TRIPP multimodal connectivity and digital-green scenario framework for the South Caucasus

This dataset provides a structured documentary and scenario-based framework for assessing the proposed Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) from the perspectives of multimodal connectivity, digital trade facilitation, and green logistics in the South Caucasus. The dataset converts officially documented TRIPP characteristics into research variables and distinguishes clearly between officially documented provisions, external policy evidence, research scenarios, and information that is not yet available or finalized. The documented components include multimodal transit connectivity between mainland Azerbaijan and the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic through Armenia, the proposed role of TRIPP within the wider Trans-Caspian trade network, and potential rail, road, fiber-optic, electricity, and oil and gas pipeline modalities. Institutional variables related to border control, customs administration, digital tools, and interoperability are also documented. A three-scenario analytical framework is provided: S0 – Baseline, representing existing regional connectivity without an operational TRIPP route; S1 – TRIPP physical connectivity, representing implementation of the proposed multimodal connection; and S2 – TRIPP digital-green connectivity, incorporating enhanced digital trade facilitation, logistics optimization, and lower-carbon transport and energy considerations. No unverified numerical estimates are assigned to route distance, travel-time reduction, freight volumes, agri-food traffic, logistics costs, or transport emissions. Variables for which verified operational data are not available are explicitly identified as unavailable or not finalized. This dataset represents Stage 3 of the empirical and analytical data-development process supporting the research project “Assessing the potential effects of the proposed TRIPP transit route on digitalized agri-food trade connectivity and the green economy transition in the South Caucasus.”
