Abstract
The rail network model at IVT was used to calculate measures of travel impedance between NUTS3 centroids. The model was improved to spatially cover the Trans-European Network and to ensure basic connectivity of all NUTS3 regions which are reachable in reality by train. The improvements provide realistic aggregate spatial coverage of the TEN. Significant additional improvement of the model in the form of additional train lines is necessary in order to provide realistic routes and impedances on specific OD relations. The options for obtaining improved measures of rail impedance are discussed.
