Economic analysis

If projects are generating external benefits useful for whole society

INVESTMENT COSTS + OPERATIONAL COSTS <= EXTERNAL BENEFITS

Financial analysis

are generating profits during reference period are generating profits only with financial contribution from EU are costs and revenues equal are generating looses

INVESTMENT COSTS + OPERATIONAL COSTS <= OPERATIONAL REVENUES

Monitored aims in construction of terminals of intermodal transport

Time saving be on time at work work time not reduced due to slow transport no loses on GDP (when people work as long as they should, not less)

Changes in the number of car accidents less people are injured in car accidents less expenditure in health care people are able to work and they are able to earn money no looses on GDP (when people do not work due to injury less people die on the roads less loses on GDP

Changes in air pollution less pollution clean environment

Monitored aims in construction of terminals of intermodal transport

Changes in noise influence less people with hearing problems less money on health care comfortable life

Climate changes less problems in nature (floods) less costs for country recovery

Costs for reparation of the roads less money spend on road repairs comfortable transportation on better roads

Employment during construction and operation less unemployment

Conclusion

Government should consider pros and cons concerning to construction of terminal of intermodal transport from wider perspective.

It means that if terminals of intermodal transport generate a lot of external benefits, government should decide to build them also in case that terminals do not generate high operational profit.

Thank you for your attention
