Part of the book series: ZEW Economic Studies ((ZEW,volume 7))

  • 167 Accesses

Abstract

The objective of the QUITS project is to develop a methodology to improve decision-making in the transport sector by drawing attention to the internal and external quality dimensions. The investigation is based on the main assumption that the quality of a transport system depends on both internal and external variables.

QUITS was partially funded by the European Commission — 4th Framework Programme — Transport RTD (Strategic).
