Abstract

Isolation refers to the limited accessibility of certain areas. Physical or other bottlenecks may act as barriers in the communication and transport systems connecting such areas. The Alpine region is a clear example of this phenomenon. Because of its natural conditions, the Alpine region offers only limited options and limited capacity to the transport sector. The geographic location of the mountain range in the middle of Europe separating important economic regions leads to the necessity for commodity flows through only a few corridors in this area. With the rapid increase of freight traffic during the last two decades, it has been difficult to find a satisfactory solution for both overcoming this bottleneck in the European transport network and guaranteeing the Alpine population an acceptable quality of life. Therefore, the problems of this part of the European transport network seem to be one of the most challenging ones to be solved.
