Roads to Development: Experimental Evidence from Urban Road Pavement∗
Urban peripheries in many developing country cities lack basic local public goods like pavement, water, sewerage and electricity. We estimate the impacts of slum infrastructure upgrading using an experiment in urban road pavement provision in Mexico. Our findings show that homes in streets that were paved increased their value between 13 and 24%. Households living in streets that were paved obt...
متن کاملUrban Road Repair Structural Design of Urban Roads
Municipal engineers are faced with the difficult task of managing the urban roadway network. Maintaining this significantly large and expensive infrastructure requires effective planning and design. However, the majority of currently available design tools were developed originally for analyzing highway pavements. Little attention has been given in the past to urban road related issues. The env...
متن کاملThe microeconomic effects of infrastructure: Experimental evidence from street pavement
We design an infrastructure experiment in Mexico to evaluate the impact of firsttime asphalting of inhabited residential streets on property values and household outcomes. We find substantial impacts on housing values (+16%) and land values (+54%). At the household level, street paving increased the use of collateral-based credit, and had strong effects on vehicle ownership (+43%), durable good...
متن کاملEffects on road safety of new urban arterial roads.
This paper presents an evaluation of the effects on road safety of new urban arterial roads in Oslo, Norway, and a synthesis of evidence from similar studies that have evaluated the safety effects of new urban arterial roads in other cities. A before-and-after study was made of four urban arterial road projects in Oslo. The study controlled for general accident trends in Oslo and for regression...
متن کاملRoADS: A Road Pavement Monitoring System for Anomaly Detection Using Smart Phones
Monitoring the road pavement is a challenging task. Authorities spend time and finances to monitor the state and quality of the road pavement. This paper investigate road surface monitoring with smartphones equipped with GPS and inertial sensors: accelerometer and gyroscope. In this study we describe the conducted experiments with data from the time domain, frequency domain and wavelet transfor...
