Resvägar

Resvägar is a Swedish term meaning travel routes or itineraries. It originates from res- meaning to travel and väg meaning road or way. The word is used in everyday language as well as in academic and professional contexts to denote the sequence of steps, places, and transport modes used to move from a starting point to a destination. A resväg can be simple, such as a direct train from A to B, or multimodal, combining train, bus, bicycle, and walking. In transportation planning and geography, resvägar are analyzed to assess travel times, costs, emissions, and accessibility. They are represented in maps, timetable databases, and trip-planning tools, often with indicators for transfers, waiting times, and service frequencies.

In planning and discourse, the choice of a resväg may reflect priorities such as shortest time, lowest cost, or lowest environmental impact. For travelers, defining a preferred resväg helps organize logistics for daily commuting, tourism, or freight. Related terms include route, journey, transport infrastructure, and multimodal travel.
