Traffic and congestion cost trends for Australian capital cities
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics (BITRE) Information Sheet updates the results of a previous Bureau study (BTRE 2007, Working paper 71) identifying long-term trends in urban traffic growth and estimating the consequent impacts of that traffic growth on road network congestion levels within the Australian capital cities. Such studies attempt a suitable quantification of the aggregate social costs arising from those traffic congestion levels. Like Working paper 71 (BTRE 2007), this study presents order of magnitude estimates for the current (hypothetically avoidable) social costs of congestion, and describes possible base case, or ‘business-as-usual’ (BAU), projections of these congestion costs for Australian metropolitan road traffic trends.
