Management of Traffic Flows and Density
Ensuring the Availability of Transport Infrastructure Requires a Comprehensive Approach
Ensuring the availability of transport infrastructure must address a number of factors such as capacity and the method of controlling prevailing or alternative modes of transportation, preferences of current transport service users, planned or anticipated industrial and demographic developments in the region, and similar developments in neighbouring regions. Therefore, ensuring the availability must take into account the impact of the transit corridors, in addition to the basic factors influencing them. The availability of a nationwide transport infrastructure results from the combination of regional transport infrastructure and transit corridor availability.
Deloitte is ready to assess the level of regional transport infrastructure and individual, alternative transportation scenarios mainly for new or planned industrial zones and large logistics centres.
Road Transport Shows the Highest Growth Rate
Contrary to other modes of transport whose routes are professionally managed, a distinguishing characteristic of road transport is the very complicated rules and regulations to which companies must adhere. This fact, together with the need to ensure multi-loading and/or just-in-time or point-to-point deliveries, makes the transfer of loads between transport routes difficult. One possible way to resolve this situation is to implement a flexible telematics-based transport management system in identified road routes which have bottlenecks. As compared to other modes of transport, road transport experiences changes in its network and traffic intensity at access points, e.g. logistics centres or industrial zones. Consequently, a much higher volume of traffic can unexpectedly hinder local availability of transport infrastructure in road routes distant from the causative agent, which the common evaluation procedures are not able to account for.
In this field, Deloitte can assess proposed implementations of telematic devices and anticipated effects of regulated transport. Deloitte is also ready to assist in preparing the optimum method of delivering information to road users, evaluating the efficiency of implemented telematic services, and set criteria indicating the time when an extension of road infrastructure capacity should be considered.
