MONITOR was a complex transport, environmental and economic research project that dealt with the measurement and the forecast of the air transportation indicators, to draw the conclusions and to help policy makers in the future's decisions.
The work of MONITOR consisted of developing a Monitoring System that collects, processes, analyses relevant data of the global air transport system, and takes care for an effective dissemination of results. Data collected include the dimensions economics, environment, demography and technology. Planned actors of the Monitoring System are the Monitoring Task Force (during the lifetime of the project this role was taken by the project team) and the Steering Committee (installed during the first months of the project).
