additionally, recent surveys have shown that approximately 38% of network and traffic management stakeholders in Europe operate in silos, not interacting with other related parties, and only 31% collaborate with other actors without an official contract agreement and operational strategy. This current pattern of isolated operations with occasional impromptu cooperation leads to slow decision-making processes, duplicated efforts, inefficient allocation of resources, lack of accountability and responsibility, and ultimately, incompetent response plans and increased cost of operations. Overall, the network remains congested and unsafe for commuters. |
