Analysis Studies Utilising the Time/Cost Methodology
The following pages provide synopsis of studies that have utilised the
UNESCAP Time/Cost - Distance Methodology. Countries are encouraged to
undertake the route analysis periodically to take snapshots of the progress
mode in the smooth movement of goods on specific routes.
The map below shows the route studies that have been completed. Click

Completed Studies
Transit Transport Issues in Landlocked and Transit Developing
Countries, 2003
To give appropriate emphasis to the continuing problems
faces by landlocked and transit developing countries and the need
to improve their transit transport system the UN General Assembly
convened an international Ministerial meeting in Kazakhstan on 28-29
August 2003. As part of the preparatory process, the secreatial developed
the methodology for analyzing transit transport corridors described
above. Four cases studies for the subregions of Central Asia (Kazakhstan,
Uzbekistan), South-East Asia (Lao People's Democratic Republic), North-East
Asia (Mongolia), and South Asia (Nepal) were conducted where the Methodology
was first applied. |
Integrated International Transport and Logistics System for North
East Asia
In 2005, UNESCAP, in conjunction with the Korea Transport
Institute, undertook a comprehensive study of routes in north-east
Asia entitled "Integrated International Transport and Logistics
System for North-East Asia". This study analysed routes covering
Mongolia, China, DPR Korea, Japan, Republic of Korea and the Russian
Federation. |
Development of Asia-Europe Rail Container Transport Through Block-trains:
Northern Corridor of the Trans-Asian Railway, 1999
With the globalization of markets, the need for efficient
and reliable international transport routes and networks has become
more significant. Their development requires creating new infrastructure,
or upgrading existing national and international infrastructures to
accommodate the increase in traffic volumes. This publication examines
routes and networks, container traffic, distribution of volumes, and
the commitment to rail and ocean carriers. It serves as a guideline
for countries to perceive the benefits gained from the development
of efficient rail services along the routes constituting the Trans-Asian
Railway Northern Corridor. It highlights components of services that
should receive specific attention for services to attract shippers
and secure their loyalty. It is also focused on developing international
railway route and land-bridge decisions. |
