22 Network efficiency parameters to investigate contribution of road improvements.

23 Network Performance Indicators No. of Trips: These refer to the number of vehicle trips that are made daily on the national network. Under the Base Case there are 801,285 one way trips that are made daily. No. of Veh Kms: This refers to the summation of all the kms run by the vehicles undertaking these trips. In the Base Case, this is 23.3 billion kms per day. This then turns out to be around 29 kms per trip. No. of Veh. Hrs:The number of vehicle hours that the network is occupied is given by this statistic. This is the multiplication of the number of vehicles by the amount of time spent on the network. Thus under the Base Case, this is 789,318 veh hrs. This then translates to around 59 minutes per vehicle on the national network. Network Speed: The network speed is the division of the network vehicle kms by the network vehicle hours. This can be considered as the average speed at which vehicles will travel on the national network. In the Base Case this is 29.4 kms per hour.

25 Future Traffic Estimates TransPlan calculates future traffic estimates on the basis of: Socioeconomic: Transport Policy: Highway Network:

26 Vehicle Ownership Growth Rates Is based on Socioeconomic and Transport Policy Economic Growth Rate (% p.a.) Condition of Public Transport High = 5.5% Medium = 4% Low = 3% Translates to Vehicle Ownership Growth (% p.a.) Improved from Present Condition 6.0% p.a. 5.0% p.a. 3.5% p.a. Present Condition Remains 7.5% p.a. 6.0% p.a. 4.0% p.a. Deteriorates from Present Condition 9.0% p.a. 7.0% p.a. 5.0% p.a.

27 Analysis of Improvements when network additions are made No. of New trips: This is taken by deducting the no. of trips after the construction of the new road and the Base Case. For example, the construction of the Southern Highway shows the number of trips increasing by 38,059 per day. Savings in Vehicle Kms: This refers to the savings in the distance traveled by the existing traffic per day. This can be taken by assuming new trips to also be the same average distance and by calculating the total reduction observed in the output. For the Southern Highway, the reduction in distance traveled by existing traffic is estimated at 761,384 vehicle kms.

28 Total Savings: In order to avoid a detailed calculation which is not within the scope of the analysis at this stage of the study, by equating the discounting rate to the traffic growth rate, we can simplify the calculation to assess the lifetime benefits. Assuming a project life time of 15 years and 365 traffic days per year. Thus for the Southern Highway this will be Rs 96.1bn. This is of course a back of the envelop type of calculation and should only be used as an approximate indicator.
