This study aims to analyze how much socio-economic benefits the opening of the Gyeongbu Expressway, the Korea's first expressway, in 1970 provided over the past 50 years by implementing past road networks and estimating O/D traffic volume, and comparing them with established scenarios. As a result, the opening effect of the Gyeongbu Expressway was estimated to have generated about 245 trillion won [...]

To make a decision to execute a road project, it is necessary to carry out an economic evaluation, calculating the investment costs and, on the other hand, the social benefits. The profitability of the project seeks the situation in which the benefits are greater than the costs, a situation that sometimes does not occur because the geometric design parameters and the local conditions of the land increase [...]

Social equity can be associated with all road practices and policies that ensure fair and just transport in terms of mobility, access and costs allocated to the transport infrastructure. Equally, social accessibility reflects the attribute of transportation infrastructure and systems that enables affordable and accessible mobility for different users’ context. The implementation of these two aspects [...]

The relationship between transport infrastructure and economic growth has attracted a lot of research effort and attention from economists, policy makers and politicians since the early 1990s. Several previous studies could not confirm the direction of causation between the development of the transport sector and economic growth. In addition, most of these studies have typically relied on cross-sectional [...]

In my most recent article on motor vehicle taxation, I tried to develop proposals – mainly regarding fuel excise tax and motor vehicle tax –, which aim to promote the spread of the more environment friendly technologies, and to tax these fuel technologies and vehicles more proportionately than before. However, I have concluded that even an optimal taxation driven by environmental, economic and [...]

Currently, there is growing political and social pressure not only for safe but also for sustainable transport, which aims to minimise the negative environmental impacts of transport. Sustainable transport policy, if it is to be enforced, must be based on real data, which should be monitored not only in terms of the number and severity of accidents, but also in financial terms. In addition to the [...]

The planet is warming up fast. The temperature has already risen by 1.1°C since 1850, and if nothing is done, we risk exceeding +4°C by 2100 at the global level. The transport sector is a major source of GHG emissions. It accounts for 24% of global CO2 emissions. It is estimated that global GHG emissions from transport will increase faster than in other sectors without a strong mitigation policy, [...]

This study focuses on the benefits associated with the improvement of travel time reliability, which is a new concept of monetary benefit other than travel time saving that has been conventionally used for cost-benefit analysis of new road projects. In this study, the estimation method is prepared and the test calculation is conducted by targeting the opening of a new route in the urban expressway [...]

Sumatera is the third largest island of Indonesia at 473,481 km2 with a population of 58 million. This area is abundant in energy resources and has great potential in farming and forestry. For many years, transportation in Sumatera was only served by one main trunk road (Jalintim) and two other complementing lanes, where Jalintim serves most of the traffic (i.e: inter-island traffic for logistics [...]
