Dataverktoy for Beregning av Samfunnsokonomisk Nytte av Godstiltak. Forprosjekt.

This document is an overview of the first version of software created to analyze cost-benefits of changes to the Norwegian freight transport system. Inputs used in the logistics model include: commodity classes and firms; transport distances and times; and shipment size and frequency. When changes such as, infrastructure changes or taxation changes occur, the model can be used to study mode choice and route choice impacts. A spreadsheet model was created to calculate benefits of policy changes. Elements include: cost, costs to shipper, public sector revenue, and external costs.
