CONCLUSIONS

• Testing the applicability of the RIN guidelines to other countries and regions

– Difficulties to establish the functional structure:• Different spatial planning guidelines.• Different urban dimension.• Exessive dependence on the Dalaunay triangulation (e.g. Porto-

Seville and Bilbao-Valencia instead of Lisbon-Madrid and Madrid-Barcelona).

– Assestment of the transport network:• Different transportation standards.• Different law.

29


CONCLUSIONS

• Discussing the obtained results about the quality of service on the Spanish

roads and their relation with the current transportation network
