3. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NEW MODULES Although quite a lot of useful information related to the Key-topic is contained in the projects and can be used for the elaboration of didactic materials, it is usually not presented in the right format for teaching purposes. A general package about "Integration of Transport Chains" could be prepared, touching the different levels and issues involved in the topic. Further materials to go deep into those subtopics which are not covered by other Key-topics in PORTAL (Transport and Land use planing is already met in KT 1 and 9), and studied in specific projects may be developed. The general package could be structured in modules oriented to different users. • • • Policy and Institutional issues. Management, and operational issues. Planning, Design and Implementation. These could be developed for politicians, transport operators and technicians, The projects contain quite a lot of information and good practice guides to develop specific modules about design and implementation of physical measures in Interchanges and its surroundings to eliminate barriers to the use of intermodal public transport. There is a generalised lack of graphical information about the case studies, that could be very useful for didactic purposes, in order to show the application of the concepts. It would be important to include new photographs, plans and functional diagrams, as it is often the most easy material to understand, and a lot of written descriptions of the different interchanges can be substituted by expressive images.

4. FINAL CONCLUSIONS Although a lot of interesting material has been found in the projects concerning Integrated Transport Chains, the deliverables have not been didactically oriented. The WP4 should mostly use the concepts and examples to elaborate new materials for teachers and students, but not rely so much on the existent ones that were developed with different aims. Some projects focus on the same topics with different research methodologies, producing lots of deliverables and reports on case studies. As the conclusions are usually convergent, it could be interesting to merge them in very clear and concise concepts to be used together with the most representative case studies where those concepts can be clearly understand, to elaborate easy to use materials. PORTAL could be used to disseminate the projects and the existing materials, as the access to them has been found to be quite difficult. In many cases there are still lack of information about the specialisation of the partners, and missing reports for projects that are either not finished or waiting for approval. In order to be considered in further research projects, it can be concluded that there is a great need to homogenise all the information about the projects, from organisational aspects to research results. It is often difficult to get to know the roles of the partners and fields of specialisation. About the presentation of research data, it would be very useful to use similar parameters allowing comparisons from different case studies. Page 27
