Overview

Background & policy context:

Since their emergence in the 1930s, transport planning and engineering have developed a range of concepts which help planners to design networks and road infrastructures. 30th-hourly volume, peak 15-minute period, average daily traffic etc. Parallel though not integrated in these approaches, several economically oriented evaluation concepts, such as the cost-benefit analysis, have been conceptualized. The research need is the development of a modern dimensioning concept for transport infrastructure. The concept shall suitably consider the variability of travel demand as well as the infrastructure's capacity. 

Objectives:

Aim of the project is the development of a modern dimensioning concept for transport infrastructure. The concept shall suitably consider the variability of travel demand as well as the infrastructure's capacity. 

Methodology:

The working method of the project consists of the iteration of theoretical development of the approaches, practical review of examples and discussion of manageability with practice and the relevant specialists and experts commission.
