The State of Adaptability of the Romanian Road and Rail Networks to the European TEN-T Transport Networks

Transport is fundamental to an efficient EU economy, but vital connections are currently missing. TEN-T Trans-European Transport Networks are an essential tool to help transport policy achieve the overall objective of a 60% reduction in transport emissions by 2050. Essentially, the TEN-T is a multimodal transport network, making it much easier for passengers and goods to shift from road to rail and other modes of transport. This paper has been written by the authors in an elegant manner, through which the European TEN-T transportation networks are treated. In this way the readers can get acquainted with the number, role and benefits brought by the European TEN-T transport networks. The scientific paper also presents a case study on the state of adaptability of road and rail networks in Romania to the European TEN-T transport networks on December 31, 2024. Conclusions are drawn at the end of the paper.
