The Hungarian Development Information System

An information system is being developed to serve as a basis for transport development decisions, incorporating data bases on transport and the socioeconomic environment. Since the system will rely partly on statistical and factory data banks that have already been created for purposes other than research, it is possible for the system to provide data continuously, right from the beginning of its development. The data provided and the partial results obtained in the course of elaboration of the system have greatly contributed to development of the system and to covering the costs of development. The plan is to complete the development program in 1985. In the course of developing the system, it has become apparent that long-term traffic forecasting (over a period of 30-40 years) and the preparation of decisions related to development of the infrastructure can only be carried out reliably on a regional scale, through international cooperation. A possibility for such international cooperation has already arisen with the launching of development of the Trans-European Motorway (TEM) information system (TEMIS) with the participation of 10 countries in the form of an expanded activity within the framework of the UNDP development planning task for the North-South TEM. The TDIS will be developed in such a way that the Hungarian system will be able to form an integral part of the TEMIS.
