Transport economics 

The global transport sector is growing. This growth has resulted in an increased demand for economic and financial analyses of the transport sector in order to provide clients with a solid decision support tool.

International integration and the continuous development of markets have lead to an increased demand for improvement of the infrastructure, operation and organisation of transport.

Transport demand

COWI perform analyses and assessments of the development in the demand for transport by user type (mode, passenger type and freight) as a result of the economic situation and changes in infrastructure networks, services and charge regimes.

Services

COWI conduct economic and financial feasibility studies and cost-benefit assessments, and our transport economists are skilled users of the HDM model developed by the World Bank.
 
We have developed specific methods for valuating external costs and benefits linked to the transport sector, and we regularly take part in European research projects to keep our state-of-art knowledge updated.

Management services

The combination of analyses of demand and cost structures and financial and institutional analyses is a key element in our management services within the transport sector.

We work globally

COWI perform transport studies that include all modes of transport and we work in a wide range of countries and regions such as Denmark, European countries, the CIS countries, Asia and Africa.
