Here's how you can evaluate the economic impact of transportation projects effectively.

Every transport project has different economic goals. For instance, the economic benefits of an urban rail project may be focused on modality shift, thus leading to reduced road congestion, reduced vehicular pollution, reduced road accidents, among other wider economic benefits, etc. However, the economic benefits of a high-speed rail (HSR) project may be focused more on increased productivity, increased GDP, job creation, etc.

The main goal that transporters are looking for these days is improving efficiency and at the same time looking to reduce costs. With fixed costs moving upwards, the variable costs have to be managed to get the above results.

Unfortunately many transporters still don't know their operating costs or choose to ignore the same while quoting freight. This is one of the reasons why they are working with wafer thin margins, which also reduces investments in tech and upgrades.

Costing is most neglected topic reason behind is its very dynamic in nature in Transport industry. based on vertical and product type we should build a custom costing module with some more dynamism left open . Ultimately every cost head must me mapped with revenue heads with prefeed benchmarking escalation matrix and actionable formulas to take actions digitally.

The operating costs for a trucking company can vary depending on several factors, but here are some of the main expenses: 1. Fuel 2. Labor 3. Maintenance and Repair 4. Insurance 5. Depreciation, lease payments, and purchases of new vehicles and equipment. 6. Costs associated with route optimization, dispatch software, and navigation systems. 7. Costs related to safety training, compliance with regulations, and permits. 8. Costs associated with loading, unloading, and transporting cargo. 9. Salaries, benefits, and expenses for office staff, including accounting, human resources, and management. 10. Tolls, scales, fuel surcharges, and other miscellaneous expenses.

The Appraisal Guidelines for Metro Rail Project Proposals by Government of India provides a good reference. It mandates an economic IRR of 14% (as against the earlier financial IRR of 8%) for project appraisal.

It is imperative that customers treat their transporters as channel partners and help them improving efficiency. This will eventually benefit the customers as well as the transporters- thus impacting the overall Logistics Cost.

Driver shortage is something that could have an adverse impact on the industry in the next few years. While there is a shortage even now, but excess capacity in the system is covering that for now. Hope all the stakeholders take steps to make this profession attractive and the first step towards that would be to make it respectable.

Evaluating the economic impact of transportation projects effectively involves a systematic approach that combines data analysis, stakeholder engagement, and comprehensive modeling. Start by defining clear objectives and key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure economic outcomes. Collect relevant data, including traffic volumes, travel times, accident rates, and regional economic indicators. Use economic impact analysis tools, such as cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and economic impact models, to assess direct, indirect, and induced effects. Engage with stakeholders, including local communities, businesses, and government agencies, to gather insights and ensure all potential impacts are considered.

Shortage of drivers does exists for the last many decades despite the fact that both MRF and Ashok Leyland sponsored drivers institute in Chennai and Namakkal but very few opted to take this training to become drivers for Comercial vehicles. Most of them are scarred over the harassment in the hands of enforcing authorities and dace them

Driver shortage in my opinion is just the news spread rolling over years, we still have lot of people to take up the driver Job provided one has a proper compensation plan which can take care of their needs and guide properly. After a long recession in IT industry still people opt to become a software engineer reason being who ever has got a job was paid wow.
