EasyWay/CORVETTE is the network area situated at the south-centre of Europe in the Alpine area including the following countries: Austria, Germany (Bavarian region), Italy (North-Eastern and Central regions) and Switzerland. It covers the mountainous regions that serve as a central point for transportation within Europe characterised by adverse weather conditions in winter, numerous passes (e.g. the Brenner between Austria and Italy) and tunnels (e.g., the Tauern tunnel in Austria), with limited opportunities for re-routing. There are also significant seasonal traffic peaks, such as the northbound and southbound traffic flows in the Alpine area during the summer holidays as well as winter ski holiday traffic, and considerable transit traffic between northern and southern Europe passing through Austria and Switzerland. The picture below reports the EasyWay CORVETTE area network with reference to the EasyWay project.
