Objective
The Problem
The general aim of the TRANS-TALK project was to provide a framework for the integration of various policy and project assessment methodologies in the field of transport. It attempts to address the following:
"Today the policy analyst has available a multitude of assessment methods with differing underlying assumptions and a wide range of criteria for weighing and aggregating impacts and presenting results. No clear guidelines exist to tell which assessment method suits best which decision-making situation or how to integrate the results of the different methods"
Objective
The specific objectives of the TRANS-TALK thematic network are:
Elaborate preliminary framework for integration of different policy & project evaluation methodologies
Provide guidelines to policy-makers & analysts (i.e. set standards in the field of transport evaluation)
Effect networking between relevant actors (research, policy, economic) across policy sectors and in this link existing / past research.
