The Report of the applied research TRACC - TRansport ACCessibility at regional/local scale and patterns in Europe - provides an update on the project's objectives, its theoretical framework and the research approach and methodologies to be applied. A TRACC set of accessibility indicators and impact indicators is presented.

The seven macro regions selected for analysing regional accessibility pattern are: EURAM in Spain and France, Northern Italy, Bavaria in Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Baltic Republics and Finland.

Together, they form an arc stretching from the Mediterranean Sea up to the Nordic countries and covering a wide range of different types of regions: core and peripheral areas, inland, coastal, insular, urban and rural territories, densely and sparsely populated areas, flat and mountainous territories.

TRACC shall deliver its Draft Final Report by January 2012. More
