Накратко на български
Икономиката и политиката на транспорта изследват теми като структурата на железопътния сектор и устойчивото градско разпределение. Обучението на експерти в тези области помага за преодоляване на недостига на специалисти в индустрията и академичните среди.

Final Activity Report Summary - PEAT (Policy, economics and appraisal in transport)
The objective of the PEAT training site was to create a pool of skilled transport economists, transport policy experts and experts in transport scheme appraisal who are well equipped to pursue careers in transport practice, local or national governments. This was in order to address a shortage of people in industry and academia with expertise in the general transport economics and policy field. The site has been successful in recruiting 8 Fellows who have followed a mixture of doctoral research training, training in specific technical areas and development of generic skills. The specific research topics addressed by Fellows have had a broad scope and covered the following themes: industry structure (for rail), socio-economic appraisal (especially equity and environmental concerns), methodological developments (in valuation, fuzzy logic, freight modelling, demand modelling) and policy development (urban distribution and sustainable policies). The concrete outputs of the research have included new models, methodological advances, policy developments and evidence from case studies and trial applications of the research. A total of 78 conferences seminars and workshops have been attended by Fellows, a wide range of other networking activities have also taken place and over 79 technical or generic training activities were undertaken. In addition to award of 3 phd qualifications, a further 3 thesis are in the process of submission with the expectation of award of Phd. Fellows were actively encouraged to participate in wider networking activities, particularly in forming links with professional associations, linking with stakeholders in industry and forming networks with esteemed academics in the field. A total of 25 specific networking activities are reported and the fellows have formed a network of associations with their peers across Europe.

Цел на проекта
The PEAT training site will provide a comprehensive research training environment covering the theoretical,methodological and contextual research issues within the field of Policy, Economics and Appraisal for thetransport network of today and tomorrow. Fellows will train toward PhD within a large group of academics andresearchers with a track record of international excellence in this field. The quality of research at ITS wasconfirmed by the highest rating (Grade 5*) in both the 1996 and 2001 Research Assessment Exercise, resultingin the highest possible double 5* rating overall. Fellows initially register as a research student at the Universityof Leeds and follow a well structured 3-year programme of research and training aimed towards a PhD. Duringthe first year, Fellows will acquire basic technical and complementary skills and carry out the initial researchtasks towards the PhD objectives. During the second year, basic skills will be consolidated and supplementedwith specialist training whilst the main body of the research progresses forward. During the third year theresearch is concluded, a written thesis submitted for examination and Fellows acquire relevant skills for a futurecareer. At the end of their visit, Fellows will have increased their skills and understanding within the followingareas: transport policy, the role of transport charging, taxation and subsidy, transport project appraisal, financialappraisal and cost-benefit analysis, valuation of costs and benefits, design and effectiveness of demandmanagement measures, policies for sustainable planning and transport demand forecasting methods. There existsa skills shortage in these areas across Europe and the PEAT site will produce a pool of qualified researchers tomeet this. The site has direct relevance to achieving the overall objective of developing dynamic world-classhuman resources in Europe and the specific objectives of reinforcing training #
