Economies of scale The main goal indeveloping corridors is to use the economis recources in a smart way and to offer competittive transport solutions. This must be done given the three pillars of the concept of sustainability. (economic, environmental and social pillar). To reach the goals it is important to make use of technical development and behaviouristic changes is important and a way to make better use of the loading capacity of the system and the infrastructural spendning. Big might not always be beutiful but big is most often efficient when it comes to infrastructural corridors and operations. Technology might help us using the system in an even smarter and more sustainable way. ITS might lead to a more safe system in which comodality play a significant role – all modes must be developed – on their own and in combination. The operations in the corridor and the corridor itself are not to be understood as separate systems. They are mutually depending on eachother.
