Improving Transport
Facilitation
This site is a reference point for the collective
work of the Transport and Tourism Division and Member Countries on the
analysis of land and land-cum-sea transport routes that facilitate trade
within Asia and with global markets.
As part of our efforts to improve transport facilitation
in our Member Countries, UNESCAP has adapted a simple method to assist
decision makers in understanding the pattern and magnitude of time and
cost involved in the trasportation process and identify, isolate &
address physical and non physical obstacles. The model output is a visual
representation of the transport process from origin to destination,
which plots distance (x-axis) against either cumulative time or cumulative
cost (y-axis).
This information on transport route analysis is
structured to provide information on:
i). projects
within ESCAP that are analysing transport routes in Asia;
ii). the operation
of the time/cost methodology in more detail, and how it can assist
decision makers by indentifying transport bottlenecks;
iii). published
studies that have used the methodology; and
iv). compiled
raw data from those studies for download.
