02 a) A detailed definition of the alignment of the corridors The Corridor studies Contents of the studies a) A detailed definition of the alignment of the corridors A detailed definition of the corridor alignment, carried out as the first major element of the studies, has meant: determining precisely the routes, transport nodes and their access links, TEN-T connections in urban nodes, etc… b) A market analysis The analyses have essentially been able to forecast transport trends along the corridors for the different modes until 2030. c) Identification of critical issues and corridor development objectives They include, in particular: the lack of cross-border connections; missing links or bottlenecks on other parts of the corridor; absence or insufficient quality of intermodal connections, etc… d) Project lists Each corridor study includes a list of projects which have been identified on the basis of the experts' analysis and their cooperation with Member States and infrastructure managers. These lists remain preliminary. Source: European Comission, 2015. http.//http://ec.europa.eu/transport/themes/infrastructure/ten-t-guidelines/corridors/corridor-studies_en.htm
