STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS FOR INNOVATION AND INTELLIGENT CONCEPTS FOR TRANSPORT AND MOBILITY

Antoaneta Kirova

Abstract


The European Commission aims to create a Single European Transport Area by removing residual barriers between modes of transport and national systems, facilitating the integration process and facilitating the emergence of multinational transport providers with the possibility of intramodality. The Integrated Transport Strategy of the Republic of Bulgaria until 2030 provides for specific measures to achieve strategic objectives, answer specific priorities, and solve the identified problems in the transport sector. The thesis of the presented paper is that to reduce fuel consumption and increase the energy efficiency of transport, deploy alternative energy sources, improve transport system management (through intelligent transport and information systems and by increasing institutional capacity), as well as to develop efficient intermodal solutions, the creation of cluster associations in the transport sector is crucial. The research made has brought forward certain practical achievements discussed hereto. Further different strategic forms within the transport sectors are investigated, related to the process of clustering.
