A strategic assessment tool for evaluating European Transport Policies - the High-Tool approach
article
Decisions on transport policy measures proposed by the European Union (EU) have long-term and important impacts on economy, environment and society. Transport policy measures can lock up capital for decades and cause manifold external effects – thus, policy measures may have a tremendous scope, especially if proposed on a European level. In order to allow European policy-makers to evaluate transport polices, a strategic assessment tool has been developed to compute economic, environmental and social impacts of transport policies.
After summarizing key requirements of the tool and its overall structure, the paper illustrates the methodologies applied for the individual modelling entities of the strategic high-level transport policy assessment instrument HIGH-TOOL, which cover the following areas: Demography, Economy & Resources, Vehicle Stock, Passenger Demand, Freight Demand, Environment and Safety. Further illustrates how these principles have been applied for accessing the HIGH-TOOL model. Furthermore, the paper
