TRANSPORT COSTS FOR HIGHWAY PLANNING IN INDONESIA: RESULTS FROM NEW RESEARCH INTO SPEED AND FUEL CONSUMPTION IN CONGESTION, VALUES OF PASSENGER TIME

Despite the introduction of road planning models (such as the World Bank's Highway
Development and Management Model, HDM-4) there is still considerable uncertainty
about the validity of using existing vehicle operating cost models in different countries and
the appropriate procedures for estimating passenger values of time. In order to address
these issues three studies were undertaken covering speeds and fuel consumption, values
of time and vehicle maintenance costs. Most of the field work was undertaken during 1996
and 1997.The research was carried out by the Institute of Road Engineering in Bandung in
co-operation with the Transport Research Laboratory of the UK. The work programme was
funded by the World Bank, the Department for International Development, UK and the
Government of Indonesia.
