Book The Evaluation of Transportation Investment Projects

Download or read book The Evaluation of Transportation Investment Projects written by Joseph Berechman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-05-26 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world, the use of some kind of a formal transportation project evaluation procedure is a requirement. Yet, by and large, these are partial; in fact, much weight is often placed on the initial -pre-engineering -phases of the planning process, when vital information, such as accurate costs and demand projections, is largely missing. Moreover, many of these procedures neglect to consider key issues such as project’s risks, capital costs financing, latent demand, market imperfections, labor force availability and various incompatibilities between trip rates, travel times and activity location. As a result, projects, which are judged as viable under such deficient evaluation schemes, may have had a significantly different projection of capital costs and demand should a well-founded, thorough, and efficient evaluation process be used. Against this background, this book’s main objective is to construct a comprehensive and methodical economic, planning and decision-making framework for the evaluation of proposed transportation infrastructure investment projects. Such a framework is founded on four key principles. It is based on well-established economic, transportation and policy-analysis theoretical principles; it is comprehensive enough to encompass all relevant evaluation issues; it is applicable to a wide range of transportation investment projects; and it is amenable to empirical application including a sensitivity analysis and alternative scenarios regarding urban, regional and national developments.

Book Assessing Investment Analysis Strategies for Infrastructure Renewal in Regional Transportation Planning

Download or read book Assessing Investment Analysis Strategies for Infrastructure Renewal in Regional Transportation Planning written by Yukun Dong and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2007 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial constraints are the most commonly recognized and major constraints identified in Regional Transportation Plans (RTPs). However, fully functioning benefit-cost analysis (BCA) procedures that lend credibility and responsibility to the transportation investment decisions have not been widely adopted for RTPs. Therefore, there is a recognized value in illustrating the gap between projections of our transportation needs and the financial resources available to meet them from a BCA perspective. On the other hand, increasing claims have been advanced for asset management as a promising new approach to infrastructure management, and asset management has been seen as an effective response to the fiscal challenges confronting the United States' transportation infrastructure. Realizing all these opportunities and challenges, this thesis describes and defines the financial analysis gaps in the current regional long-range transportation planning practices and demonstrates the application of a hierarchical decision analysis framework for managing existing regional transportation infrastructure cost-effectively. Specifically, this research uses the concepts of Benefit- Cost Analysis (BCA), Multi-Criteria Assessment (MCA), and package solutions, Highway Economic Requirements System (AHP) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as asset management tools, and uses case studies as research method, to achieve the objective of providing a framework for rigorous analysis of investment strategies for maintaining and improving the existing regional highway infrastructure.

Book Economic Impact Analysis of Transit Investments

Download or read book Economic Impact Analysis of Transit Investments written by Cambridge Systematics and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1998 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report will be of interest to transportation economists and other analysts to assist them in selecting methods to conduct economic impact analyses of transit investments. Although the primary goal of public transportation investments is to improve mobility, economic benefits are also important to transit investment decisions. Consequently, it is important that reliable and defensible analytic methods are used to support decisionmaking.
