1 THE RESEARCH ON THE CROSS-BORDER TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE: PHASE II Final Report 6.6 Transport Demand Estimate in the Greater Mekong Subregion and Effect of CBTI on Regional Development (Trial Calculation) By using data collected so far, transport demand in relation to CBTI development was estimated. It should be noted, however, that this estimate was based on some rough assumptions and hypotheses due to limited data availability and uncertain data accuracy. In this trial estimate, population and GRDP by province were obtained from the official statistics of each country, while the OD tables and the transport network came from the ADB transport sector strategy study. The trial calculation is conducted for the present conditions in 2004 due to data availability. 1) Traffic Demand Growth and Regional Development Impacts due to CBTI/CBTA Development (1) Considerations to Demand Estimation In this trial calculation, the impact of CBTI development was estimated by assuming that people in one area interact with those in other areas, thereby mutually influencing their respective socio-economies and cultures. This influence is latent and can be called the potential of the region. The potential increases when populations become larger and the distances between two areas shorten. In other words, the potential increases if travel time (time distance) decreases as a result of CBTI development. Higher potential results in the growth of the GRDP and traffic volumes. The process of this demand estimation is schematically illustrated in Figure As for zoning, the study area comprising 5 countries and some parts of China was divided into 190 zones according to the provincial boundaries of each country, as was done in the ADB transport sector strategy study. Zones outside the GMS and the ocean-going shipping lines were excluded just like in the ADB study.

2 THE RESEARCH ON THE CROSS-BORDER TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE: PHASE II Final Report (2) Estimation Method GRDP Estimate In order to estimate the GRDP, it was assumed that the potential grows as travel time shortens, as a result of CBTI development, and that zonal GRDP changes accordingly. The potential of a zone could be expressed in the following formula: i j Pop Pop 12 Pi 10 (1) n dij i The advantage of zone i is proportionate to the population Pop in zone i and at the j same time to the population Pop in its partner zone j. It is inversely proportionate to travel time d ij (hour) between zone i and zone j. The potential of zone i is defined as the sum of these advantages for all partner zones. The growth of the potential is thus a result of shortened travel time between zones, which is brought about by CBTI development. The interrelationship between the GRDP and its potential is almost linear, as exemplified in the figure below: Figure Relationship between GRDP and Its Potential in Lao PDR Since the GRDP-potential interrelationship is markedly different by country, the respective GRDPs were estimated using a correction parameter calculated for each country. For a small number of zones deviating extremely from the average tendency, separate correction factors were applied. The GRDPs were estimated using the following formula and parameters: GRDP (2) i P i Country Parameter Lao PDR Vietnam Cambodia Thailand Myanmar China

3 THE RESEARCH ON THE CROSS-BORDER TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE: PHASE II Final Report Estimate of Trip Generation/Attraction The next step was to estimate generation/attraction of passenger and freight in each zone in the GMS. The ADB transport sector strategy study classified passenger flow into OD tables of 5 modes: motorcycle, car, bus, railway, and inland waterway. Motorcycle use was limited to short-distance trips, and inland waterway was used only in some special areas since traffic volume is small. Thus, for these 2 modes, the present figures were taken without estimating the changes. Trip generation/attraction was estimated for the remaining 3 modes, namely car, bus, and railway. The current modal split shares of these 3 modes were also assumed. However, unlike in the ADB study, intrazonal traffic was not considered. As for freight flow, the OD table consists of the 3 modes of truck, railway, and inland waterway. Although the freight flow by inland waterway is only between limited zones, the transported volume is large unlike the passenger volume. The total transport volumes in these 3 modes were estimated as the first step. Although the volumes of traffic generation and attraction tended to be generally different for freight, they are almost the same as a shown in the ADB study. Therefore, total generation and attraction volume was first estimated, then divided into generation and attraction using the current ratio of generation and attraction. Figure Relationship between Passenger Trip Generation/Attraction and GRDP for Lao PDR As the relationship between trip generation/attraction and GRDP is almost linear as shown above, the GRDP was taken as an explanatory variable in the regressional equation. Such equation was prepared for each country using a correction factor, as was done in the GRDP estimate, to wit: GAi GRDP i (3) 6-22

Although the gravity model may be suitable for estimating trip distribution to quantify the effect of completed CBTI, the present pattern method was instead adopted due to the lack of data. While there are many zonal pairs set at zero in the OD tables, the zero was replaced by 1 in the OD tables when the Fratar method was used. Traffic Assignment This task assigns the traffic volume between zones onto the transport network. Unlike urban traffic, however, travel time between zones are very long and traffic congestions has little impact on modal choice. Therefore it is assumed that the minimum path in terms of the generalized cost shall be selected. Traffic assignment was done using PCU (passenger car unit) after converting the passenger and freight flow using the average occupancy (passengers/pcu) and the average load (tons/pcu) as was done in the ADB study. 6-23

17 THE RESEARCH ON THE CROSS-BORDER TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE: PHASE II Final Report 2) Increase in Traffic Demand and Regional Development Impact driven by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) integrated with CBTI/CBTA Development (1) Estimate of FDI Impact and Scenario of Trial Calculation Estimation Process of FDI Impact Trial calculation was conducted to estimate the impact of FDI in selected areas. When FDI increases, the GRDP grows through interindustrial relationships. This increased GRDP is the input to the process of transport demand estimation explained in the previous section. The data used here is identical to that of transport demand estimate, and the process is almost the same. The process is shown in Figure Transport Demand Forecast Model Figure Estimation Process of FDI Impact Transport network with CBTI development Population by zone Travel Time between zones Calculation of GRDP Potential by zone FDI Estimate of GRDP by zone Growth in GRDP Estimate of traffic generation/attraction Estimate of traffic distribution Traffic assignment FDI Impact Estimates (a) Effect Estimated by Industrial Input-Output Table Since the industrial input-output (IO) tables of Cambodia and Lao PDR have not been worked out, that of Thailand made in 2000 was used instead. The target industry of FDI was selected from past trends. The investment effect in Thailand in 2000 was estimated by industry using the industrial IO table (see Table 6.6.4). The figures in that table reflect the sum of the effects on all industries when one unit of investment is made on a selected industry. For instance, a million-dollar investment in crops created a GDP growth estimated at million dollars (1.726-fold increase from a million dollar) in the whole region. 6-36

33 THE RESEARCH ON THE CROSS-BORDER TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE: PHASE II Final Report 3) Observations and Recommendations about the Current Database In the course of the trial calculations, problems and issues were identified in relation to the current database. Below are the observations or recommendations. (1) Verification of existing transport network data For some links, travel speed is set at 100 km/h or more. For many links, toll is set, which seems to be unrealistic. The relationship between representative mode (OD table) and passable network is unclear (e.g. between road and inland waterway). Particularly for freight, the use of item-wise OD tables should be taken into account. It is necessary to investigate how to quantify the institutional cross-border impedance. (2) Accuracy enhancement of existing OD tables Interrelationship between OD tables and socioeconomic indicators should be clear. The determinant factors of trip distribution should be clarified. Investigation is needed for goods classification; interrelationship between weight and value; time value (cost); and so on. Trade OD by shipping should be surveyed. (3) Uncertain socioeconomic indicators The indicators related to trip generation should be surveyed in addition to the existing population and GDP/GRDP. Development status of the transport network should be investigated in a time series. Characteristics by province (zone) should be identified. Suitable regional development including the industries which are likely to grow in the future should be identified. Construction of industrial input-output table by province is required. 6-52

34 7. Further Research Issues and Recommendations 7.1 Further Research Issues THE RESEARCH ON THE CROSS-BORDER TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE: PHASE II Final Report 1) Building Strategic Cross-border Transport Planning Model A strategic cross-border transport planning model is an essential tool for planning and evaluating infrastructure development projects (including not only transport infrastructure such as road, railway, and port but also facilities and equipment required for border crossing procedures and control such as customs) and regional development projects related to cross-border transport. Strategic models can improve effectiveness and efficiency of investment, as well as promote consensus building among stakeholders. Nowadays, a number of researches on this issue have been done. A trial analysis was also done in this study, as described in Chapter 6. However, there are still many constraints to overcome, which include difficulties in modeling and accuracy of data. Difficulties in Modeling: This study concludes that a strategic cross-border transport planning model should integrate the transport model and the regional economy model. Since both models are already available, a theoretical breakthrough is not required to formulate strategic cross-border transport planning model. The issue is more on how to integrate both models giving due consideration to the types and the coverage of available data and how to improve the strategic model s practicability 1). While this issue can be solved in the short term, a serious bottleneck is the availability of existing data, as described below. Accuracy of Data: Various data in the GMS countries have been collected during the course of this study, but these are not sufficient to develop a model. Particularly, serious constraints are found in socio-economic indicators by province (such as GRDP), current conditions of infrastructure (such as road, railway, port, etc.), traffic volume data by section, OD table, and industrial input-output tables. These data are not available in most countries, or even if available, they are unreliable 2). Collecting or constructing these data with satisfactory accuracy would entail huge costs and a long time, all the more for time-series data. It is therefore recommended that JICA cooperation should concentrate on selected routes, and to collect data efficiently along these routes. 2) Detailed Analysis and Evaluation of Good Practice Applicability to other countries was examined in Chapter 5. In these countries systematic and exhaustive guidelines have not yet been formulated partly due to the data constraints mentioned above. More fundamentally, it is because cross-border transport and CBTI development are rather new and there is little evaluation of their impacts. Although cross-border traffic or trade has long been active among the GMS countries, a strategic policy to promote cross-border transport along with regionalization and globalization has been crafted only in the last 10 years. In order to apply the results of this study on cross-border transport, specialization and generalization may be required. Specialization will evaluate each CBTI development project and regional development project in detail through a before and after monitoring survey. Generalization will aim to extract lessons learned from the results of evaluation. Although it may be difficult to evaluate CBTI 1 Practicability means that how it can demonstrate the current conditions and how can be applied in future. 2 For example, there is no GRDP by province in Myanmar, Lao PDR and Cambodia. 7-1

35 THE RESEARCH ON THE CROSS-BORDER TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE: PHASE II Final Report development and extract lessons learned in the Greater Mekong Subregion, a detailed analysis of selected projects to find out good practices can be done. It is expected that necessary information will be collected systematically by focusing on selected model routes recommended below. 7.2 Recommendations of the Study 1) Public Information and Coordination with GMS Countries and International Donors It is recommended that the results of this study be shared with the GMS countries and international donors, such as the ADB, and to disseminate the future direction of JICA cooperation to them. It will further improve organic linkages and international cooperation. 2) Focus on Human Resource Development and Institution Building The long-term development framework for the Greater Mekong Subregion has been formulated with the ADB s initiative, which includes CBTI development projects and soft infrastructure projects to facilitate cross-border transport. What remains to be done is its implementation. Particularly, CBTA implementation will require a huge effort on human resource development and institution building in each country. JICA is expected to conduct technical cooperation focusing on human resource development and institution building with its existing schemes and technology. Cooperation and coordination with international donors, such as the ADB, are also essential. 3) Model Route Development in Lao PDR and Cambodia It is recommended that two model routes be selected, namely Thailand-Lao PDR-Vietnam and Thailand-Cambodia-Vietnam, and to focus on promoting regional development of intermediate countries, i.e. Lao PDR and Cambodia. A set of projects can be conducted. A policy to focus on Lao PDR and Cambodia is consistent with Japan s Basic Cooperation Strategy with ASEAN, i.e. reduction of disparities among GMS countries. Since JICA has good resources of knowledge on regional infrastructure policy, it is expected to provide technical assistance for the construction of a strategic transport planning model and the formulation of a regional development plan. 7-2
