A TOOL FOR CALCULATING EXTERNAL COSTS AND EFFICIENCY OF FREIGHT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS

It becomes increasingly important to analyze the environmental impact and effectiveness of goods transport systems. The impact of transport on environment, climate and health can be calculated as external costs. This paper presents a tool that can be used to internalize the external effects and analyze the effect of changes in goods transport solutions. The tool provides estimates of 1) transport efficiency and effectiveness, expressed as total logistics cost, and 2) environmental and other external interference, expressed as external costs. The tool addresses all modes of transport and a wide variety of parameters besides CO2 emissions. The tool has been tested in case studies with conflicts or synergies between environmental and logistical efficiency. A challenge in the case studies was to get the required data. In order to capture the intrinsic uncertainties in these types of models, uncertainty calculations are made.
