Abstract

This paper shows the current situation in the revision of the present evaluation method for the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan (FTIP) in 2015. New to the evaluation process is a superior prioritizing strategy, which the degree of urgency for adaptions on the transport infrastructure has to be orientated on. This prioritizing strategy also enables a consistent merge of the single assessment modules. A focus is set on the further development of the cost-benefit analysis (CBA) as the core assessment tool of the FTIP evaluation process. Within the CBA-module the authors especially react to the topics ‘plausibility check on investment costs’, ‘measuring and assessing of infrastructure caused changes in reliability’, as well as to a big survey on values of travel time savings (VTTS).
