World Experience in Ex-Post Evaluation of Transport Infrastructure Projects

Abstract
Transport infrastructure projects are costly and depend on a number of factors. The lack of common definitions and methodology for measuring transport infrastructure costs prevents cross-country comparisons. The article presents a review of academic works on the analysis of transport infrastructure projects, analyzes the methodological documents of ex-post evaluation in the UK and Australia, and proposes an approach to ex-post evaluation in Russia. This approach suggests performing the ex-post evaluation in one year, five years, 15 years after the operation start, and at the year operation termination. Conducting expost evaluation will make it possible to compile a knowledge base of Russian transport infrastructure projects, conduct research on actual data, increase the accuracy of calculations in the forecast effect models.
