ECONOMIC QUESTIONS (HUNGARY)

CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC ROADS ARE OF VITAL IMPORTANCE BY THEIR ECONOMIC INFLUENCE. HUNGARY HAS PREVIOUSLY DETAILED INFORMATION OF THE EXAMINATION SYSTEM USED, THE ESSENCE OF WHICH IS THAT THE RATIO OF ADVANTAGES ARISING IN THE YEAR REGARDED AS DECISIVE, TO THE AMOUNTS INVESTED MUST REACH THE GIVEN NORM IF IT IS TO BE CALLED AN ECONOMICAL ESTABLISHMENT. DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC ROADS THEN MUST BE CARRIED OUT PROPORTIONATELY TO THE INCREASE IN THE VEHICLE STOCK AND THE KILOMETER TRAVEL OF TRAFFIC. FOR PUBLIC ROAD ESTABLISHMENTS IN HUNGARY THE EVALUATION OF EFFICIENCY IS USED WIDELY. ON SECTIONS WHERE CAPACITY IN THE PERIOD OF EXAMINATION HAS PROVED TO BE UNSATISFACTORY ACCORDING TO TRAFFIC ESTIMATES, THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW LINE FOR THE RELIEF OF TRAFFIC HAS BEEN ENVISAGED WITHOUT ANY EXAMINATION, TO BE OPENED TO TRAFFIC IN THE YEAR WHEN IT HAS ALREADY REACHED THE PLANNED VALUE OF CAPACITY. THE SUM OF THE ROAD DEVELOPMENT SCHEME HAS BEEN SET BY THE TOTAL OF CREDIT DEMANDS ON ROUTE CONSTRUCTION THAT CAN BE REALIZED ECONOMICALLY DURING THE SCHEME PERIOD. BASED ON THE SAME METHOD OF ECONOMIC CALCULATION, 273 RAILROAD LEVEL CROSSINGS ON THE ROUTES OF THE TRUNK ROAD SYSTEM WERE EXAMINED IN ORDER TO FIND OUT WHETHER IT IS REASONABLE TO DEVELOP ELEVATED CROSSINGS AT THESE PLACES WITHIN THE PLAN-PERIOD, AND WHICH IS THE TIME FOR CONSTRUCTION JUSTIFIED BY ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS. THE EFFICIENCY METHOD COMES IN HANDY WHEN THE TIME SCHEDULE OF CONSTRUCTION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME ROAD IS TO BE DETERMINED. AN EXAMPLE IS GIVEN USING THIS METHOD FOR DETERMINING MOTORWAY CONSTRUCTION. /AUTHOR/
