4. Main COMMUTE Objectives
to define a methodology for strategic assessment of the impacts of EU transport policy options
to develop a computer software that embodies the main aspects of the methodology
to demonstrate the validity of the main aspects of the methodology and the performance of connected software
to assess the impacts on energy consumption, emissions and safety of TEN-T (pilot SEA)

5. COMMUTE TOOL RESULTS
energy, emissions, noise and safety across transport modes in each cell of the network
network approach (cells = links and nodes)
different spatial scales (regional, national, european)
time horizon up to 2020
GIS-based (Map-Info)
flexible evaluation of results

11. Pilot SEA: Assessment of Impacts of Transport Trans-European Networks
Objective: estimate impacts in 2010 for four cases:
All TEN-T (all modes, with policy measures)
No TEN-T (current networks)
two policy scenarios: Reference and Common Transport Policies (Policies Harmonisation)
