GEOPOL DISTANCE AND TRANSPORT COST CALCULATOR

Evaluation of lengths (distances), main intermediate nodes (capitals) and

truck transport cost estimates for shortest paths connecting 251 European regional capitals

For the theoretical

background of the applied methodology mouse-click on the following file (section 1.4.3, pages 12-14):

Steps to follow

Calculation of shortest path length and corresponding truck transport cost between regional capitals: "Origin Capital" and "Destination Capital":

1. Locate "Origin Capital" in the second column of this page and the name of corresponding region, say "Origin Region"

2. Go to the third column of this page and mouse click on the "Origin Region"

3. Go to the section

4.3 of corresponding report titled "Distances and truck transport cost estimates of shortest paths to European regional capitals" and locate

the entry "Distance between Origin Capital and Destination Capital" which contains the desired information

Example

Calculation of shortest path length and corresponding truck transport cost between Sevilla, Spain (Origin Capital) and Tripoli, Greece (Destination Capital):

1. From the second column we get the corresponding Origin Region which is "Andalucia"

2. We mouse-click on "Andalucia (Spain)" in the third colu mn and open corresponding report

3. The relevant entry of the report gives the desired information:

- Distance between Sevilla and Tripoli : 3697km.

Shortest path:Tripoli,Patras( 203), Potenza( 719),Genoa( 849), Marseille( 400),Montpellier( 168), Barcelona( 343),Sevilla( 1015),

Note. Path Patras-Potenza (723): Patras-Igoumenitsa=239 Ferry Igoumenitsa-Brindisi=254 Brindisi-Potenza=230

Corresponding transport cost= 2068 euros

*: The numbers in parentheses give the lengths of corresponding intermediate road axes. For example, the number 168 next to Montpellier gives the length (in km) of the intermediate road axis Marseille-Montpellier.
