Africa Transport Technical Note No.18
This note presents a consumer surplus model to help evaluate investments in roads with low traffic volumes (between 50 and 200 vehicles per day) which are so prevalent in Africa. The model is implemented in a series of Excel workbooks that estimate vehicle operating costs and speeds, perform an economic comparison of investments and maintenance options, and perform switch-off values and stochastic risk analysis.
