This scientific study assesses the impact of higher road tolls in Europe on the modal split between road and rail. According to the results, by increasing road tolls by 1 euro per kilometre, the shift of road transport volume to rail would only increase by less than 1.22%. The study concludes that an increase in quality service would be the only factor to foster a potential increase in rail transport.
