DEVELOPMENT OF A METHOD OF DYNAMIC INVESTMENT PLANNING-PILOT STUDY

ENTWICKLUNG EINES VERFAHRENS ZUR DYNAMISCHEN INVESTITIONS-PLANUNG-PILOTSTUDIE

A synopsis of a 291-page study ordered by the German Federal Transport Minister. By means of a pilot study, an effort is made to take into account the very long processes involved in transport infrastructure investment planning and implementation, and the interdependence of projects as regards cost-benefit calculations. For this, it becomes necessary to group together the multiple periods of time and correlations between projects, so as to simulate the operational aspect of data input and calculation. The method is explained with two examples of communication routes planning. The mathematical processes used in particular are quadratic whole-number programming and the "Branch and Bound" method.
