SPIDER PLUS has to deliver a passenger & freight mobility Vision by 2050 encompassing seamless transportation where electrified High Speed Rail has a central role. Such Vision incorporates the envisaged technological innovations, the needs of an evolved European Society where environmental sustainability, energy saving, safety and security, noise abatement and life-quality are fundamental values.

SPIDER PLUS objective is to provide a new 2050 mobility VISION through a Strategic Design & Plan and a Road Map delivering Sustainable Solutions by then.

The productivity of the available resources supported by ICT and other technologies is maximized by the combination of infrastructural nodes with spatial and urban planning integrating the missing links for sustainable mobility and city logistics. The combination of the Time with Space management generates seamless transport chains reducing aggravations and costs. E/Service, E/Freight, ICT technologies, satellite communications, Galileo are tools for achieving these objectives. Synchro-Mobility and Seamless liquid mobility are the 2050 SPIDER PLUS final goals.
