General description:
Evaluation methods in transportation such as the “Standardisierte Bewertung” or the evaluation procedure of the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan as benefit-cost analyses are used for
- analysing and assessing the effects of transport infrastructure projects,
- prioritising transport infrastructure investments in Germany,
- and providing the proof of economic viability for transport infrastructure investments required by the Federal Budget Code.
However, a positive assessment of public transport projects is usually only achieved if travel times are reduced, new passengers are gained (through new development or service improvements) and thus car users are shifted to public transport as a result of this measure. Societal and long-term spatial effects are not or insufficiently considered. The aim of this project is, therefore, to develop innovative approaches for evaluation methods, considering the M Cube target dimensions of time, space, and air.
Objectives:
-
Develop innovative assessment approaches
-
Focus on transport infrastructure projects in city regions
-
Apply assessment approaches in a case study in the Munich Metropolitan region
-
Foster the exchange of scientists and practitioners in the field of transport project assessments
