Evaluation of Transport Infrastructure Projects on Corridors by a Strategic Assessment Framework

Abstract

This paper illustrates the strategic assessment framework applied for the appraisal of large-scale infrastructure projects with European importance. The methodology has been developed within the TEN-STAC project (Scenarios, Traffic Forecasts and Analysis of Corridors on the Trans-European Network, project funded by the European Commission, Directorate General Transport and Energy) and applied for the assessment of 69 infrastructure projects belonging to 22 European transport corridors according to 32 impact criteria. The infrastructure projects under evaluation belong to trans-European transport corridors, hence the perception of infrastructure projects as components of transport corridors is considered by the evaluation approach. The assessment approach includes various types of impact criteria, like monetary criteria and intangible ones or quantitative and qualitative ones. According to the way performance data are generated for the impact criteria, the criteria are subdivided into four classes: the impact criteria based on transport impedance matrices, impact criteria based on transport flows on the project, impact criteria based on transport flows in the whole transport system and impact criteria independent from modeling results.
