Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy-making for urban transport and planning of economies in the developing world present major challenges for countries facing rapid urbanisation and rampant motorisation, alongside growing commitments to sustainability. These challenges include: coping with financial deficits, providing for the poor, dealing meaningfully with global warming and energy shortages, addressing traffic congestion and related land use issues, adopting green technologies and adjusting equitably to the impacts of globalisation. This book presents a contemporary analysis of these challenges and new workable responses to the urban transport problems they spawn.

Download or read book The Infrastructure We Ride On written by Joseph Berechman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-13 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the various economic and institutional factors that explain why huge investments are made in unworthy transportation mega-projects in the US and other countries. It is based on research, the general literature, economic analyses, and results from a specifically collected database showing that a significant proportion of implemented mega-projects have been found to be inferior ex-ante or incapable of delivering the returns they promised ex-post. Transportation infrastructure and other public investments of a similar scope (“mega-projects”) reflect public sector priorities and objectives, non-pecuniary as well as financial constraints, and a range of decision-making processes. This book describes how decisions made in the public sector with respect to transportation infrastructure investments are affected by the large populations and territories they serve, the estimation of the substantial opportunity costs they entail, the formal procedures instituted for quantitatively appraising projected outcomes and monetary returns, and the political environment in which these decisions are made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As cities around the globe respond to rapid technological changes and political pressures, coordinated transport and land use planning is an often targeted aim. Metropolitan Transport and Land Use, the second edition of Planning for Place and Plexus, provides unique and updated perspectives on metropolitan transport networks and land use planning, challenging current planning strategies, offering frameworks to understand and evaluate policy, and suggesting alternative solutions. The book includes current and cutting-edge theory, findings, and recommendations which are cleverly illustrated throughout using international examples. This revised work continues to serve as a valuable resource for students, researchers, practitioners, and policy advisors working across transport, land use, and planning.

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.

Download or read book The Economic Benefits of Road Transport Projects written by Herman G. Tak and published by Johns Hopkins University Press. This book was released on 1971 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic evaluation of a project in any sector entails the measurement and comparison of cost and benefit streams expected from alternative investments. This paper presents an exposition of the social surplus method of measuring benefits. The exposition is intended to shed light on the nature of benefits to be expected from road transport projects, both with and without various types of market imperfections, and in particular, to show how these benefits relate to changes in the supply and demand of transported commodities. Thus one purpose of the paper is purely expository; to record the economic mechanics behind the social surplus method of benefit evaluation as applied to road projects. In the following chapters, the paper presents a method of measuring benefits which takes traffic responses into account, discusses the factors underlying their relative importance, relates the benefits to associated changes in the production and consumption of the transported commodity, and interprets the impact of market imperfections on benefit measurement.

Download or read book Highway Capacity Expansion and Induced Travel written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At its 76th Annual Meeting in January 1997, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) presented a session on Highway Capacity Expansion and Induced Travel: Evidence and Implications. The session, which was sponsored by TRB's Committee on Transportation Planning Applications, included the presentation of four papers, comments by two discussants, and questions and comments from the audience. This report contains the four papers and a summary of the discussion following their presentation. The papers take a broad view of induced traffic. The papers also note the importance of geographic scope and time period in attempting to measure induced traffic by comparing traffic volumes before and after highway improvements. The papers distinguish induced traffic from growth in traffic that would have occurred with or without highway capacity expansion. Session participants identified several high priority areas for future research on induced traffic: (1) The development of simplified procedures to account for induced traffic in benefit-cost analyses of highway improvements; (2) More basic research on travel behavior oriented toward understanding the role of changes in travel times and costs on the amount of travel by households and businesses; (3) Retrospective studies, which compare observed volumes in highway corridors with forecasts; and (4) Before and after studies of major improvements in highway capacity. Review of the four papers and the discussion following their presentation suggests that the range of disagreement between highway proponents and opponents on the subject of induced travel has narrowed considerably.
