The Weastflows project: Freight transport spatial interactions

and territorial dynamics in North-West

Europe”

Maritime networks in time and space

Workshop ERC – Paris – 16,17,18 juin 2014

*Jean-François MARY (GIS Manager)

*Mathilde MUS (Mapping Coordinator)

OVERVIEW

1 - AURH presentation

2 - The Weastflows project

3 - Spatial analysis of freight interactions

OVERVIEW

Who we are?

Our missions

Town planning and Geography

Observing (the economy, real estate, population,

housing market...)

Territorial projects, planning, local town

planning, masterplan…

Specific thematic studies (urban policy, housing,

commerce, urban transport...)

Prospective studies: Seine Axis, European project..

Different scales of analysis

OVERVIEW

The Weastflows project

• An Interreg IVB North West Europe (NWE)

project (2011-2014)

• Strategic initiative

• Aims: improve and enhance freight

logistics toward sustainability in NWE

• Budget: 9 million €

• 12 actions split in 5 WorkPackages

• 22 partners and more than 30 observers

The Weastflows project is managed by CRITT TL

(France) and IFS (London).

Weastflows Challenge for North-West Europe

Weastflows Challenge for Seine Gateway® in Europe

More than 250 000

geographical objects:

- Ports

- Airports

- Railway stations

- Waterways

- Railways

- Roads

- Ferries

- Etc.

GIS database

(Data repository on freight

infrastructures in NWE)

A GIS database : a starting point

• A web-mapping platform

http://geo.weastflows.eu

• Deliverable 01 of AURH

• Mapping of major North-

West European freight

infrastructures

• Deliverable 02 of AURH

• Quantitative and qualitative analysis of freight infrastructures

• Analysis of the interactions between regions of North West Europe

OVERVIEW

Objectives of the spatial analysis

of freight interactions

• To identify the main area in North-West Europe which are

transmitter / receiver of goods

• To show the interactions between the different region of

North-West Europe

• To be able to qualify the main interactions by type of

transport used (railway, maritime, waterways, roads…) and

to be able to quantify the interactions

Methodology : the matrix

All goods interactions with North-

West Europe are considered 76 x 76 zones

> For the NWE each

country has its own geo

• France : NUTS2

• Irland is the most

detailed

• Germany the less

detailed

> Outside NWE

• Rest of Europe is

splitted into group of

countries

• Outside, it is only

« continent »

3 Units :

• Distance matrix km

• ‘000s Tons

• Million T-km

West Europe are considered

4 modes:

• Roads (2011)

• Rail (2010)

• Inland waterways (2012)

• Maritime (2011)

76 x 76 zones

Methodology : two scales of analysis

Total of

interactions

:5 776

Tables:

2 extends :

• Inside North-West Europe (61 zones)

• Outside North-West Europe (15 zones)

West Europe are considered

NWE : 7, 7 million kT • 5,8 millions kT inside

• 1,9 millions kT outside

Total of Interactions by GeoZone Results:

Localisation of interactions Results:

Distribution of Interactions by mode Results:

Major interactions inside NWE Results:

Major maritime interactions inside NWE Results:

Major maritime interactions inside NWE Results: Major maritime interaction intra NWE (mode maritime) 41 flows > 1 million Tons (2011)

Major maritime interactions inside NWE Results:

Conclusion

• First work / First Exploration

• Tons-kilometers to be used

• Re-use these data as freight demande

to identify major freight routes

• Maritime routes : can you help us?

• To go further for Seine Gateway

(NUTS 3 or better, good types)
