The European Weastflows project (INTERREG IVB program for North-West Europe) scheduled
to run for four years (2011 - 2014) is designed to improve freight transport and the associated
logistics in North-West Europe and to ease the congestion in the ports on the Northern Range
and on the traditional North-South sea routes by:
• encouraging a modal shift from the use of road transport to more sustainable modes (rail,
short sea and river transport);
• promoting the flow of goods on a West-East axis.
Jointly led by the Transport & Logistics Regional Centre for Innovation and Technology
Transfer (CRITT) in Le Havre and the Institute for Sustainability (IFS) in London, the project
involves 22 european partners, including the Town Planning Agency of Le Havre and Seine
Estuary Area (AURH) and thirty observers. The project covers seven countries: Germany,
Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
As the leader of the action «Assessment of sustainable transport capacity», AURH is
responsible for mapping and analysing the transport infrastructures for North-West Europe, by:
• constructing the geographic database identifying and describing the transport infrastructure;
• analysing the organisation of the infrastructure network;
• identifying the blocking points on existing corridors that prevent the development of freight
transport;
• identifying the infrastructure projects and corridors or alternative routes to be developed
in order to improve the movement of goods on a West-East axis.
This document is the result of close cooperation between the european partners of Weastflows
project. It is the first deliverable of AURH.
The atlas, presents an inventory of the existing or projected transportation infrastructures in
North-West Europe (covering all types of infrastructure and all types of goods), thereby giving
an initial overview of the organisation of the transport system for goods in North-West Europe.
It provides, first of all, background maps on the scale of North-West Europe outlining the key
demographic and economic characteristics of the region, and an initial description of the port
flows involved.
This contextual approach is then complemented by a selection of maps showing the
infrastructures for each mode of transport and the associated development projects.
Finally, the regional maps complete the atlas by focusing on the organisation of transport
networks in the areas of interest of each partner.
The document is closely linked to the Geographic Information System (GIS) built by the AURH
team for the Weastflows project. The maps are based on dynamic data that will be updated
and enriched through to the end of the project. The atlas is by nature scalable. Thanks to
this system and the involvement of the partners, the latter will be able to share the same data
repository, thus providing a common working basis for the entire project.
A dynamic version of the atlas is available through the GeoWeastflows interactive mapping
tool developed by the Henri Tudor Public Research Centre (a Weastflows partner) in
conjunction with AURH. Initially limited to the Weastflows partnership, GeoWeastflows will
be made available to the public in November 2013 for consultation at the following address:
http://geo.weastflows.eu
In addition, the atlas will provide the starting point for discussions about the creation of
a West-East corridor for the transport of goods in Europe. AURH will publish three other
deliverables by 2014: an analysis showing the characteristics of the transport system, an
analysis with identification of the congestion or blocking points constituting an obstacle to the
development of sustainable freight transport, and a forward-looking analysis of the regional
recommendations designed to optimise the flow of goods and encourage the modal shift.

Weastflows: observers localisation
Observers are organisations that may have an advisory capacity in the project. They are not considered as «formal» partners and should not be listed as such in the Application Form.
Observers are selected on the basis of their ability to provide strategic guidance as and when appropriate and to promote the project through their own networks.

European scale
This scale is used to make contextual maps with global european data at national level.
North-West european scale
The North-West european scale deals with the Weastflow’s project area. It is the reference scale for the data collection. These data are formated on the GIS database.
Regional scale
This scale is used to make maps about the different areas of interest for each partner.
To understand the atlas: cartography, map features and map scales
A map
Map features
«A map is a symbolised image of geographic reality, representing selected features or characteristics, resulting from the creative efforts of cartographers, and designed for use when spatial relationships are special relevance.» (Michael Wood, 1993).
Base map elements
A base map provides the background reference informations such as boundaries, coastline, water, on which other thematic information will be placed. North-West Europe Area Other european country Country boundary NUTS 2 boundary NUTS 3 boundary Coastline
Color code
To have a graphic consistency in the whole atlas, we used a color code for each type of infrastructure. Road sector Ferry sector Maritime sector Railway sector River sector TEN-T data
Main Infrastructures features
For each type of transport infrastructure, we choose one specific element. The nodal infrastructure is represented by a ponctual element and the network infrastructure is represented by a linear element.

▲ Inland port
 Seaport
 Railway station Main transport network

Graduated color maps
These types of maps utilize a color progression from clear to dark in order to visualize easily the evolution of a relative statistic data in a geographic area.
Interpolation maps
In terms of colour progression, it is the same process as the graduated colour maps but the interpolation maps provide continuous data without boundary effect.
Please refer to the methodological notes about interpolation (methodological notes, part E).
Distributive maps
Distributive maps show geographic information without making a hierarchy between the different elements.
Graduated symbol maps
Graduated symbol maps use a size variation of an object in order to highlight statistic raw data.
Infrastructure maps
Infrastructure maps provide an overview of different features of transport collected for the Weastflows project.
Type of statistic data
Type of map corresponding
To understand the atlas: statistic and map types
Statistic and data
According to different types of statistic data, various cartographic representations have to be used.
Basically, we could make a distinction between two main types of statistics: the quantitative data and the qualitative data.
Quantitative data
Quantitative data correspond to numerical variable.To make a map, the distinction between the different type of quantitative data leads to the use of different graphical representations.
We can distinguish two types of quantitative data: the raw data and the comparative data.
Raw data
The raw data correspond to elementary data which have not been processed. They are expressed in numbers.
Comparative data
The comparative data highlight a comparison between a specific unit and the entire group to which it corresponds. It is a ration like a density or a percentage. Graduated color maps
Interpolation maps Gratuated symbol maps
Qualitative data
Qualitative data correspond to unquantificable data, like category and characteristic.

Label on the map
Methodology for the selection
For the base map, we decided to do a selection of the most important cities in North-West Europe to draw an overview of the urban geography of this area.
Here we have the explanation of this selection.
Identification of european capital cities
According to the various scale of the maps, we decided to select all the european capital cities beyond the boundaries of North-West european area.
Identification of other cities
According to the scale of the map, we decided to select all the most important cities just for North-West european area. For the three countries which are split by the North-West european boundaries, France, Germany and Netherland, we considered the entire country.
Identification of «world cities»
We selected countries with more than one million inhabitants.
Identification of «main cities»
We selected countries with a population between 350 000 and 1 million inhabitants.
Identification of «port cities»
We make a relationship between the city and the port traffic in order to identify the main port cities.
We lack of traffic data for inland port. Consequently, we try to select the most important cities which have an inland port.
Results and representation
Results:
Number of cities in the database: 119
whose 20 are «capital»;
6 are «world cities»;
24 are «main cities»;
69 are «port cities».
Representation:
The layer of city will be present on different maps as a layer of basic information.
Consequently we decided, on the map, to distinguish the european capitals on the one hand, and on the other hand the other cities.
The «world cities», the «main cities» and the «port cities» are put together in the same group. C

To understand the european specificity: NUTS and TEN-T network
What is a NUTS?
Level of NUTS
The acronym NUTS means Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics.
The aim of this nomenclature (established by Eurostat) is to have a single territorial division of european territory in order to build a common statistic system. With this common system, Eurostat can collect, develop and harmonize european data.
There are three hierarchical levels of NUTS. Each european state (which can considered level NUTS 0) is subdividing in a number of regions at NUTS 1 level. Each NUTS 1 is subdivided into regions at NUTS 2 level, themselves subdivided into regions at NUTS 3 level.
To compare the regional statistics, the NUTS region needs to be homogeneous in terms of size and population. Consequently, the NUTS definition is especially based on the administrative units of each member state and according to population thresholds.
The geography of NUTS region evolves regularly. To guarantee a stability of statistic data, there is a period of consolidation of three years without any change. For Weastflows project, we work with the NUTS 2006 nomenclature.
Country / NUTS 0

NUTS 1
Major socio-economic regions
Population by NUTS:
Between 3 millions and 7 millions
Corresponding administrative units:
The «gewesten/régions» in Belgium.

The «arrondissements» in Belgium.
The «kreise/kreisfreie städte» in Germany.
The «départements» in France.
The «regional authority regions» in Irland.
What is TEN-T?
The TEN-T Network
The acronym TEN-T means Trans-European Transport Network.
The Trans-European Transport Network Executive Agency (TEN-T EA) was created in 2006 to implement and manage the TEN-T program on behalf of the European Commission in order to improve the efficiency and the accessibility of european transport network.
Establishing an efficient Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) is a key elements of european strategy, both from an economic point of view that a social one, to allow an efficient circulation of goods and people between member states and to ensure international connections, by building missing links and removing bottlenecks. To achieve this objective the European Commission identified a strategic network that focuses investments.
In this contexte, there is two level of network designed by TEN-T as priority axes of investments:
-the «CORE network» is the most strategic axes and strategic nodes for improving the trans-european network. It has to be completed by 2030;
-the «Comprehensive network» complete the CORE Network to ensure a high level of accessibility of all european regions. The comprehensive network will be completed by 2050.
Atlas of major North-West European freight infrastructures - June 2013D

As the map shows, the data are traditionally represented in the limit of administrative boundaries. In the case of density, the reference area is NUTS 3 region.
To make a map with interpolation, the first step is to report the data to the center point of the administrative surface. Here the data are reported on the center of each NUTS 3 region.
For every cell, there is a specific calcul which evaluates the value of neighbour points based on their distance.
This calculation takes into account the continuous information and the maritime discontinuity of the maritime area.
A grid is applied on the map. The cell resolution (1 square kilometer here) allows to have a finer graphic representation of the data. The smaller the grid, the better the cartographic results.
The result is the dispatching of data in the territory according to distance of each value from each other.

North-West Europe area: urban geography
The aim of this map is to have a first overview of
the urban geography of North-West Europe area,
more precise than the cities choice for the base map
(methodological notes, part C).
By locating the area of major or minor population,
we can have a first idea of the most important areas
where consumation, employment and production
have a major or a minor importance.
Firstly, we decided to select the cities which have a
population over 45 000 inhabitants in order to avoid
overloading the map. In the database we have
retained 178 cities in North-West Europe.
According to the distribution of the data, they are split
into four classes.
The first class represents the smallest cities of our
area of interest in terms of population: from 45 000
inhabitants up to 145 000. There are 78 cities in this
case.
The second class groups 76 cities whose populations
are split between 145 000 and 450 000 inhabitants.
There are 19 cities in the third class between 450 000
and 1 million inhabitants.
Finally, the most important cities in this database are
in the fourth class whose exceed 1 million inhabiants.
There are five cities over 1 million: Birmingham,
London, Paris, Brussel, Koln.

North-West Europe area: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per inhabitant
The gross domestic product is a general indicator to
assess the economic activity of an area of interest.
This indicator allows us to distinguis the dynamic
economy of the North-West Europe area.
Eurostat definition of Gross Domestic Product:
«Gross domestic product (GDP) is a measure for
the economic activity. It is defined as the value of
all goods and services produced less the value of
any goods or services used in their creation. The
volume index of GDP per capita in Purchasing
Power Standards (PPS) is expressed in relation to
the European Union (EU-27) average set to equal
100. If the index of a country is higher than 100, this
country’s level of GDP per head is higher than the EU
average and vice versa. Basic figures are expressed
in PPS, i.e. a common currency that eliminates the
differences in price levels between countries allowing
meaningful volume comparisons of GDP between
countries» (Source: data description from Eurostat).

North-West Europe area: degree of population density
Population density is a demographic indicator that
draws the space occupation by population. With
the help of this indicator, we can easily identify the
concentration of population or the scatter.
Eurostat defined population density as «the ratio
between (total) population and surface (land) area.»
This ratio can be calculated for any territorial unit
for any point in time, depending on the source of
the population data (Source: data description from
Eurostat). Statistically, this ratio expresses the
number of inhabitants per square kilometer.
We used an interpolation map to express the density
data.
Please refer to the methodological note about
interpolation (methodological notes, part E).

North-West Europe area: degree of surface dedicated to industry and transport
The two maps express a territorial density of infrastructure: transport and industry. The density is always a ratio between one element existing on the territory and the size of a territorial unit.
The aim of these two maps is to highlight the infrastructure dedicated to transport or to industry in Europe.
The first step to measure this information is to collect two surface indicators: the surface dedicated to infrastructure of transport and the surface dedicated to industry. We collected this data with the help of an european
geographic database called Corine Land Cover. This database makes an inventory of land use on an european scale and produces information about artificial surfaces (urban, industrial, commercial and transport units...),
agricultural areas, forests and wetlands. With the help of the Geographic Information System, we can mesure the area (in square meters) of each type of use listed in the database. About transport infrastructure: Corine
Land Cover includes the road and rail networks and associated land, the port areas and the airports. About industry: Corine Land Cover includes the industrial and commercial units, and the mineral extraction sites. The
second step to finalize the calcul of the density infrastructure indicator is to measure the ratio between the surface dedicated to transport or industry by total surface ot the territorial unit of reference (NUTS 3).
The results gave us the area in square meters dedicated to transport infrastructure or to industry infrastructure. Finally, to make the map, we used the process of interpolation as for population density (methodological
notes, part E).

7 Europe: modal split of freight transport by inland waterways, rail and road in 2010
Coments
«This indicator is defined as the percentage share of each mode of transport in total inland freight transport performance. The transport modes considered are: a) road, b) rail and c) inland waterways. The measurement
unit is tonne-kilometre, that is, one tonne transported over a distance of one kilometre.
Inland freight transport includes road, rail and inland waterways:
- rail and inland waterways transport are based on movements on national territory (‘territoriality principle’), regardless of the nationality of the vehicle or vessel,
- road transport is based on all movements of vehicles registered in the reporting country.»
(source: Metadata Eurostat)
These data allow us to have a first overview of the modal split for each transport mode at a national scale.

The share of short sea and deep sea shipping allows us to have an idea of the type of maritime transport use for freight in total sea transport. Regarding to the other type of shipping, these data seem to correspond to coastal shipping even if Eurostat
doesn’t make any precisions.
According to Eurostat glossary:
«Short sea shipping, abbreviated as SSS, is the maritime transport of goods over relatively short distances, as opposed to the intercontinental cross-ocean deep sea shipping. In the context of European Union (EU) transport statistics, it is defined as
maritime transport of goods between ports in the EU-27 (sometimes also including candidate countries and EFTA countries) on one hand, and ports situated in geographical Europe, on the Mediterranean and Black Seas on the other hand. Deep sea
shipping refers to the maritime transport of goods on intercontinental routes, crossing oceans; as opposed to short sea shipping over relatively short distances».
For Nort-West Europe Area, we can observe the importance of short sea shipping for Ireland and and for scandinavian country. France, United Kingdom, Belgium and Germany are in the middle class. Netherlands have a low share of short sea shipping
rather than the other european country of Weastflows area. In terms of deep sea shipping, Germany, Belgium and Netherlands have a dominant position comparatively to France, Ireland and United Kingdom.

Coments
The aim of this map is to have a first overview of the
maritime organization of our area of interest and to
localize the most important maritime regions in terms
of freight in Weastflows area.
We distinguised three main coastlines in North-West
Europe: the North range, the British Isles coastline
and the Atlantic coastline.
The indicator «Total goods loaded and unloaded
by NUTS 2 region in thousands of tons» highlights
the importance of maritime freight transport for each
european region. The concentration of high level of
traffic in the North range underscore the dynamism
of this coastline in North-West Europe followed by
the British Isles coastline. Compared with the two
previous coastlines, the atlantic coastline is the least
active.

North-West Europe area: container traffic by main port in 2010
To make a map with the container traffic, we have
gathered various sources of data.
The main source is the data provided by the European
Sea Port Organization (ESPO). For United-Kinkdom
ports, we used the data provided by the Department
for Transport of UK. For France, we use the data
provided by the specialized review called Le Marin.
These data gave us an overview of the localization of
main container port of North-West Europe Area.
About the distribution of data, in this case, we can
not provide the minimum of the data because we
gathered on the same groups all container port who
have a little traffic under 100 000 TEU.
Note: data traffic for inland ports are incomplete.

This map offers the first overview of basic port
infrastructure in North-West Europe Area. We can
distinguish the maritime sea ports and the inland
ports.
All the name of ports are not including in the map in
order to avoid superposition problem and unreadable
labelling of each entity.
Even if it’s the map of port infrastructure, we added
on this map the inland waterway network in order to
be coherent with the localization of inland ports.

The main source of the data mapped here are
provided by the World Port Index of National
Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and FleetMon.com.
If there is further terminal by port with different
channel depths, we selected the most important
channel depth and the data is given for the main port
site.
Informations about channel depths in the World Port
Index are categorized 5 feet by 5 feet. We make a
convertion to give you the information by feet and
also by meter.
The data are categorized in four main classes:
- under 36 feet (or under 10,67m),
- between 36-50 feet (10,9m-15m),
- between 51-65 feet (15-19,8m),
- The deepest ports, over 66 feet (over 20m).
To make a distinction between the deepest ports in
North-West Europe, we display on the map the name
of the port which have a channel depths over 51 feet.
In our area of interest, we can identify three main sites
in North West Europe with a channel depths over 66
feets (Killybegs, Dunkerque and Rotterdam) and six
main ports with a channel depth between 51 and 65
feet (Ijmuiden, Felixstowe, New Ross, Falmouth, Le
Havre, Cromarty Firth).

To distinguish the main road infrastructures,
the network has been classified into three main
categories:
- the motorway,
- the dual carriage way or free way,
- the single carriage way.

The ferry lines correspond to a special waterway
aimed at supporting the transport of passangers,
vehicles or other cargo/freight across a water body,
and which is normally used as a connection linking
two or more nodes of a land based transport network.
The indicator «Frequency of ferry lines» presented in

The frequency was established with the mobilization
of various sources:
- some observers like ports gave us directly the

North-West Europe area: level of navigability of inland waterways
The level of navigability of european waterway network
is based on a classification established by European
Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) in 1992
(resolution N°92/2 on new classification of inland
waterways). The ECMT created an inland waterways
classification of european waterways network according
to five indicators: the tonnage (by ton), the lenght (by
meter), the breadth (by meter), the draught (by meter)
and the air draft. Finally, this classification determined
the type of barge or convoy which can use the
waterway network according to the waterway and barge
characteristics.
ECMT distinguised seven different classes divided
into two main types of inland waterways. According to
ECMT, the three first classes are waterways of regional
importance (Class I, Class II and Class III) and the fourth
next classes (Class IV, Va, Vb, VIa, VIb, VIc and VII) are
waterways of international importance.
Class I: vessels from 250 to 400 tons
Class II: vessels from 400 to 650 tons
Class III: vessels from 650 to 1 000 tons
Class IV: vessels from 1 000 to 1 500 tons or convoys
from 1 250 to 1 450 tons
Class V: vessels from 1 500 to 3 000 tons or convoys
from 1 600 to 6 000 tons
Class VI: convoys from 3 200 to 18 000 tons
Class VII: convoys from 14 500 tons to 27 000 tons

21 North-West Europe area: railway nodes terminal
We have two basic infrastructures informations on
this map.
The railway network is the elementary level of railway
infrastructure in our GIS database. It corresponds to
a linear spatial object that describes the geometry
and connectivity of a railway network between
two points in the network. At this level, there is no
distinction between the current uses of the lines.
There may have cargo, car shuttle, passangers or
many of them in the lines which are in the database.
The railway network was structured with the help of
OpenStreetMap data and a documentary work of the
AURH Team.
The railway terminal node is a point spatial object
which represents a significant point along the railway
network. In our case, it may be a railway station or
a railway logistic terminal. To be complete, we have
also added on this map the inland water ports and the
sea ports with rail and road connection.
To localize the railway terminal, partners of the
project gave us informations on their area of interest.
We also use two main databases to localize railway
intermodal terminal: Agora Intermodal Terminals in
Europe (www.intermodal-terminals.eu/database) and
Via Combi Project (www.viacombi.eu/fr).

The level of electrification of the railway network
indicates whether the railway «is provided with and
electric system to power vehicules moving along it»
(source: Inspire).
This characteristic of the railway network gives us an
information about the level of modernization of the
network infrastructure.
Basically, this information is divided into two levels:
- the electrified network,
- the non electrified network.
We can notice that the electrification of european
railway network is not homogeneous. According to
historical facts, like for the gauge, there are several
standards of electrification by country.

The inland waterways of North-West Europe
are mainly concerned by two projects of major
infrastructure of transport creation: the large gauge
link Seine-Escault and Saône-Moselle to connect the
ports of the Seine Valley and the Rhone Valley to the
European wide-network. The projects of improvement
of infrastructure mainly concerned the north of the
study area and aims to increase the network capacity.

The railway network is the transport mode which is
concerned by a lot of infrastructures projects. Only
the projects concerned by freight transport have been
identified on this map.
The projects of creation of new infrastructures mainly
involve projects of high-speed line. The projects
of improvement of infrastructure focuses on the
electrification of the network and the implantation
standarts for ERTMS.

The eurocarex network or European high-speed rail
freight network aims to use the european high-speed
rail network to carry airfreight pallets and containers
over distances of between 300 and 800 kilometres,
involving:
- a «modal shift» from trucks and short-/mid-range
aircraft to high-speed trains wherever appropriate,
- airport-based air/rail terminals connected to high-speed
rail links,
- a service tailored to suit the logistics chains and
transport plans of integrators, with priority given
to express freight in order to guarantee next-day
delivery, followed by less urgent air cargo freight.
ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System)
is a major project to guarantee a common standard
that enables trains to cross national borders and
enhances safety. In this framework, european
authorities has identified priority axes to implement
this system. The ERTMS standards are now apply to
any new lines construction.
