If you would like to know, how the traffic is changing 

because of different transport organisational measures (e.g. changing of the network and service of public transport, parking regulation and traffic calming, road-, bridge-closing, etc.), infrastructure development (e.g. completion of new road or bridge building, extension of public transport etc.) or financial measures (e.g. changing of transport fares, parking tariffs or launching accessing- or road tolls) 

and what kind of changes are induced by the measures

e.g.. in the field of transport time consumption, costs, revenues, energy consumption, air pollution, noise, accident risk, network connections and accessibility,

furthermore, how are these possible to evaluate.

SPACE–TIME–COST–APPROACH TRANSPORT MODEL- AND IMPACT EVALUATION SYSTEM

To solve the different national highway development planning tasks TRANSMAN has developed over decades the TRANSWAY model and program system, which enables the forecast of transport demand flows and traffic loads in the network, further the calculation of changes in transport time, operation costs, accident losses, air pollution, noise, occupied land and the improved accessibilities between zones as well as the changes of location potentials. The efficiency evaluation and ranking of alternatives by cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and multi-criterial analysis (MCA), should demonstrate the social-economic viability of the projects and the national economy.

The M3-M35 highways should improve the connections to the regions Nyíregyháza and Debrecen in the east of Hungary and initiate a territorial development.

Two alternatives have been investigated.

The Hungarian rail (MÁV) is implementing a new ticket (selling) system with O-D indication instead of the existing distance category tickets. Until this O-D-matrixes can be estimated by the ticket and pass selling statistics using a gravity type model.

The last few years have been a difficult time for MÁV. Set against a background of political transition and economic restructuring, passenger numbers and revenues have declined sharply. Whilst efforts have been made to reduce expenditure, levels of cost recovery have also declined and the railway, like many others world-wide, faces a growing financial challenge.

It is against this background that MÁV invited a team of consultants, led by Halcrow Transmark, to undertake a study of the MÁV passenger railway services.  This is the Final Report of Phase 1 of this study.
