Abstract
The transportation system conveys interdependencies. When analysing the costs and benefits of transport investment projects, it is therefore necessary to address the question of linkages among projects. Such linkages can occur in terms of economies of scale in arising from the combination of projects during the construction phase. Linkages may also arise in supply through interaction among network components, or among the producers of transportation services. Linkages may also emerge in demand through the creation of new opportunities for interaction.
