Policy Analysis of Transport Networks

The aim of this book is to contribute to the understanding of the state of the art and new developments in policy making for transport networks and the regional impacts of network integration. In policy making, evaluation plays a central role as decision support, using ex ante and ex post approaches. Evaluation may include Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) and various other tools to evaluate policy. In addition, attention is paid to tools that analyse the impacts of transport policies on accessibility and spatial integration. This book examines existing studies and advances in decision support tools in transport policy and in broader evaluation studies of network integration and regional development.
