1 Strategic Vision for Transportation Planning In Egypt & GNSS Application Needs Assessment Dr. Ahmed Mosa Ministry of Transportation Advisor for Transportation Planning Associate Professor of Transportation Planning and Intelligent Transportation Systems The German University in Cairo (GUC) 1

2 Issues The growing dominance of road cargo transport leads to stagnation in the other transport sectors. Main roads are confronted with more congestion, increasing delays and environmental degradation. Rail transport is under-utilized and is beginning to suffered from the lack of consideration as a serious transport alternative. Road infrastructure receives the highest investment priority but the utilization of this valuable asset is weak due to less-than-optimum management (and policing) as well as poor transport equipment (outdated and badly maintained) and abysmal safety practices. Operational efficiency and available capacity of railway transport is low, which leads to continued and possibly irreversible structural deterioration of the sector due to high maintenance and operating costs. The IWT and railway sectors are limited in their capacity to capture cargo because of a wide range of hindrances, lack of intermodal systems, 2 regulatory frameworks and inability to operate in a competitive market

3 The Policy 3

5 Pillars of the Transport Vision Future of the Nation: The longer-term spatial Pillars of the Transport Vision objectives of the Republic and requisite strategic transport corridors to serve anticipated demand. In other words The intrinsic linking of transport systems with the form and extent of the national as well as urban fabric, thus catalyzing a dynamic interaction between transport and the nature of Egypt s social as well as economic evolution. Balanced Transport System: The equitable and realistic allocation of demand, for passengers and cargo, among the various modes. That is The development of an integrated and multi-modal transport concept within broader contexts such as Egypt Vision 2050, while retaining sensitivity towards local norms, expectations and modal requirements inherent to the movement of persons and goods. 5

6 Policy Components Improved mobility for all peoples of Egypt. Ensure transport policy supports national development. Shifting the balance among road, rail and inland waterway. Turn intermodal transport into reality. Improve quality, safety and security for all modes. Increasing reliance on user pays and market principles. Develop environmental objectives which underpin transport. Increased role for private sector. 6

28 Number of Accidents and Casualties on the Top 15 Roads with Highest Number of Accidents in

29 Overloading Excessive axle loads and high tire pressures lead to premature and rapid deterioration of existing and new roads in the form of cracking, rutting and potholes; Premature damage accelerates and increases the road maintenance budget; Public transport, such as overloaded buses may not be a source of damage to roads, but, together with overloaded commercial vehicles, they are the major safety road hazard and are involved in most accidents; Transport time is lost by trucks being off road for repairs due to overloading. Revenue is lost to the owner from down time and repair costs are borne by them; Marginalization of profitability of the trucking industry due to the overloading fines. 29
